Obviously, the first thing you tend to notice about this doll is her hair. The bright lemon yellow color is the same shocking color the real life Vitamin C, styled straight with a slightly left of center part. Her hair is a great deal longer than the real person, coming almost to her waist, but it's nothing a pair of scissor can't fix. Blue eyes are accented by detailed brows and the slightest hint of brown eyeshadow. Her lips are a very pale mauve and are full without being pouty. Her nose is a very good sculpt- slightly broadened without appearing overly large. Something about her face paint gives her a slightly 'intense' look. All in all, a very nice job!


Interestingly enough, this doll hit the stores the same week as the long awaited Jewel Girl, and they feature the same molds- but in Vitamin C's case, the torso is solid, with no motion at all. However, she does have the same new slightly swiveling leg joint and more naturally arched foot. Fortunately, she can still wear the old shoe molds, and the newer ones as well. The arms are the lovely ballerina arms, with the gracefully separating fingers and visible fingernails. The torso, of course, is the most exciting part. It is very well detailed, and for the most part is far more realistic looking than any previous Mattel sculpts. My only real complaint is with her lower back- it arches in to an enormous degree- but when the doll is dressed it's not really noticable.
