Modern Skipper and Liv Doll Skin Match?

Postby Kattriella » Sat Dec 16, 2017 10:07 pm

So, in the process of Frankendolling together a fully articulated Skipper doll, I wound up with several Skippers with no articulation, but gorgeous faces and, well . . . Now I feel bad for them. I've been told that Liv dolls make nice body swaps for them, but I don't know which character matches Skipper's skintone. Anybody got any Liv girls and Skippers lying around who could check and see? I know the lightest skinned girl isn't a match (she's too pale) because I got one at a thrift store. I think she needs the next darkest shade, but I don't know the name of the character to search for. Help? Please?

Post a pic of the Skipper head so I can see if I have it. I have a full range of Livs.

The other heads are the same skintone, this is just the first girl I found.

Do you have a Skipper that matches any of the Liv dolls? That would be a good place to start, at least.

That's okay.

I did some major search g around, and I think Daniela might be a close match for this Skipper. She's too dark for the lighter girls, but too light for Alexis. (I think I got those names right.) I wish I could find a picture of the Liv girls lined up by skintone. It might help me judge better, but I can't find one.

I have a Stacie's head that I have on a Hayden's body. The Stacie doll is Skipper's little sister and have the same skin tone. My Skipper's head I put on a fashionista body with the same skin tone.


Here are the dolls side by side.

Does Hayden have darker skin than Sophie? Because my Skipper is just a little darker than Sophie. (I found a Sophie doll at Goodwill a while back.)
