PrettyTiny Film Company Pic-A-Week **2021**! (The End)

I honestly don't understand why they even continue making dolls with massively limited articulation after they've invented the "ne plus ultra of playline articulation" that is the M2M body (which does exist also in a curvy shape). I guess the M2M body must cost considerably more to produce, and I don't say they should put out every single doll on that body from now on, but they could at least use a body that is still articulated, like the one that you have rebodied Glorianna on. And they could have a like for little kids with the limited articulation body, because I imagine that does stand up better to actual child's play - but I don't think the Fashionista line is targeted mainly at the littlest fans of Barbie.

Fashionistas on the stiff stick bodies are almost like they were dress&head fashion packs (which is what many collectors are buying them for), and Mattel is trying to get more money for them by adding the crappily articulated body to serve as a mannequin. At one point Barbie had a line with fashion pack heads, I'd rather see the company going down that path and sell clothing and individual heads for base characters (the dolls of which would then have to be well-articulated and they should come with a neck peg that is easier to manage). All I see in these crappy bodies is the excess plastic that Mattel as a big company should really try to cut down on...

It's nice to see Glorianna being able to actually pose - she seems happy about the change as well!
