How to tell a reproduction head from an original



There are people who try to pass off repro heads as minty originals. Don't fall for the scam.

Here is a shabby vintage head next to All That Jazz reproduction.

However, the easiest way to tell is to look at it from the side.


The junction with the neck is smooth on the original. The reproduction head has a thick plastic lip that goes around the neck.

This is a helpful post. Timely, too, considering the amount of new reproduction dolls introduced now. Thanks for the tip.
