Mystery Doll Query - Who is She?
No, you haven't got the wrong blog. Still PhillyCollector here, but I received a doll query in Comments that I decided to bring out for my fellow doll enthusiasts. My guess is that the doll is a Disney doll, possibly the Wicked Queen from Snow White? Just a guess though so I ask for Xandara, does anyone recognize this doll?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Contender for the First Asian American Ken
Query and response post to Therese of Dolls of Color blog.
I wear a black leather jacket and black jeans instead of a red costume.
My black hair has trendy chartreuse streaks.
My grandmother was Japanese.
Do you remember me? I am 1 Modern Circle Ken.

I don’t care what the Press claims or the People believe. I know my Story. I know my Heritage. Shouldn't I be the first Asian American Ken? What do you think?

Have you seen these? Generation Girl Outfits Query
The fashions in this post are shown in the third Generation Girl (My Room) booklet. I have seen the outfits shown in the second booklet (Dance Party), but I either missed these fashions or they were never produced. If anyone has seen them, please forward a comment about them and any links showing them NRFB or on a doll.
The only one I would wear would be Lara’s; Nichelle’s hat reminds me of a Fifth Dimension song, “Up, up and Away.” High drama. How about you?

Lads in Leather I
Random male dolls and male action figures in leather (pleather?) outfits. I think our Asian American G.I. Joe is wondering whether he should have worn a red shirt. He and I like the small splash of color though.
He can't help the white gloves - they're molded on.
