I never intended to buy this doll twice, but I got a little stupid when I noticed the new shipments didn't look like the one I already had. The first doll has a sort of puckered expression. The second has relaxed eyebrows, wider eyes, and darker paint colors. I think I may be able to part with the un-puckered doll, now that I have the Picture Day version.
There's an unfortunate seam line across the foreheads of all of them. The head also doesn't join properly with the neck. If you want a Spectra like the first edition, this is the best bet, because the newer ones use a totally different head mold.
The dress is a chintzier version of the 1st edition dress. I only ever saw one 1st edition in person, from the second-rate second run, so I left it. It seems like a slap in the face that, like Cupid, the crumby versions are all most people will ever get.
