I know the struggle of finding the right male doll body, if this one didn't have to be taller than that one, he has to be thin, he has to have some chunk, he has to have a tummy for crop tops, he has to have the right neck for the head. Alex has double shoulders where there are quite a few with just single ones.
And I get keeping some of the older Barbies, especially some TnT ones. A few of my gals have refused the upgrade because that's just who they are.
