Do You Like Freckled Faces?

Frannie of Thrift Store Dolls recently submitted a post about a freckle-faced Bratz doll. She - Frannie, not the Bratz doll Rina - inspired this post about some of the freckle-faced DAFs here in East Philly.
Usually, Mattel's frecked-faced dolls are children. Tommy and Kelly. Occasionally, you will find an adult doll with freckles like One Modern Ken, several of the Fashion Fever dolls (Gillian, Drew, etc.)

I am posting photos of two freckle-faced characters. The young lady on the left is the AA version of Skipper from the Walmart Barbie and Skipper Pajama Fun Tote set; the gentleman on the right is one of the Power Team members. Check how his freckles extend beyond his nose to his entire face.


Do you have any favorite freckle-faced dolls or action figures?

It depends, lol, usually I go for beauty marks, lol. I do remember the Midge (with the painted blue bikini) was gorgeous though...I think I had her, lol.

Silent G said...

Oh I definitely have several freckle faced ladies... OK, moreso just one... Gillian... just several of her :p

I have 5 of the original Gillian, then 5 of the custom TTL sculpt I made into my "Un-Babsified" Gillians, and now I have recently purchased 2 of the Barbie Basics Series 2 #14 girls of whom shall soon get a repaint into another rendition of Gillian :)

Can we say obsession? :p

I love freckle faced dolls. It makes them stand out from the other dolls. I have several dolls with freckles.

Thanks for the mention!! I am going to be on the look-out for some other freckled face dolls and action figures. Have never seen the Ken that you mentioned.

Hi, M.J. Beauty marks are interesting, too. (Have to think if I have any dolls with that feature - years ago, I had a TNT Stacey who I think did ....) Midge, I have ... an old one. Oh and some of the more recent Midges and Divas have freckles. Thanks for reminding me of them.

Hi, Silent G! I was thinking of your Gillians, lol. Would you mind if I added a link to them or would you like to add a link back here to them? They look great - especially on their NEW, poseable bodies!

Hi, Dollz4Moi! Freckles do make a figure look different. If you'd like to share any links to your freckled dolls, I'll do another post showing those links ;-)

Hi, Frannie! Your article inspired this one so I had to share a link ;-)

It's fun to find dolls with specific characteristics. Reminds me of how different our figures can be ;-D

Silent G said...

Hi D7ana,

You are more than welcome to post some links to whatever pics of Gillian you would like to show :)

I hope to have pics of the latest version of her later this week :)

Thanks for the permission, Will! Working on a follow-up post that will include that link ;-D

Thanks for visiting, Lucie! Fee (for Felicity, that's my revised name for that Skipper ;-D ) appreciates the notice. Thanks for the kind comment about this blog, too.

The Free Library here is not allowing me access to your blog, but I look forward to seeing it. I am adding your URL to my blog list ;-)

Oh Frannie, the male figure shown is a Power Team figure by M & C Toys. He isn't a Ken. (Although he's a gentleman, too, I think.)

I didn't have a chance to add the Daywear 1 Modern Circle Ken to this post. Now he is a freckled Ken.

Heeeeeeeeeey it's my "Bartek" Power Team Boy!! I love him and his freckle face!!! Actually I've been looking for the same figure, because of my doll-collector friend! She's in love with my Bart :)))
Is he "rare" or something? I buy my "Bartek" as a RANGER Team Power a year ago. In big box, with a lot of euqipments.
Well I 'll keep searching for that Figure ;)

Have a nice day D7ana!!!! :*

D7ana said...

Hi Eibhlin!

Quelle coincidence ;-)

"Bartek" is a popular guy, huh? Three ladies love him. LOL.

No, that Power Team guy is not rare. I have seen him in different roles: M & C Toys uses the same figure in different roles. Your "Bartek" was a Ranger; my "Brian Stuart" was a Delta Force, Hostage Rescue. So you have to see the actual figure to be sure that you have the figure that you want. If I see a "Bartek"-faced Power Team guy, I will let you know where I saw him.

I wish you a nice day, too!

Thanks for visiting.

P.S. Did you see this post about why I like the Power Team guys and this other post about a doll/action figure enthusiast who uses Power Team figures in his movies?

Eibhlin said...

LOL :)

Thank you for everything! :***
"Bartek" is like that dolls - OOAK!
Lol! :)))
I should feedback to your comment long time ago! I'm so sorry for that :(
Anyway... Bartek eyes are so proportional!!! Most of the Power Team or Action Man got a big BLUE eyes! So he is relly special guy :)

Just give me a minute and I'll check your other topics about Power Team guys!

And one more think - sometimes I got problem to express myself in english - sorry for that! You must forgive me that - I'm lazy :P I don't have a problem when I speak english, but when I must leave a text messege... well there's something like: "OMG I'm sure a did something wrong..." :)

I wanna thank you for your comments in my blog - you always put some "polish" commants :) This is awesome and unique :) It's so sweet!!!!!
Much love!!!!!!

Hi Eibhlin! You are welcome to any information I can share. I am happy that you visit my blog and that you leave me fun responses.

We have busy lives so we cannot always leave feedback immediately; it is nice to read feedback when it does come. So post late, post early, whenever you can, I get a gift at that time ;-)

Your English is fine - I understand your meaning. If I do not, I re-phrase and wait to hear back from you.

I must confess something to you: I do not know any spoken or written Polish. Yes, I hang my head in shame. When I enter "Polish" comments, I take that text from a translation from Google Translate. So if the sentences or answers seem a little odd; that is the way Google Translate has interpreted my response. (Yes, yes - blame the software, lol.)

Some readers who have another first language prefer an English response that they can translate. I admire that you speak and read and write English in addition to Polish.

(I "studied" some French in college. I wish my French were better. I will have to use it more often in 2014 ;-D)

Big hug and much love back to you!
