>>6660776>Also, in their site there are a lot of stucked old non articulated dolls that were US$100,00 and are now at discounts, like Mutya, Venetian Muse, Sorcha, Luciana, Lavender Luxe.Errr jumping in...
Sorcha isn't on sale, Non-Silkstone Luciana is articulated and not on sale, Silkstone Luciana isn't on sale, Lavender Luxe, while on sale at one point, is no longer available and therefore not "stucked." Same with Mutya, on sale at some point, but not "stucked." Same for Venetian Muse, although that doll is articulated!
Although I am a bit confused because you said, assuming it was you responding to them earlier:
>For the Silkstones line it would seem that a stiff retro body would make sense,Yet only one of the dolls you listed which were actually non-articulated wasn't a Silkstone. I thought non-articulation was sensible for Silkstone?
Are there any articulated dolls actively on sale? Yep! A bunch in fact, since Barbie on the Signature side is now more articulated than not. Almost all the active dolls on the site right now are on sale, and almost all recent inactive dolls were on sale at some point before selling out. Barbie as a whole, articulated or not, does not sell exceptionally well anymore with rare exceptions.
The entire articulated collector dolls selling better than non-articulated collector dolls is incorrect. Look how many collector Barbies sold out without ever going to discount in the past, which were not articulated. It's not about articulation vs non-articulation. It's about the overall decline of the Barbie brand as a whole. Mattel has been alienating collectors for years, first with dwindling Barbie Membership perks, absolutely abysmal quality control, and a hard stance towards social media which made a lot of collectors--who are often bloggers in one form or another--pissed enough to minimize their Barbie purchases.
