The Doll

Doll Face

Hasbro did an astounding job with the face mold here. It can be really difficult to get a face that is both true to life and attractive on this scale, but this doll has both. Not only is there a great resemblance to Natalie Portman even with the over-the-top movie face styling, but it is really beautiful and just a trace wistful looking. Warning for customizers: that's white plastic on the head mold and not face paint. *sigh*

As far as body molds go, Hasbro has managed to pick up some of the best and the worst
trait of other fashion dolls. When did those hideous white molded undies become an industry
standard? Her knees have four positions (maximum shown above center) and her bust while petite
*guess George still doesn't want his princesses to have boobs* is well shaped and anatomically
accurate. Arms have a swivel joint and are molded slightly bent at the elbows. Her hair is twisted into
five strands and held in place by several tons of hairspray.

Doll Foot

If you're hoping to redress this doll, keep in mind that her feet are posed with a rather extreme heel, so she
can't wear any shoes besides her own. Even the B-girl's new t-straps aren't skimpy or stretchy enough
to allow them to slide on. Shoe packs, anyone? The good news is, she can trade clothes easily enough with
the Generation Girls or Teen Skipper (although why she'd /want/ to is another matter).

Quality Control Problems?

Quality control was apparently sleeping when this doll came through the line. If you look closely at the scan
above, you'll note that her leg is cut at an angle, which causes her right leg to be noticibly longer.
