Glad you enjoyed the post.
I have Jennys,...Hi Kim! Glad you enjoyed the post.<br /><br />I have Jennys, Momokos, and Susies. No Liccas or Annz - though I would like at least one Annz because they remind me of Francies. <br /><br />I consider Susie "An American Abroad" because the native of San Francisco has a Chinese-American father and a Spanish- American mother as told on the <a href="http://rnddolls.com/site/susie.htm" rel="nofollow">"Susie's Story"</a> page.<br /><br />(Aside: other multi-ethnic dolls are the Mixis by YNU Group. There are a <i>few</i> posts here about the Mixis dolls LOL.)<br /><br />While Dollfies are attractive, they cost more than I would want to spend on one doll (aha! bet no one thought <i>I</i> put a limit on what I would spend on dolls.) so I don't study them.<br /><br />I love the growing articulation of fashion dolls. Now even Barbies have jointed elbows and knees and wrists. That's progress indeed ;-)D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-75815348695610678042010-02-08T23:22:30.160-05:002010-02-08T23:22:30.160-05:00Great post! I like the comparison of the two dolls...Great post! I like the comparison of the two dolls. I don't have a Sharp (and I don't think I want one). I don't have/want a Jenny or Licca and I am not overly fond of Momoko though I will probably get one or two (Momoko has great fashions and some great concepts). It could be that I don't prefer the anime look on dolls (though I do like the anime look on urban vinyl figures). I have three Susies and I really like Susie, though I don't know exactly why. I think the sculpt is pleasing. If memory serves me correctly, she is intended to be Eurasian or of mixed ancestry which I think is an interesting concept for a doll and reflects life in cosmopolitan cities. <br /><br />I really want an Annz, but I haven't gotten around to getting one yet. <br /><br />I don't know what to think about dollfie - I am really conflicted. I love the idea of the doll intellectually, but I can't warm up to how many of them actually look and then again, some are very beautiful. <br /><br />I am beginning to see convergence in the various ideas and approaches to fashion doll/figures from the different lines.AilanthusAltissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350359465296643174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-33855783618945908112010-02-05T08:05:22.787-05:002010-02-05T08:05:22.787-05:00Your welcome, Niel.

I'll submit more photos for comparison and perhaps some measurements :-)D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-33430838362035448182010-02-05T08:00:23.610-05:002010-02-05T08:00:23.610-05:00Glad to share a "new" face ;-D
Oh the w...Glad to share a "new" face ;-D<br /><br />Oh the wonderful world of Asian fashion dolls, SmidgeGirl! It began with Barbies sold in Japan, moved to special market Barbies sold in Japan then to Takara Jenny and Ma-Ba Barbies. Then Momoko, Susie, Annz, etc. And let's NOT go into the wonderful mooks with their fab projects.<br /><br />I'm working on a Petworks-Sekiguchi post now. Have photos, need to write the text.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-74774208982156659462010-02-05T02:57:04.629-05:002010-02-05T02:57:04.629-05:00I've never seen a Sharp, and I've always b...I've never seen a Sharp, and I've always been very drawn to Susie-- I'm love to hear more about both these dolls:)smidge girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056541743211252133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-79602188132402548222010-02-02T03:52:24.733-05:002010-02-02T03:52:24.733-05:00Thanks for this comparison Dana. :) Sharp's he...Thanks for this comparison Dana. :) Sharp's head is bigger than Susie? It doesn't seem so in the photo. Maybe her big hair made her head look smaller.Nielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340191295121067673noreply@blogger.com
