>>5825334>One doll with a mushed face can't speak for the whole line.With Mattel, it's not just "one doll with a mushed face." The recent highly publicized Misty Copeland ballet Barbies are rife with poor production--huge seams, deformed joints, cracked legs, uneven plastic varnish, leaking glue, etc. And with every collector Barbie comes complaints the same type of production problems. Doll Genie has, on multiple occasions, refunded all buyers and refused to sell certain Barbies because Mattel won't do anything about the constant and consistent low quality.
The reason the arm looks fucked up is the angle. Licca dolls do not have articulated limbs, but have wire running through them so you can bend them like old Barbie dolls. Some of the dolls arms are molded in an attempt to mimic a real arm, instead of being a straight line. You don't have to like that articulation, or that style of arm, but it's not the same type of error as Mattel's constant Barbie fuck ups. And does this mean Licca dolls are never fucked up? No, I've known people who got dolls with arms or legs that weren't bending properly due to the wire not being in the right spot.
But as you say 'One doll with a mushed face can't speak for the whole line,' one doll with a crap photograph or articulation you personally don't like doesn't speak for a whole line, either.
