I found an Icy Blythe doll on Amazon with the 19 joints body. They are not very expensive. I really wanted to try a customization on different types of dolls. I had read somewhere that Basaak dolls have thinner plastic, so they are good for heavy modifications. I have never opened a Blythe, but I did notice while modifying my Basaak doll, there is not a thick plastic head. I could hold her head parts in the light and see the light through them. I can't say about the comparison, because I like my Blythes just fine the way they are. This Icy doll has amazing eye chips and colors. Her hair is thick and nice. Her jointed body is a bit loose. I put rubber bands in loose joints. Some say put putty inside joints. I haven't tried that but there is a demo on youtube I think that will show how. I don't know for sure why they are 19 joints. She has 2 ankle joints, making it possible for her to wear flat or high heel shoes. She has 2 knee joints. She has 4 joints at the thighs. She has 2 wrist joints, 2 elbow joints, 2 sets of joints at the shoulders. She has a joint at the waist, and can turn her head. I keep getting 18 joints. Her head does toggle a little for up and down motion. I have a jointed Blythe with the same body and her head doesn't move up and down. I think that is the type of adapter used to attach the head. It is a lot of mobility for posing dolls and making pictures of them. I didn't get the extra hands but the price justified it for me. I really don't like pulling off the doll hands. I think it will get loose over time and ruin the doll overall. I have made some pictures of my doll and added them for anyone interested in Icy dolls. She is a better quality doll than Basaak.
She wears Monster High sized shoes.
