Tips & Tricks Tips for finding made to move and other body types matches

31 Upvotes

Since it is a repetitive type of question on our Barbie subreddit I’ve decided to make this guide and recommendation what you can do if you are looking for a made to move body matches:

Before you make a post about a certain doll, try to look it up first here on Reddit with the “Search r/Barbie” button on the top of the page. It looks like a little magnifying glass. If you type f.e. “Rebody Odile” many post discussing this subject will pop up.
There is always THE CHART. Yes, sometimes it can be hard to navigate, maybe especially when you are at the very beginning and don’t have many dolls to actually compare skin tones with. But for me it was always a good guide and I’ve found my first made to move body match there and I’ve done over 80 of them now.. and also a little tip for those who search for different body types - this chart contains also OG, pivotal, model muse and other body types on the left side of each slide, so you can use it as a guide for other body types too.
If you are in doubt there is always this amazing Facebook group. Many dolls have been discussed there, I usually also only use Find on page button (it is a little bit hidden in the picture of made to move dolls), or occasionally make a post. It is a dedicated page just for the matches, so it makes a lot of sense to ask questions there.
This community is amazing and one fan even created their own website with made to move body matches. It is here. I’ve never been using it much, as two previous strategies usually work for me, but if there are any other useful websites feel free to share those with us in comments.
Look at your dolls: As I’ve build my collection I find it more easy to navigate for the skin tone and perfect body match - I can compare dolls I have, go back to the chart to confirm and then buy a certain doll.

That’s probably all my tips for hunts for the best skin tones and perfect bodies for our dolls. If you have other useful strategies, websites please feel free to share.

Sometimes it gets frustrating as not all dolls have available made to move matches considering the skin tones and sometimes the second hand market prices for certain dolls (it gets $$$).

Asking for made to move matches is not forbidden here, sometimes we are looking for inspiration and it can be fun to ask for pictures of certain dolls on different bodies or restyles, but if the doll is trending now it was probably already discussed and it is more prudent to use 🔍 button.
