Remember when the My Scene crew were "Jammin' in Jamaica?" Well, here's Jai from that wave. Originally, I thought to behead Jai so that I could use her poser body for one of my less articulate dolls. Sigh. But as if she could read my mind, she's been giving me this wounded "how could you" look. So she has won the right to retain her body.
If you would like to see Jai as she was in her original box, please see my Webshots folder labelled "My Scene." There are other My Scene dolls there, too.
What's the backdrop? Oh, that's #3012-01 the Real Friends Shopping Mall by Geoffrey, Inc. circa 1999. It was distributed by Toys R Us. Does anyone know if Toys R Us produced catalogs or other documents showing all the Real Friend playsets? That would be fun to see. I don't see much about this series online so I would check back issues of Playthings magazines.

Jai is cute. I don't readily remember her, but I have never been a My Scene diehard. I have the the first two Madisons. Then in about 2009, when I discovered Westley (made for the UK market only), I purchased 2 or 3, from UK sellers. Just for the fun of it and because of their popularity at the time, a couple of harder-to-find Madisons that do stuff -- like grow and change facial expressions followed. Maybe I will blog about them soon.

Wow, I love the packaging of her original box. I'm a sucker for well done marketing.
"Only if I get a kiss." Harassment!!! LOL
Jai was only produced once so she would be easily missed if you didn't follow the My Scene set closely. She and Sutton were sold along with a bicycle for 2.
Your post about the My Scene Madison/Westleys would grab some new My Scene enthusiasts. And I would love to see some of the different faces - was one Fab Face who "spoke?"
Hi D7ana,
Yes, one of the Madison's is Fab Faces.
I'll add this to my blog-post-to-do-list. In fact, I'll go ahead and draft it now to help "remind" me to complete it.

My "My Scene" blog post is up, D7ana
