Red Allan and Wolf Barbie
I want to see if this photo will look better here than it does on The Vinyl Lounge:

Dolls Received Friday, December 19, 2008
Here are the photos of the five dolls I received yesterday:
The Southwest Stewardess doll from Daron:
The AKA Centennial Barbie from Mattel:
Sunset Edition Emerald from YNU Group:
Sunset Edition Opal with Curly Wig from YNU Group:
Sunset Edition Rosa from YNU Group:
The AKA Centennial Barbie is breathtakingly beautiful; same head mold as the Jazz Diva Barbie, but with a lighter complexion, streaked hair, and less dramatic make-up. I could have done without the glitter on her eyelids and mouth, but she's so exquisitely rendered. Mattel at their best.
The Daron stewardess doll reminds me of Maddie Mod dolls from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Round-faced, dimple-cheeked cute doll. Her outfit is nicely tailored. She seems a decent quality doll. Still ... I like her face. I am glad to have her.
The Mixis dolls. Well I can scarcely speak glowingly enough about the Mixis dolls. Emerald and Rosa resemble the Limited Edition Emerald and Rosa that I have. But the Sunset Opal with Cap wig -- wow! This version of Opal lights up.
First, the cap wig seems to be a permanently attached wig rather than the doll having a rooted scalp. I prefer rooted hair (from scalp) dolls, but the wig here doesn't scream, wig, so it's okay. Then the lighter blonde color and the frizzier, coarser/curly hair with the center part become this doll's face more than the straight-haired version. And the makeup on this Opal seems sharper, more distinct.
All in all, five new treasures in the DAF community.
