Here we are on the final head-swapping review of the series! Or at least that's what I thought. As a few of you mentioned in the comments, Mattel has recently come out with their new Barbie Basics line, and these dolls have...wait for it...swappable heads! They also have Made to Move bodies. Eee! I immediately bought all five dolls (gulp) and am eager to take a closer look at them. However, the five Basics dolls don't share a common skin tone, so there's not a lot of head-swapping that can happen, yet. Fortunately, Mattel also announced three You Create kits to accompany the Basics dolls. These kits have additional heads, bodies, wigs (!), and fashions, which I suspect will add to the fun considerably. It all reminds me a bit of Monster High's Create-a-Monster kits from 2012...although I hope the quality is better. Anyway, my plan is to wait until I have at least one You Create kit before I write a review, and while the kits can be pre-ordered now, they won't arrive until April.
That's all very exciting to me, and I can hardly wait for April, but I'm also super-excited about the dolls in this review. Today we're going back in time to look at a much earlier head-swapping doll from Mattel: My Scene Barbie from 2005:
