The Doll

Doll Face

The face mold here is very simple and tries to evoke Bettie rather than duplicate her. This works well, especially since the big, pouty dark red lips and black beauty mark do a great job of adding the details needed to make the connection. Her eyes really draw attention with their light-and-dark blue irises, stark brown eyeliner, and shiny silver shadow. There is also minimal blush. The hair is true to Bettie- long, thick black with a slight curl and short bangs.

Bettie sports the Candi body, one of the many things that caused collectors to go crazy over Candi. She has proportions very similar to Barbies, but with a lot of extra touches that are reminiscent of vintage Mattel. Her legs have an astounding five positions, as shown above. Her arms are very graceful and her fingers are separated in two different places. I personally think her bustline is a bit more unnatural looking than the B-girl's, although she does sport a nice cleavage. She also has a great molded collarbone. She has a lovely soft pink skin tone. Best of all, the similarity to the B-girl lets them switch clothes and shoes with ease.
