That's my opinion ;-)<br /><br />Only 2 of my Mixis dolls were selected by me: the others I got via mail order. Shrug. I still like their faces.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-26112932663321695722014-10-10T20:41:31.342-04:002014-10-10T20:41:31.342-04:00I was thinking of the difference in face shape whi...I was thinking of the difference in face shape which you suggested might be due to the mold being worn down. Unlike the face-up it's hard to change, and since I can't pick one out in person I'm trying to figure out which one I prefer - although I'm not sure I can tell the difference. The newer doll seems to have a bigger chin, I think?Anderson's All-Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061361058670001577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-16877694758597927882014-10-08T12:28:16.326-04:002014-10-08T12:28:16.326-04:00hi Anderson's All-Purpose!

Slight variation in the face screening and hair placement. <br /><br />I was able to chose my First Edition Rosa from others because I bought her from a vendor visiting the city. My Limited Edition Rosa was ordered online; I didn't get to choose which face I liked best. <br /><br />Best wishes deciding which doll to get ;-).<br />D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-85469376210773740472014-10-07T03:35:02.308-04:002014-10-07T03:35:02.308-04:00Oh no, I really want a Rosa some day but I was hav...Oh no, I really want a Rosa some day but I was having a hard time choosing between two pair of shoes vs. articulated elbows... and now you tell me the faces are different too?! :DAnderson's All-Purposehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061361058670001577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-34589209891091675962014-09-24T10:56:21.864-04:002014-09-24T10:56:21.864-04:00Hi Diego Mauricio!

Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />@The grandmommy - I prefer more articulation, too. When I got the Rosa on the right, only the First Edition (straight-armed) dolls were available. I got the bend armed doll later. <br /><br />@Night Owl - both ladies are pleased and blushing. Thanks for the compliments!<br /><br />@Fricskamacska - on the YNU Group International shopping website, international customers can send an email message to <a href="mailto:info@mixis.com" rel="nofollow">info@mixis.com</a> to get a price for shipping outside the U.S./Canada. If you do not get them from another doll collector. I wish you joy with the Mixis doll or dolls of your choice.<br /><br />@Muff - I agree 100%. Rosa actually looks Hispanic. Unlike some other dolls I will bring forth. Sigh. <br /><br />@Smaller Places - I think the differences are due to the age of the head mold and the placement of the hair line. <br /><br />@Marta - I like more articulated dolls, too. <br /><br />@Jewell - congratulations on your Mixis doll(s) to come. I look forward to seeing her/them on your blog ;-)<br /><br />@Black Doll Enthusiast - I prefer the denim separates to the Mixis sundresses, too. Thanks for including the link to your Rosa/Marisa comparison post: I would like to add that to my post on playscale Hispanic doll/action figure posts.<br /><br />@Barb the Evil Genius - the shrugs are my LEAST favorite Mixis fashion accessory. I like their delicacy - not so much knitted as crocheted, but the fit is a little awkward. <br /><br />And yes, both dolls are lovely. I slightly prefer the one on the right because I picked her from several boxes of Rosa dolls. She and the First Edition Opal are the first Mixis dolls to have entered my doll collection.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-31558451461955353052014-09-21T18:57:18.011-04:002014-09-21T18:57:18.011-04:00I like both of these dolls, and the blue and white...I like both of these dolls, and the blue and white dress.
