Dolls are commonly made of plastic, and clothing or costume pieces are commonly polyester.

Reported weights in these listings range from about 0.5 pounds up to 1.21 pounds — most dolls fall roughly between half a pound and just over a pound.

Several lines include swappable heads or a special head connector, and some items are marketed with universal‑fit fashions so heads and clothing can be swapped and mixed across compatible doll bodies.

Articulated bodies (Made‑to‑Move and other ultra‑posable dolls) are designed for posing and photographing; some collectible dolls include a doll stand. Listings also note that many dolls cannot stand on their own.

Several lines include multiple clothing pieces, shoes, and styling accessories; some specifically mention universal‑fit or stretchable wardrobe pieces intended to mix and match across Barbie bodies.
