OK, so not all of my collection is small bodied--I do have some busty more-perfect-than-reality Barbies. I love the modern Barbie and the classic Barbies of the 60s and early 70s. I despise the Superstar Barbie of the late 70s and 80s. I have some of the Barbies with "closed mouth" smiles, one silkstone, an Irish Barbie (I want the Scottish Barbie and the Princess of England), an amazing pink robot-looking chick from the 80s, and a few others. I also have a few Barbie-sized Obitsus that I hand-rooted (hair) and -painted (faces.) They are treasures and I will keep them.
BTW I made and sold dolls for a few years while my daughter was small. It became too difficult keeping deadlines and shuttling to the post office. Now that my kiddo is older, I may start again. But I get too much satisfaction out of donating to charitable causes to worry about a business again.
I even have some guys: an Action Man from the UK, a Frank Sinatra (Ken), a Blaine (Ken from the 90s), and another Mattel guy that was the Dad in some family. I'd like to have a Ken from the 70s.
The deal is, these types Barbies and Kens are not my focus. I prefer to sew clothes and make homes for the smaller bodies, and it is fun that they can share clothes. But I also always have my doll radar on for any doll interest!
