Fashionisto Ken and other Xmas goodies
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 6:39 am
Well, these are probably my only doll related presents I'll get this year thanks to selling my textbooks, haha.
Fashionistas were 20% off so I grabbed two. So Lara finally got a non LIV body and Cutie got it... Lawl. So yeah, I have a random Fashionista to keep around until I need a body... And well, the Swapping Styles Barbie have literally wiped the normal ones from the shelves so yeah D8
Twilight Victoria was about half price so I grabbed her.
And they just introduced the new Fashionistos today with the sale price so score... lawl.
Thank goodness I sold my old books xD
Her hair was really nice but try washing it and all went to hell. So I chopped off the frizzy ends and relaxed the curls via perm boil.
I think she's gorgeous, eyecolour and all.
Though now I doubt she'll ever get a better body...
I do think this is one of Mattel's best screens...
Here she is on a white Volks body... which is actually darker than her! *sigh*
Asides from the fact Ken being a fashionista is gay on all levels, I must say I actually really like him out of package. The size is good, nice screening and the hair is not gelled to hell and back.
The clothes fit well and I actually like this doll with no mods. Heh, that is so strange. I can not remember liking a doll this much with no alterations...
"I want lots of chapstick."
Fashionista ken is the skinniest and second most short, bar Max Steel.
The most annoying thing is the articulation below the waist. But it doesn't affect me too much since I find the upper body to be the more expressive to me in photography terms.
His arms are on par with the other kens except he has sexy wrists, so win.
Honestly, if I had another Fashionisto Ken I would just cut him in half and kit bash it onto a MyScene boy body pelvic half.
His body is just so slim. Note in the last comparison all the other kens have broad shoulders. Fashionista's shoulders are more subtle...
Also, note his eyes are painted larger. If I had a second one I'm sure making smaller eyes would lessen the big head effect.
Edward fails on the Fashionista while Fashionista ken has no real problem on that body.
Ironically, Luke, the main guy I wanted this body for has a lollipop head effect on the body... However, the slimmer body suits the 80's style kens much better than what I've kept them on...
Anywho, since Ken is like a very gay timelord, I must say the updates to his new look are very welcomed, hopefully meaning that 2011 has a whole lot more of gay!Ken around.
