Okay, so, I totally caved.

After all these months of waffling and saying I wouldn't get one...
I bought a Moxie Teenz.
Meet Miyae, who prefers to be called Miya.
I'd heard a lot about the shortcomings of the MT body, and now I can report on the pros and cons of the MT first hand.
Pros: Slightly larger than a Barbie et al. About as poseable as a Barbie Fashionista. Beautiful face. The construction of the body is a lot sturdier than I first believed. It shouldn't be hard to adapt Barbie fashion patterns to fit her. Shoes could be a problem, but some Ken shoes will fit her, as will some of his clothes (pants are too short to be pants and too long to be capris).
Cons: Not as poseable as an Obitsu or even a Liv doll. I hate the ring hole in her right hand. You can't even wash her wig (the instructions say it will ruin it).
I've started drafting patterns for her for jeans, a skirt, a T-shirt, and a few other things. Once I've worked them out I can scan and post them for anyone who wishes to make clothes for their MT.
