Does anybody have any BMR1959 Ken skintones comparison photo

So I'm wondering if anyone has any comparison photos lf the BMR1959 lighter skinned Ken doll in comparison to the Purple Top MtM Barbie? I can't tell from only images if their skintones are the same or similar, and I don't want to buy a couple of them for a body swap only to find out they don't match. I know they definitely won't match what I want them for (the Twilight vampire boys), but I can probably tone them down a bit with some paint and pastels if they're light enough. I know I probably can't do it with my other articulated Kens because they all have a surprisingly dark tan, especially for a vampire, and MSC is too difficult to come by right now to use the amount it would take to recolor a darker body. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm working with and figure out how difficult this is going to be.

As a side note, if anyone knows of a better body match flr the vampires, I'd love to know. I'm going to try to make a Disney Descendants Mal body work for Alice, if nothing else. It won't be perfect, I'm sure, but it's a start.

According to my original post Cactus Ken, the other guy, compares to purple top and BMR is a bit off, slightly more pink.

As for vampires all I have is Deadwood and he's all sparkly.

He looks like he could work with a little pastel and the right lighting, thanks!

Also, what's Deadwood? O3O

The main sparkly Twilight guy doll, someone else called him Deadwood. Mugged his clothes and rerooted him.

All I know about it I know from memes. Something about facial expressions, an alpaca, and really creepy baby doll?

That's with flash on.

The BMR1959 bun head boy is paler than the MTM purple top girl. But it's not too bad a difference.

Actually, paler is okay, considering I'm planning to slap vampire heads on them. The less I have to tone them down, the better.
