>>8776662There is just something about an old school 80s, and 90s Barbie doll with rubber click knees that I love. The dolls felt nice and sturdy, and it really did feel like you were holding something special.
Let's just put it this way, I wouldn't trade an old school Totally hair Barbie for a MtM doll.
>damn extra articulation makes them more difficult to redressHow?
You lost me on that one. I'll find that re-dressing older dolls can be difficult if not dangerous when they have less articulation. Take this old school Tyco Prince Eric doll I found while thrifting for example. These doll have a reputation for losing their arms and legs. I was scared while putting his jacket on because the arms were so stiff yet old and fragile. If this dude had elbow articulation it would have been way easier to manipulate his arms into the jacket.
