The New Clone on the Block
Xianxian Princess dolls may not be cloning Barbie, but they do appeal to the adult Barbie collectors. Considered as an IT doll clone, they offer the FR vibe (minus the fashion sense), but come at playline Barbie prices. (Note: Prices may have gone up since I first ordered but there are still other sellers/apps offering at lower prices.)
The 1st doll I got (above) including the two fashion sets shown (sold separately; the hat came with the swimsuit set but the wedge shoes are from my collection) costs less than the discounted Barbie Looks dolls (the ones with the pastel 90s looks)! The Barbie Looks doll came with just one meh look.
The Xianxian Princess dolls only come in two skin tones and I won't be expecting more. There's another clone doll (Mengf) that offers more skin tones but I haven't tried them. I tried another unknown clone doll body and I had a problem color-matching it with Barbie heads. That failure kept me from trying Mengf specially since Mengf doll bodies cost at least twice as much as Xianxian dolls and even that unknown doll body. At least, Xianxian comes with its own head, in case none of the Barbies match.
