I think that because dark skin dolls arent as prolific, when I do come across a photo I glomp onto it checking out every detail possible.

I hesitated to buy Kiyoni Brown and Tre when they were released -- considered them stereotypical, but in reality, the Hip-Hop culture exists and is probably here to stay. I wound up buying them on the secondary market a few years after the line was discontinued. Hindsight is always 20:20. Milan's fashions are extremely nice, but as Vanessa pointed out, they will only fit the ModelMuse and similar super-thin bodies.<br /><br />I don't know most of the non-black sculpt names, Vanessa. Thank you for confirming Milan Barbie is the Lara sculpt D7ana. Best probably was not inspired by KB, but the similarities do exist.<br /><br />Limbe Dolls and Pam - thank you for your comments. I agree the makeup is similar between these two as well as the other similarities I pointed out. <br /><br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-81292933310165308542012-09-09T14:48:37.241-05:002012-09-09T14:48:37.241-05:00Wow I love the comparison between two dolls,well w...Wow I love the comparison between two dolls,well written as always!!!:)<br /><br />Although I have none of them,but I love the Milan Barbie very much from your pics,her accessories are so cool!;)<br /><br />You are wonderful,Debbie!!!!:D :DPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04713463780706289845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-39173385500277628122012-09-08T19:36:08.789-05:002012-09-08T19:36:08.789-05:00I have the Milan Barbie - yes, she has the Lara sc...I have the Milan Barbie - yes, she has the Lara sculpt. Kiyoni Brown has a different sculpt - much bigger head as you point out and closed mouth. Both dolls are lovely. I don't have the Kiyoni shown - this one is the Sporty Kiyoni; I have the Street Kiyoni and the Denim & Diamonds Kiyoni. <br /><br />Thanks for posting about these two dolls, Debbie!

But with Mattel still stuck on MM bodies, they would still be making that fabulous clothes too small for the articulated bodies and we would again be frustrated. By the way, did you see my post from yesterday on the Ninimomo dolls? I now have a newfound respect for those MM bodies. I was about to sell all of mines, but I think I will keep them now.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-44263518651390455642012-09-08T07:04:41.342-05:002012-09-08T07:04:41.342-05:00I really like the complexions of both these dolls....I really like the complexions of both these dolls. It is a pretty red/brown color. I had the Kiyoni and kept her around a long time before deciding to sell her. I still am not sure I did the right thing! I always wanted the On Location Milan Barbie! I like her face screening and her fashions are KILLER! I alway see some of the items from this set on someone's Flickr page of blog! Why can't Mattel do more things like this? When I saw your post I did see the simularities. Thanks for your post! Ms. Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742194324517520395noreply@blogger.com
