Week 5: Model Toys
Taken 1/27/15
I won’t lie, trying to figure out something new to post each week has been a slight struggle. But that has also been what’s made this project so fun.
I go onto a lot of Photography websites and other 365 projects and I found a story about a Photographer mom who started posing her children’s toys for photos. I have this Wall-E Toy from way back when the movie came out, my younger brother wanted to throw him away but I kept him and he’s come along for my many adventures so far.
I’ve also been having fun learning more about my camera and it’s functions. I tried experimenting with the white balance to get these photos and I’m really happy with how they turned out.

Spinmaster Liv Doll on Mattel Barbie Vespa
Not first choice as a toy, but the dolls are have a good quality and look nice with the glass eyes, if you like the huge head. Wigs can be attached, which is a nice idea.

Short hair Fashionista Barbie with her head swapped onto a body with articulated joints (I know, sounds like a cheap horror movie).

Hasbro Disney Descendants
Not great dolls, but good enough if you find a good deal. Biggest issue are, as with many other dolls, are the feet with shoes that won’t fit other dolls and the other way around. Clothes are extremly cheaply made, and even lower quality than the late Barbie Fashionistas. Clothes from many other fashion dolls will fit though.If you find a way to get some shoes or your kids are into Disney, they are better than the Princess dolls, since they have articulated joints and more characters. This one was a thriftstore find with hair issues, so she got it cut short.

Casual Queen Mera
Queen Mera of Atlantis from the Aquaman series of 11 inch action figures. I bought the doll cheap after Christmas because the packaging was damaged. I like them because they have fully articulated joints and a more realistic and muscular body shape than the fragile and ill-proportioned Barbie dolls.My daughter likes them as well. She fits in some Barbie tops and wider dresses, Ken’s pants, and modified G.I. Joe clothes.

Hasbro G.I. Joe (aka G.I. Jane) Wearing Barbie Divergent
We love G.I. Joe figures from the 90s for being fully articulated and sturdy dolls/action figures. Because of their more realistic body proportions, they can’t wear Barbie clothes, and Hasbro sets are limited to military outfits. But they fit into Ken’s clothes! This outfit belongs to the Barbie Collector Divergent Four Doll, which where on sale for a while on Amazon. These make a great motorcycle outfit!

Asian Barbie Doll
I’m not an expert on Barbie dolls, but I noticed they are not very diverse. Even darker skin tones are hard to get. Unless you want to look your kid’s toy area like a Lenie Riefenstahl movie, it’s not easy to find a descent doll with features other than the classic blonde. So when Amazon suggested this Asian doll I ordered it right away (I usually don’t fall for these ads that easy). It’s fully articulated, which is also great, since many Barbie dolls are not very playable. She doesn’t come with the clothes shown on the photo. The original outfit is a yoga dress. The name is ‘Made To Move Barbie’. This just a sidenote if anyone out there is looking for something like this

The Tough Ladies of G.I. Joe
In the mid 90s Hasbroreleased a series of female 11 inch action figures with female soldiers. Unlike their skinny Barbie sisters, they have a more realistic body shape and are more durable for playing. With a few modifications they are able to wear clothes and shoes from other fashion dolls. The hands are bigger to handle the gear that comes with the male G.I. Joes (and other action figures).

Hasbro G.I. Jane Scuba Diver
G.I. Jane sporting G.I. Joe wet suit and scuba gear. A hit in the bathtub! These where made by Hasbro in the mid 90s. I praise these actionfigures for being very robust. Garage sales are your friend to find these for low prices. Don’t fall for collector prizes on Ebay.
