Hello everyone! I promised for a long time and here it is finally - a review of the super-articulated body MENGF with Ali.
My body is a Super White skintone. I planned for the head IT Plum Powers a Cream skintone. On the Internet, they claimed that they were the same tone, but they were not. There is a different tone, so after the head arrived, the plans changed, but more on that later.
I'll start with the set. I bought the set:
1) Body with hinged heel feet
2) Additional hinged heel feet
3) 2 anchor attachments of different sizes 👇
At the time of purchase, the cost was $59.79, in hryvnias - 2533 UAH.

Stands are not included. For the review, I got my stands from Integrity Toys.
Separately bought a pack of gesture brushes and flat feet 👇
At the time of purchase $5.48, in hryvnias - 232 UAH.
This is my first MENGF body. I haven't bought any of the previous versions before because, firstly, there was no need (I have Barbie on my bodies, IT on mine). And secondly, I still prefer the originals.
However, when this hybrid (as I call it) of yoga and Fashion Royalty appeared, I started to think that I really wanted to test it. For a long time there was no reason to buy it, until the head from IT - Plum Powers turned up. Her native Industry body did not fit my preferences, so I decided that this was a chance to test MENGF. As I wrote above, in the end it did not fit the skin tone and plans changed. Lady Tremaine from Mattel was purchased for the MENGF body, which was a perfect match for the skin tone.
Back to the body. The main thing I want to say is that this is a PERFECT body for those who like the slim Integrity bodies, but want more mobility ❤️
I have no complaints about the quality of the body. It doesn't creak, it doesn't fall apart. The seams are perfect. I would say that sometimes even Integrity bodies have much worse seams.
However, from my point of view, there are still disadvantages. I will say this right away:
1) the native clawed brushes look like rakes (I personally don't like them. You can buy clawed ones that are more successful, but expensive). The additional non-claw ones have a different tone, the pin holds worse (falls out) and as a casting they lose to the body.
2) the skin tones don't quite match IT. There are more similarities with Barbie.
Inscription: 2021 MENGF. + Chinese abracadarbra.
The anchor thread is protected by a silicone cap.
Native claw brushes, which I don't like because of the splayed fingers.
The appearance of the knee and elbow joints will take some getting used to. They are different from FR. For myself, I chose the option of forming a wardrobe taking into account the fact that these parts of the doll will be covered more often.
I remind you that these are heeled feet with a hinge, so if you put your feet in a flat position, the toes will be slightly raised up.
Let's move on to the highlight of this body - mobility. Next, there will be a comparison with the FR body from IT.
Possibilities of the chest hinge 👇
The legs rotate around their axis at the hips.
Lower limb replacement at the knees is quite easy. You need to apply force, but everything is within reasonable limits. No warm-up is required.
There are marks inside - L(eft), R(ight).
For posing in heels, this version of the legs will be more successful. Although I can't say that I don't like the previous one. Without the shoes in the photo, I would still use the previous one.
Let's move on to the anchor. There are 2 types in the set - thin and wide.
I don't know which dolls the thin one is designed for. If you know, write in the comments.
For Barbie and Integrity, you need a wide one.
Consider this when buying bodies with less equipment!
This is what the thread looks like. The anchor head screws on very easily. The quality and convenience even surprised me.
Thin nozzle 👇
And wide 👇 That's exactly what Barbie and IT need.
It's the same width as a tablet in IT bodies 👇
Body comparison between MENGF and Fashion Royalty from Integrity Toys.
The heel of the FR is slightly longer than the IT.
The heel of the MENGF is slightly wider.
Despite this difference, FR and IT shoes still fit the MENGF foot. I checked (although at first I didn’t believe it and even managed to get upset).
*and Oli Kushnir’s shoes also fit 😉
Additional set of non-claw brushes and flat feet. PURCHASED SEPARATELY.
I bought this particular set because:
1) it's much cheaper as a set
2) I needed non-claw brushes for a lady 50+
3) non-claw brushes are cheaper.

Separately I will attach a link to claw brushes, they are cuter. But there the price of one pair like this set is expensive for 1 pair.
So, the set includes feet and 8 brushes.
The brushes disappointed me a little. Firstly, without a variety of colors, only a pin that slides into the hand.
And secondly, they don't hold well, you can lose them on the street.
Of course, this is easily solved by wrapping cling film around the mount before inserting it into your hand. But I would like it without additional manipulations.
Feet. They turned out to be a surprise. The flat pins are different from the ones on my family. I couldn’t get them on without heating. I haven’t tried heating yet. I’m still considering the option of sawing the pin down to the size of my family’s.
In the photo, MENGF has a flat and a heeled foot.
Comparison of the MENGF flat foot with the Integrity Toys FR flat foot 👇 The MENGF is a little shorter. So there will be no problems with FR shoes either.
Packaging. The body came in a branded package, wrapped in a special bubble. + a postal package on top.
I'll show you a doll that was planned for the MENGF body, but it didn't fit. Suddenly this information will come in handy.
Flame on the MENGF body with a different tone 👇
She received the FR body in the Japan skintone, which was used in the review for comparison. The old Cream skintone matched the new Japan perfectly. Below is the Plum on the FR body without the variegated tone.
And Lady Tremaine will receive the MENGF body 👇 She hasn't had time to hybridize yet, so more to come...
Thank you all for your attention. I hope you found it useful 😉
I will add all the links where I bought to my tg channel: 👉 t.me 👈
