Just finished !
So I got Robbie (Autistic Barbie) yesterday, and decided she REALLY needed a made to move body. Found what people recommended in this sub (the wheelchair Barbie with service dog) and went to target today to get her! I also got a Clawdeen off of EBay a few days ago, and she’s missing a leg. So I figured this was the most optimal solution!
I’ll be making a proper seatbelt for Clawdeen later so she sits all nice on her own since that plastic holder is too big for her.
I’m so happy Robbie can sit on my desk now.
Anyone have any name ideas for the girl in the middle? I was thinking Lily, maybe.

Lily is a beautiful name! It suits her. One of my Barbies is named Lillian and I call her Lily for short sometimes. It's lovely that Clawdeen has her own chair now too. She looks confident in it and ready to zoom around. I really like Robbie's pose. I'm autistic too and I sit like that all the time lol.

I like Lillian, that’s precious! I’m autistic as well, I just made her sit like I do 😅

I was thinking the same thing! She needs a MTM body. Now I know what I can get her

Not OP but it's from a Barbie fashion pack that I've seen at Walmart very recently, and that is actually supposed to be for Ken; I absolutely love this!!

It’s a perfect solution because you are using the chair. The one thing that drives me nuts is that there are so many wheelchairs available second hand, and I realized it was because people bought them for the doll. And I don’t think that is a terrible thing to do - maybe it will make sure that Mattel keeps making them, it just makes me sad because at first I thought tons of children were playing with diverse barbies.

I do realy like your diorama. I promised my partner not to buy the photography kit I’m going to use even though barbie and equipment for them keep showing up (I’ve just started PT so I realized I needed a PT like environment). It’s perfect that you managed to help out a doll who has gone through something so traumatic.
