Limited Edition Friend Kisara #F5 Headed for eBay, because she's a bit too much like Totally Hair Barbie for me. I tried to love her, but she ended up under my bed for over a year, so out she goes.
I got her for her clothes, the doll will go. She's pretty enough, but kind of plain compared to most of the others made with the same mold. I threw in some pictures of the 1.0 model 07 as well. 2.0 has less red in her hair.
After kvetching at the Disney Store for their horrid site failure on the 18th, I got an unexpected apology coupon and went on a splurge. Now I have several piles of dolls to keep, return, exchange, and a few headed for eBay.
2011 Belle is definitely not a keeper. I love side-glancing dolls, but she looks nervous and bloated next to the 2009 version. I'm glad they're trying to improve their dolls, it's too bad this one is a step backwards.
I'm an adult doll collector, who collects a little bit of everything, as long as it's attractive or interesting.
Almost all the photos I post are mine, with the exception of a handful of company promotional photos.
I'm not a supreme authority on dolls, feel free to disagree with any of my opinions. I don't dictate what others can or can't like.
