Guy skintone matches? AKA This fandom is gonna be my end

I need to know what doll has a skintone that matches Moxie Teenz Gavin. The body would need to be around the same size as Tom Comet, who I think is a silver version of the 1999 Ken body since I need him to be just slightly taller than Liv Jake. Were there any Kens that were paler than the current ones or any other bodies that have the same height? Thanks in advance.

1975, 1999, 2009 100 poses, Harley body. They're all about the same in height so it comes down to joints. The 2009 is the least flexible.

Off the top of my head all the white skin tones are about the same for Ken, the only lighter one I have is vampire Edward and he doesn't have joints. Disney princess are about the same. Obitsu Slim and Volks Neo Goh are lighter but they don't have the exact same tone.

Which doll is the one on the right? He looks paler than the others. Are there any older ones with a similar skintone? It doesn't need to be exactly the same just close is fine since even new dolls aren't always exact. Also what about Joes? He is gonna be a super soldier so more muscles is fine I just don't want him to be too short compared to his partner. I noticed 1999 Ken (who Tom Comet is based on)is bulkier than the other Kens. You wouldn't happen to have a Gavin around to compare would you?

I found my Gavin and compared him to the guys I have hanging around, he's a bit lighter than all the Kens and peachier than most of the other guys. The closest match which isn't exact was the Triad Omega which won't do him any favors. Monster Deuce was kind of close but the difference would be obvious.

The guy on the far right is Cpt Jack Sparrow on a "Harley" body and he's just slightly tan. The difference skin tones is a trick of the light, here's the same four in a different setting http://dolfielittles.typepad.com/blog/2 ... rison.html and the 1975 is actually the darkest.

Well I looked around Flickr and I came across a body I had never seen before. He seems slightly lighter and peachier than the kens. Flickr has also taught me that Joes are rather short and would not work.

Nope, doing group shots got away from me with the move and honestly I misplaced the f**ks I gave about my website. It's one of those tasks that goes better with help.

Try a Disney Prince? Some are tan to brown but there is one that's pretty pale. I'm not sure now because I don't have his head anymore but I think the one I used for the BB Ken I have was Cinderella's prince. Blond Barbie Basics Ken's head is a bit lighter than his body. I've got him on that Prince body now and that works well actually but looking at Gavin on my shelf I'd say he's a pretty hard match. Most guy dolls these days are pretty darned tan.

Oh I ended up getting a Michael body and it matches close enough. The size was perfect too.

What's a Michael body?

FYI for any interested in a Moxie Teenz Gavin. They are no longer making this doll. Grab them now if you want one.
Most of the store don't have him any more. I found one finally!
