The original doll was the orange top made to move barbie, and I was curious as to if her skin tone was a good match for Esme here. It's not that her old body (the one to the right) was badly articulated, it's just that it didn't do as much.
So final conclusions?
Actually a pretty good match! There's a bit more orange in Esme's facial skin tone but under most lights it's not that bad. The made to move seems very matte in comparison to the old mattel body.
Also? Much smaller chest, she does not fill out her bodice nearly as much as she once did.
Still, I'm happy. She'll be able to pull off all her awesome dance moves.
