I’ve loved Alabama ever since I got her about 7 years ago. However, she has always seemed too large to be a truly 1:6 scale kid to me. Also, while I love her headsculpt, her porcelain lower limbs and wired armature really limited her poseability. I finally transferred her head onto an action figure body to general success.
She was about 10″ tall on her original body [left], which is about 5′ in real life. I moved her onto a Redman Toys kid body that I had previously cut down. She’s about 9″ tall, or 4′ in real life. Better.I redressed her in some Mattel Creatable World clothes, though I had to cut down the pants a lot. Her head looks a little too big, especially because her feet are so small, but I can live with the proportions. Guess how I stuck her head on? Well, there was a neck socket, so I filled it with a silicone earplug and stuck her head on it. When the earplug solidified, the connection was complete.
