Male Bodies Comparison

***THIS POST CONTAINS (OBVIOUSLY) DOLL NUDITY. IF YOU'RE EASILY OFFENDED BY DOLL NUDITY, PLEASE LEAVE AND THROW YOURSELF OFF A CLIFF.***

 

From Left to Right: G.I. Joe - Max Steel - Flynn Rider on Bruce Lee body - Mermaid Tale Ken on Ryan body - Kristoff (Disney Prince Body)

 

A few weeks ago I purchased a G.I. Joe doll with the intention of using him as a body donor for my Kristoff or Hans dolls from the Disney Store, since I despise their original bodies. To my dismay, while comparing him to Kristoff's body, he's much smaller in height, and while I obviously prefer G.I. Joe's articulation, I can't stand the fact that, in this body, he'd be the exact same size as Anna or Elsa or any other Disney Store female doll. So, I brought out all of my articulated male guys for a comparison.

 

Kristoff and Ken are roughly the same size but Ken's head is pivotal while Kristoff's just moves from sides to sides. I know it's possible to modify the non-pivotal heads to fit on pivotal neck knobs but alas, Ken is too skinny for Kristoff's outfit, and his articulation isn't that great anyway.

 

I was lucky that my lame uncle forgot his (I'm pretty sure it's Medicom) Bruce Lee action figure, and Mr. Lee has, as you can see here, both a rotational neck like the DS' guys and a pivot point in the base of his neck so rebodying Flynn was easy as cake. You can see Flynn is slightly smaller than Ken, but he's actually not as tall compared to Rapunzel: a.dilcdn.com/bl/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/11/Rapunz... so I didn't have any issues with it. The skintone isn't a 100% match but with the outfit you can't really tell + I'd rather have him in a body that doesn't match than on the horrid body he came in.

 

Max Steel and G.I. Joe are the same height, and while Joe feels sturdier than Max, I prefer the latter because of his nice body shape. Joe's torso is kinda short and while he looks good dressed, it's really off-putting seeing him like this.
