It certainly would! In my experience so far, action figure types tend to be just a little bulkier than Ken-scale, but sometimes also a smidge shorter... but depending on the clothes item that can still work out. I'm still building on the Obitsu part of my collection (they have SO MANY variations!), but so far my collection includes:
Barbie - I had an old pile of very played with and stained twist-waist barbies (and a couple Kens, and a Skipper, and a Kevin (I think, the Skipper sized male), and even a couple of the babies) found in the back storage room here. They've mostly been used as a source of heads for more poseable bodies, or designated as sewing models. One of my named girls (Alya) has a Barbie Fashionista body with a head from an older Barbie. I also have four more female Fashionsta bodies in different skin tones, because I kept grabbing them when they had them at a Family Dollar for $8-10 depending on sales. And a single male Fashionista I bought primarily to use the body for a sewing model and the head ended up being used for Spider (on a Liv body, see below)...
BBC/Worldwide Limited - Another of my named girls (Magic) used to be a 1/6 scale fig that was a Dr. Who chara (I only watched it as a kid, so I don't really know who this was except that she's a very nicely done AA female that had apparently had a hack-job to sculpted hair. I'm plotting wig-making and am still tweeking her faceup and pondering how to conceal/repair an odd/problematic area on her forehead). She's a bit shorter than most of the others, and very nicely poseable, but Barbie clothes always tend to run baggy on her.
BBI/Blue Box - Blue Box male (Sirius) currently waiting on neck piece and head. I've managed to get Ken pants on him. I think they also make Cy-Girl... I have one of those so far (Angela). Barbie clothes tend to be too small for her, but Ken clothes or those for Liv male fit so far.
Liv - Two of my named girls (Hermione and Denia) have Liv bodies, and one of the guys (Spider), plus I still have one 'spare' Liv in my pile of bodies to ooak. In the cases of the named ones I've popped the original heads off in favor of kitbashing Barbie heads on instead. (Denia is actually the little old lady of the bunch, thanks to some fun with a dremel...). I love the poseability on these when I can get my hands on them. Shame they're not being made any more...
Obitsu - Just got one of the regular males (for Regulus), waiting on head and will have to do faceup and all that stuff. Also have a slim male (Dynamo), and am planning on others eventually so I'll have one body with each variation on the extender pieces around when I want to sew, without having to fiddle with bits. I have one 27cm soft bust female (Rydia), but by the time I decided who she was going to be I managed to misplace the right neck peg, so her head's kind of sitting there waiting. XD It'll turn up soon... I also have a 21cm male that remains nameless/'unclaimed' at this time.
Phicen - I picked up a secondhand Phicen Seamless here that I initially thought I'd be using for Rydia, only to have it claimed by Ruby instead... and having Rydia surprise me and claim an obitsu I had laying around instead. I finally have a head on that one, and feet, and will be looking into rooting hair soon.
Volks - I have a 21cm volks I got secondhand, nice tan color and unusually large breasted for someone that tiny. As yet unclaimed/unnamed.
And then there's Toni the Giantess, as I mentioned. And a jointed barbie pony that I'm plotting to flock. And a scattering of 1/6 scale Star Wars figures.
Oh, by the by, I'm Stacy... tho I more commonly just get called 'The Mad Scientist'. Possibly because of tendency to ooak every doll I actually plan to keep, among other experiments.
... or maybe it's my tendency to ramble inanely about my projects...
I thought I was the only one! It is so nice to meet you!
