Paging Mrs. Anderson: Red Ballet Flats

Hello, Mrs. Anderson! I think I've found the source for your red ballet flats.

 Disney Princesses Blossom Beauty Mulan by Mattel has a pair like the ones you described in a recent post. They're part of her original outfit. Red soft plastic with a thin ribbon molded on the front of the shoes. They are embossed "CHINA" on the soles. Do you think these are the ones - er, is the one - that you have?

Mulan waves hi.























Here are the red flats.

    Thanks for the detective work, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I realized I've been mixing up words - I was thinking of ballet FLATS! I.e. the ones that look like most Skipper shoes... (Insert embarrased emoticon here.)

    At least now we know there exists a pair of red ballet slippers, in case someone needs them. :)

    I found this dolls face today! I have the lighter face of the one in the photo, but the one I found today has a more fleshy colored tone so she'll be easier to get a body for.

    @Billa and Mrs. Anderson - Actually, I did little detective work. Mulan is one of many dolls laying around. Her red "slippers" caught my eye. I checked my Excel Mattel doll spreadsheet to see which Mulan she was - bada bing, just photographed her and uploaded the reduced size photo ;-)

    @Muff - congrats on finding your second Mulan! I think there is an articulated Mulan who came with a horse. I might get that one some day. Might ;-)

    The shoes on doll are the first things to go. I found a pair of pink Barbie shoes in the snow the other day. Flat shoes are the hardest to find.
