First off I must thank those who tried to help with body options. Unfortunately they didn't pan out...


Weird how this came about... I actuallu bought a play mates star trek doll to hybridise with ken but ken looked REALLY iffy on a straight cut neck... Unfortunately I hacked off the bottom of his neck so no way in hell will he use his old body. And so... I looked at the shape his his head and thought it looked more to be a rotable head than a turn head...

So I carved it out and picked up my only Neo Goh guy and thought "LAWL-TASTIC HYBRID TIEMS" but... oh carp. It looked REALLY good. Really, really good. And the fact Neo Gohs can wear Vintage Ken clothing perfectly... I guess Ken got his body...


Course I then stuffed his head with a plastic bag, wrapped massive amounts of tape on the neck knob and voila, a solution to the hybrid... It's not a very tight joint, but it doesn't fall off and he can pose so wewt.

It's perfect for what I wanted. Scrawny as heck (in comparison to my tank other men), lean and posable enough.

Anywho, Cadel is on Ken's original body with the help of a q-tip.

I'm not used to Ken having man hands... I miss his daintiness.

No more stick arms....Also, COMBAT WAIER IS A GO.

Not a perfect fit but meh.

Despite becoming AWESOME, Bitch Barbie owns his arse...

Wow, Ken is looking GREAT! It totally works I think. I really love how you're jointing up your vintages. They really do look fantastic. Intrigued by the photostory teaser - looks like fun! :D

Also, liking Emma's pigtails!

I really love seeing your vintage dolls with more awesome bodies.

The pigtails look great.

When does your photostory start? I'm intrigued.

Hippolyta, thanks! I LOOOOOOOOVE vintage faces as they hold a certain charm, but their bodies are so... irritating. And since articulation has a certain following I thought why not combine my two favourite things? >D

Eseme, thanks! Articulation + vintage = fun!

Well, I'm actually shooting the prologue today but the actual plot doesn't start until after November 15... cuz it's my last exam lol.

What head is Emma? Did you repaint her or this is defualt? She's looks kinda cute (considering my history with Barbie) :lol:

Nashira, thanks. He just looks so cute and awkward I love it :D


Iwa Hoshi, Emma is a default faced girl with a reroot. To me she loooks like a 8587 Barbie Twist N’ Turn (1973-1976), she came in 2 variations. One with the Steffie headmold and one with the Stacey headmold. It is an European/German version, not so high coloured like the American one:
Here you can see her boxed:

But I'm not a fantastic Vintage expert.

Ken looks awesome on that body. I remember a photo spread from a few years back in Haute Doll where they'd rebodied vintage Kens on Volks bodies and it looked really good.
Emma is adorables!
