The Doll

Doll FaceSide ViewBack View

Complicated hairstyles don't always translate well to the smaller doll scale, and this one is no exception. Without her tiara, her hair looks more than a little strange. Despite the odd finish on top of her head, I have to admit I'm very impressed that they managed to get that french twist in place. Her face paint is minimal and very stylized, with thick brows and eyelashes that turn up at the corner. The face mold is nicely done, with a lovely wide smile. Her jewelry is little silver studs, and a silver and gold ribbon choker that can't come off without removing her head.

This body mold presents a very slim silhouette and is quite poseable. Her knees have a reasonable range of motion. Her waist is a ball joint that bends nicely. Her arms have an interesting elbow that rotates a full 360 degrees! In most positions the arms have natural looking poses thanks to the marvelous job they did on her hands (see photo below). The torso also has a nicely molded collarbone which gives additional definition when wearing her shoulderless gown. I was disappointed when Galoob's next line of fashion dolls, the Spice Girls, didn't use these great molds, but they redeemed themselves by bringing them back into use for the Concert Collection dolls.
