Preface:<\/b><\/p>\n

As a disabled person living in *very* rural france, I do quite a bit of my doll shopping on Aliexpress (they sell mostly factory reject heads), I actually have had better odds at getting a doll head I can actually repair<\/i> than on amazon where glue head and wonk face reign supreme. Amazon is a godsend for other supplies but they don\u2019t do any quality control on toys.<\/p>\n

I get bodies for my caucasian and asian dolls on ebay france but brown and black skinned dolls are hard to find for under 10\u20ac ($15) each – even for dolls you\u2019d assume were quite common toy purchases such as Disney Princess Tiana or fashionistas Nikki. I used to go to ebay uk for doll shopping but the global shipping program made that way too expensive.<\/p>\n

So when these fakies showed up, I jumped on the occasion!<\/p>\n

Review: <\/b><\/p>\n

You can find them under “black barbie doll body” on ebay or aliexpress for 2.50 to 4$ each. The lighter toned one often comes with a cloned \u201cSummer\u201d head mold and the dark toned one comes with the \u201ccrescent” faced heads with yellow eyes.<\/p>\n

Articulation is the same as on the 11\/12 joint pale fakie bodies (around $2 each) with the same staining, plastic marbling and flash (excess plastic) issues. Remember to carefully test the rotation of each joint upon arrival and gently slice off excess plastic with a knife if they\u2019re stuck or they *will* snap off.<\/p>\n

The brown aa fakie body is an olivine match for barbie light brown but too pale for afra.<\/b><\/p>\n

The black aa fakie body is a greyish match for barbie light black but too dark for afra and too pale for dark brown.<\/b><\/p>\n

Light brown, Afra and Dark brown are the main brown skintones used since 2017. Light brown is Artsy\/Nikki fashionistas\u2019 colour. Light black is the skintone used for Cali girls Nikki, Generation girls Nichelle and various black barbies from the 70s to the mid 2000s<\/p>\n

Colour Match for the pale fakie bodies:<\/strong>
\nDoes not match the yellow tone of Barbie’s like Goddess of Greece or pale pink dolls like Draculaura but does match ‘white skin’ Licca:
