Another (BETTER) Poseable Body for American Girl Dolls!

If you missed my first attempt ad putting an American Girl doll head on a body that has better range of motion, you can find that link here: • A POSEABLE American Gi...
But if you want to see that same body in a side by side (by side) comparison with ANOTHER poseable body, this is the video for you. I'll show you three dolls all attempting the same poses so you can see the pros and cons of each one. Bonus? If you're unsure of how to remove your American Girl's head, or your Our Generation head, OR how to put your AG head on an OG body, I did a better job of capturing that on film this time around.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy this video, and I appreciate you spending some time with me today!

Awesome work. Hopefully the AG company will make a few for us to purchase. It would be great if they were articulated. All these videos will catch the algorithm's attention. You shared your birthday with us and we appreciate it so much.

Aw, thank you! I would LOVE for AG to make some articulated dolls - not to switch over completely, just to give us a few options if we want more natural posing possibilities :)

Hi Kristie, Happy Birthday! This was a fun demonstration. Some very creative options for photography for sure. I have actually found OG dolls like these at my local thrift stores. I may consider picking one up to play around with. Your reaction when you first bent the legs of the OG doll was hilarious. 🤪😂. I do love that last pose with Gabriella reading on the floor. Adorable. Thanks for your great and practical ideas!

Happy belated birthday! I have steered away from the OG "flexi body" because of how odd it looks when bent, but with the clothes you chose it makes it worthwhile to have a few of those bodies to use. You had me laughing right along with you with your reaction when you first bent the OG doll leg and elbow. And your commentary about the dolls on the toilet made me outright snort-laugh. And I must say Wow your Gabriella is gorgeous.

@cassiemadison4291 10 күн бұрын

I love seeing the different bodies and how they pose. I would be interested in seeing a video in the future on how each body holds up. I am curious because I have had a doll with the limbs like the ballerina body but over time they became loose. As well as I have a my life as doll with possible limbs but they are made of wire and snap after a while.

@agtakesover 10 күн бұрын

I will definitely keep you all updated. I plan on using and bending these bodies a lot, so if I break one, you'll know. Also, tbh if it breaks after two years I will absolutely consider it worth it. Now...the harder plastic jointed ballerina doll - that one I *did* feel more nervous about breaking. Plus she was shiny. Plus she is harder to find. Plus less range of motion? No thanks. This one is the clear winner for me.

@onlyalisaawilliams 11 күн бұрын

Excellent video.. I think the OG body is the best , just slip on loose jeans/pants , and especially baggy sweatpants is great . I have a thrifty OG doll, and I didn’t know they bend , I checked , and mine does. I’m gonna sacrifice her for photos … When you’re able I’d like to see the “Mr.Super clear” results , because I never considered that . I collect Blythe dolls, and some of their face molds are “hard-extremely shiny hard plastic” I can’t stand . I’ve always used “Krylon clear Matte Finish”, it’s less expensive, and if it’s sprayed evenly it gives a beautiful matte finish, shine all gone .

@agtakesover 10 күн бұрын

I've never used MSC or the Krylon you mentioned on a doll. It makes me a bit nervous. But I did buy a white doll with the same kind of bendy body as the Rashida doll, so now I'll probably mainly use that one for the fair-skinned doll heads :)

This was a fun video! What better way to spend your birthday morning other than to make doll videos lol. I was cracking up when you said she’s peeing herself and the floor 😂😂. I still can’t believe I have the same doll in my attic. Since my dolls, smoke and drink booze I definitely need to have a doll (maybe dolls) that can work with those types of poses. I like the idea of being able to set up different poses. Thanks for this video 😊

@djg5950 11 күн бұрын

Interesting. I agree that the one that has totally bendable knees and elbows is the best. As you stated you can work around the poses. Either arrange their hair or place an object in front of them to cover "the weirdness" of the joints. Besides kneeling (looks great) my biggest dislike about AG dolls is that they can't sit (bend their knees). I had to tie my granny AG doll (custom) on that toilet to get a more natural pose and so she didn't slide off. She still looks a little stiff. As far as outfits how about tights and a longer skirt that would hide their knee joint when sitting or kneeling down ? Very nice video; full of information and opens the possibility for me to make photos with more natural poses. Thank you.

Someone commented in the live chat that they had a doll like that pose like she was kneeling before the toilet (to vomit) and that made me think of so many things - pregnancy results, food poisoning, a few too many drinks, etc. And that's just one very specific pose with one very specific prop.

They might, since that piece was snugly in the OG doll's head. I imagine it won't work on the AG dolls because the hole in their head is larger and that plastic part from the OG body won't be SNUGLY fitted in the AG head.

Nothing wrong with that. It's not like I stare at all my AG dolls and feel disappointed. And I wouldn't want AG to SWITCH to articulated bodies. But I *would* like for them to create a few articulated bodies, because I'd buy dolls in different skin tones and head swap at my convenience. I think I'm excited about the *options* this gives me for the times when I want a certain kind of photo shoot or scene.
