Do you think that Barbie dolls with hard plastic legs and arms are better than those less articulating types?

Question

I remeber the ones that had the solid but less hard legs They seemed to be soft yet firm. It was later when I saw ones with bendable legs. They were limited in flexability. Now they have extreme flexability exposed joints with hard limbs. The softness of the legs os gone from that type. Only the heads are squishy soft. They just look bad to me. I do not recall seeing one Bratz doll with those type of arms or legs. Mattel made some with unjointed hard plastic legs. Mattel makes it difficult to tell which ones have bendable legs and straight ones. Some Princess Barbies and cheaper versions are not posable but you wouldn't know it because the long dresses cover the legs. Their feet have permanent shoes on. I guess that my mind pays too much attention to details. When pretending as a kid to be boyfriend and husband with my GI Joes and Barbies, I noticed how they felt in my hands. I like realistic characteristics in my toys then and now.

Answer 1

Strange question, but I think the ones that are somewhat squishy with somewhat bending capabilities are the best. Somewhere in the middle is better than extremes.
