Good place to find bootleg/knockoff BarbieS?

Postby Lovelyfashiondoll180 » Thu Apr 25, 2019 6:26 pm

I normally buy the "knockoff" barbies because they use the 90s-00s bodies rather than the barbie bodies that are being produced now cause i like the articulation and body sculpt. Since my Local goldmine of knockoffs closed down Does anyone know a good place to find knock off barbie?

Big Lots, The 99 Cent Store, and Dollar Tree get knock-offs. Some craft stores might have the dolls used for crochet clothes.

Also, Family Dollar and Dollar General. (These aren't 'everything's a $1 stores' but are discount outlet stores.)

I also see some knockoff dolls at Walgreen's. :)

It'll be worth your time to hit thrift stores and garage sales. You'll find tons of the bodies you want because Matel overproduced the "collector" dolls at that time.

AliExpress has a ton of knockoffs and since the dolls are sold nude you can check the articulation visually before you buy. The quality's not bad, either; not the best but by far not the worst.

Some of the clones look like they have a joint but it doesn't move, it's just where the pieces were put together. The clone Kens I have can't twist their waists.
