    Actually, there are Barbies that have full articulation with their bodies. They are called Made To Move Barbies. You guys should purchase those dolls and maybe just switch the heads so the girls from the mpgis series can have full movement (*cough* *cough* trisha could need some bending!!) just a suggestion tho :)

      Sam and Mickey considered this idea for their channel, but unfortunately the Made To Move barbies have weak ankles, so it would be harder for them to stand up.

      Extra Credit Studios I have some favorite doll repainters like Dollightful and HeXtian. There are a bunch to look for! I would like if you had repainted dolls on MPGIS or maybe giving some makeovers to much neeeded characters like Trisha and Mackenzie (rerooting the hair would be highly suggested). For customs that use primarily Barbie dolls, I think SugarCharmShop is a good UA-camr to look for.
      Hell that would be a interesting story for MPGIS, looking at Cosplaying as a hobby :P

    For Brittnay, you could buy a doll of the same type (or a made to move one with full articulation) and switch the heads, so it has the new, stronger body but the same old head!

    To tighten Brit's joints, you should try sueding her! I'm not sure how you'd do it for Barbies, but I do it for my BJDs and it really helps!
    Also, the brand Obitsu makes perfect bodies if you need more articulation. They have male and female bodies that come with hand options!

    You can change out heads with either a hair dryer or boiling water. Boiling water will make the hair go straight, though, so just heating up their necks up at the head will make them easier to take off.

  • @judgeworks3687
    @judgeworks3687 5 років тому

    I'm curious about the specific process of making a foam molded body that covers the ball and socket armature. I don't quite understand how that works. Are you sculpting clay over the armature then casting it, scraping clay off the armature and then how do you attache the foam to the armature (ball and socket)? Also can you retrieve the armature from a puppet after you are done with shoot so you can reuse armature in another puppet?

  • @kelseymatarese
    @kelseymatarese 6 місяців тому

    Question: how do you loosen the armature if it has clay or foam covering it? I’m talking about the most advanced one. I’m guessing it’s a removable clay cover or would there be multiple versions of the character with the different tensions?

  • @xoxardnekoxo
    @xoxardnekoxo 6 років тому

    Cool! You guys should check out the Made to Move Barbies - they're completely articulated for a wider range of animations. The downside is all the visible joints, but with pants/long sleeve shirts it's not noticeable. As for Brittnay's loose hip, you might be able to tighten it back up a bit with some super glue or a rubber band. Head swaps are always favorable. :D The Phicen dolls are cool. I've heard of them and had seen some but I have no idea they were so intricate. Cool! Too bad they're so pricey!

  • @cinnisims8448
    @cinnisims8448 6 років тому

    If I am wrong, but I am going to assume that you guys have looked at the "Made to Move" dolls by Mattel for Barbie? The draw back I know about this doll is the original bodies couldn't hold her own weight, but the curvy's possibly could somewhat. I see an idea here, that if you guys were to decide swap out of some of MPGIS characters, that the feet do pull out that you could add a small screw to give them support they needed similar to the phicens dolls and even possibly still use the feet with maybe with a small hole attaching it?
