Old Barbie/Ken Bodies and Heads!

Hey Gang!

None of the playline  male dolls from 2017( see below) or 2016  are as nice as the 
older versions of Ken.  Many of the dolls from the 70's on had "real" hair and almost
all had click knees.  I was coming to expect click knee from Mattel.  That is what 
made them better that the knock off/cheap dolls!

Ken from 2016

I would have expected "real" hair and articulation on the  Batman, Superman and
Star Trek dolls!  But Nope!

Well thank goodness Uhura got real hair!  More on her later!  Were Hunger Games 
and Divergent the last of the "real" hair and articulated doll we can expect for Mattel? 
OK, here is where everyone gasps!

I have been stocking up on articulated bodies for a while! Their price is slowly 
rising! So with none of the Ken dolls this year and last year have articulation
(or click knees) or "real" hair, are older dolls with those features more valuable? 
Have you too noticed issues with the new bodies that should not have passed 
Quality Control?  Hmmmm!  You tell me what you think in the comments and the
poll!


OK, Thanks For Looking!
