Because I Do Collect Other Dolls and Action Figures ....
Lately, my posts have been Barbie, Barbie, Barbie. Mattel, Mattel, Mattel,
Yes, half my collection is by Mattel. Roughly. But that doesn't mean that they need to have the lion's share of my posts. So I present this fashion doll by Jakks Pacific, Taylor Swift, modeled after the young country music singer.
And no, I do not follow Ms. Swift's music any more than I did the Cheetah Girls. I just saw a new doll series. And the outfit and guitar looked cute. And she was on sale last year ....
I only have one Jakks Pacific doll (maybe two) and I like the body sculpt a great deal (I think they are both GIRL Force). I was never that crazy about the head molds, but the bodies were pretty good. I don't think I could buy a Taylor Swift doll myself, though.... Thanks for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteThe G.I.R.L. Force Jakks dolls were much nicer than the Taylor Swift doll. Their faces were a little um hard? but they had good model bodies.
ReplyDeleteAlas though the articulation for those dolls -- only one of mine can actually sit -- and she sits with her legs wide open. Unless I do an exercise class photo, Ms. Jaz will be posed standing LOL)
