Hi from the UK. I have 2 made to move Barbie dolls, and when you get a good one they are fab. but the quality control is very variable. My first I had to send back as she came with 2 left feet, litterally! the replacement was fine. the second I got was totally fine, the third I bought and was able to get a refund for because she had a fault with one of her elbow joints, it didn't move! This has been purchasing over a few years so it seems to be an ongoing issue with the quality control. I was thankful that the online store I purchased from was quick to offer refund or replacement, so I was not out of pocket. RIght with you on the hassle to unbox tho, needed nail clippers to get the barb from the head tag down to head level. Thanks for the detailed look on the obistu doll. Love your videos, they are so good.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing with us! Yikes that is crazy with the quality control on Barbie! 2 left feet?!?! That is crazy! I think Barbie is cool but I do love my Obitsu dolls :) Thanks for watching!!
Oh now that would be something! I have a made to move curvy (I had to buy at least one Barbie lol!) and she is beautiful in every way and I think it's about time they gave the joints to the whole fashionista range...at the moment it's only the girls in wheelchairs that have MTM bodies. I think the diversity in shapes and colours really should inspire the makers to add joints to the mix as it's probably going to make money in the long run because everyone isn't one standard colour or shape so there's always going to be a potential customer that particular doll will speak to.
A doll doesn't need "extra hands" for the hands to come off. Mattel's Monster High line have very splayed-out hands and spindly limbs, so the hands and forearms are designed to be removable for easier dressing and undressing. I can't remember if MtM Barbie was meant to have removable hands or not, but her forearms definitely DO NOT come off.
Hiya! I was just wondering if Barbies hands could come off easily like Obitsu dolls do. It was all just observation :) It would be pretty cool though if there were other optional hands for Barbie too :) I would love to see like a fist or like a peace sign, or something else super cute :)
I haven't owned a barbie for years but suddenly got this idea to buy my favorite doll from my childhood and put her head on an obitsu body but I'm not sure what size body to get for a barbie head to look proportional 🤔 (The head is from 2006 fairytopia mermaidia Merissa doll if that helps!)
as someone who owns and uses(plays with) both of these dolls, barbie joints tend to become loose and kinda useless, one of my dolls leg creaks whenever it bends. I don't have this problem with obitsu at all however, I'm not sure if thats the case with everyone though
I got the newer gray/chubby doll for like 10 dollars I believe. Love her and she actually stands really well :) also love love love the Jem and the Holograms table
I feel like I prefer Barbie's propotinis, the obitsu, while highly customisable is very skinny and I've had an issue with my last few soft bust girls where the chest joint won't stay down and keeps jacking up. Time for a change in my collection me thinks
I am glad you could see them side by side. I agree with you on the chest joint for the soft bust gals. I actually had to push mine in for the video . I think it will boil down to what you feel is best for you :) thanks so much for watching
@@AsenvaBJD but the barbie in the store costs the same as obitsu clones on aliexpress. and if you take the same aliexpress, then a barbie on it costs $ 13, while in an official store $ 36-48. Why?
It is a crazy cycle for sure. I think it’s Barbies are considered a name brand toy just like there are name brand purses (doesn’t mean that they are the best in quality for sure, like you said). Of course you can find some that are cheaper/bootlegs online but I think that’s why it is great to show the community other options and compare. Some people may think that Barbie is the only way to go and have never heard of Obitsu dolls before. I think it’s great to see different dolls :)
They are also made of vinyl but I have never tried mixing them. I would imagine you would need the 27cm body and the largest neck piece in order to do it.
I personally don't like the figure shape (mid section) on Obitsus. They feel so disproportionate to me and like they're uncomfortably unrealistic compared to other BJDs and Barbies. Currently btw! They have a curvy Made to Move Barbie that is so beautiful and wonderfully articulated even with the bigger legs and hips!
I would like to get an anime Obitsu doll that can fit into either Blythe or Barbie clothing. Do you know which sizes of bodies would be my options for either clothing option? Thank you much.
Monster High doesn't make extra hands, but their hands and forearms are easily swappable. Because they're monsters? Because they're the preferred base for many doll customizers? I dunno...
I am an Obitsu girl! I love playing with hybrids and have both. I am holding my Obitsu (one of them) she's the one with the hip joint as opposed to the bust and she moves much more than my made to move curvy Barbie who is in my other clammy little paw lol! But of course people who know me will say "you would say that!" Lol..yeah tad biased here! I have been in love with Obitsu for a long time and hybridise them with every head that fits lol. Fashion Royalty is my current favourite but I still love the original Obitsu head and action figure heads on Obitsu bodies. I probably have pictures of them all all over my Instagram lol! I have always found that a touch of nail varnish (acetone is the active ingredient) can help with loose joints. If you want a video Integrity Toys, I believe, does one on loose joints and the remedy. Of course you say that immediately after I wrote it - my Great age and senility makes me comment while it's in mind or forever hold my peace lol!
I have fallen in love with Obitsu... I have a bigger one and I am into customising dolls and I just love the Obitsu bodies. This tag through the head is barbaric... I really prefer Obitsu but I think I am hopelessly biased! She (Barbie) still has a strange body! I don't think Barbie is true to life whereas the Obitsu looks like the shape of an anatomical body...it's aesthetically pleasing too! Oh you guys have Obitsu... I mean the JunkieSpot...great I don't know if it helps me in the UK but I am wanting another one I want as close to the 1/6th as possible... this one you are speaking about would be accepted though... I just want heaps of dolls now that I have got started!
oh very nice video😀 think im going to get an obitsu for the choice of customisible parts...i only use as photography props so white body be easy to work with😀😋👋
I love all the new barbies!! I think the line is called Fashionistas :) So many great varieties! I hope the BJD realm does more and more varieties too :)
@@AsenvaBJD yeah I am hoping for more diversity across the board. I can be terribly fickle buying different sizes and types of dolls and bybridizing them. I think what I would like in dolls is more diversity in colour and shape and the fashionista went a good way in trying to achieve this. Now if we could see the same in the BJD world then I would probably buy more bigger dolls but at the moment you get the basic three colour choices and not even that in many and unless you are into buying the bigger sized dolls in vinyl and painting them the desired shade, you are stuck with these. I think it's about time doll makers realised that and made dolls to reflect it. Barbie and Blythe have embraced the curves and, according to the websites I shop on, these seem more popular than the ordinary dolls as they're perpetually sold out. The same goes for ethnic minority dolls which seem to be more popular too. I wish we lived in a world where we didn't still have to have these conversations.
@@Agraelish I think comparing them to Smartdolls would be another cool comparison. I just thought it was cool that the fashion doll industry was branching out and trying new things. 👍👍🥰
Nice review! I want to try to put barbie heads on some obitsu bodies, i love the articulation! Do you think that would be possible? If so, what size cm obitsu would you recommend? And where do you by them? I live in norway, so very new at this haha
Thanks for this! I have never owned a BJD and don't customize so don't I'll ever purchase one. I do have a Barbie MTM and I love her. It's super cool to see the research that Mattel did to really make the ultimate poseable ready to play or display doll. I would have loved if they sold these when we were children.
There are so many Barbies out there that I wish they had out when I was a kid :) Yeah she is a pretty cool piece and I love how they made her joints and such for such an affordable price :)
This was a fun comparison! Any ideas on what I should compare next?

Interesting! I've seen the Made to Move in stores but I've never owned one. Now if only they'd just put those joints on the fashionistas...
Amen! I love the fashionistas and would love to see them move even more. :)

You can swap heads! Just make sure you have the right skintone :)
They put barbies in the boxes like that because people like to steal things....it makes them too much of a hassle to try and steal
That totally makes sense :) They are just soooooo hard to open haha
@@AsenvaBJD i took an hour just to open it

other new body bel-eve doll
Oh cool I'll look at it!

I would probably not go with anything smaller than 25cm. I think babies are closest to the 27cm bodies ❤️👍

Oh that is good to hear another perspective
I got the newer gray/chubby doll for like 10 dollars I believe. Love her and she actually stands really well :) also love love love the Jem and the Holograms table
I love the variety that barbie has!! They are actually really good dolls :) it was fun reviewing it. Thanks! I love my comic table :)
where can i get a obitsu body
The Junky Spot sells them ♥️♥️♥️
AsenvaBJD but my grandad don't like to shop online so i can't get it i thought they had that in store
@@dollcraft8873 awwww sadly the only stores would be in Japan 😭 I don't think I've seen them at common stores in America. Sorry friend ☹️
it's ok thanks anyway

i know this comment is years late but which obitsu size is this? 27cm? 25?
That was great - thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you look at the bottom of the box for most Mattel dolls it will show you if you can switch it off
Thanks for that heads up :D
Made To Move can't even keep her arms side to side next to her torso. It's sort of ridiculous the limits they put on her.
It is different for sure but it was interesting to see that they made a "posable" doll :)
Old obitsu vs new barbi - ok... cheap mattel vs japanese doll industry... I haven't laughed like that for a long time
Hmm I think it was an interesting find. I think it's cool that fashion doll companies are branching out and trying to increase posability. 👍👍👍
@@AsenvaBJD mattel is a company that makes cheap, obsolete toys that sell for unreasonable prices
:) lol well they are mass produced so there isn’t too much to be expected for sure

Late but 27cm small bust fits most barbie clothes, medium bust works too but can be a bit of a stretch!
omg you need to do make up/hair tutorials you always look so put together.
Thanks XD I am actually going to start posting some on my Vlog Channel ruclips.net/user/Asenva09 I love doing makeup
I was checking on Obitsu dolls, but after this video I want this mode of barbie XD (never liked her face, but I can repaint it)
Apparently Barbie hands are removable too.
They did come off but they took a little umpf the get them off haha
Monster High doesn't make extra hands, but their hands and forearms are easily swappable. Because they're monsters? Because they're the preferred base for many doll customizers? I dunno...
I think they MH are great dolls too! 😁👍 I think a lot of people like them because they are affordable and fun to customize
