Her head had leaked a lot in the packaging, her pet had strange marks on it, and I read about her legs being easily broken. I ordered a rerelease and planned to return the old one, but the new doll looked so different I ended up keeping both. http://www.flickr.com/photos/back2s0ul/9153387056/in/set-72157632210355282thweattedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632797595032249462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-32242111862127555882013-10-19T15:28:49.898-04:002013-10-19T15:28:49.898-04:00I have Picture Day Spectra and her stand is loose ...I have Picture Day Spectra and her stand is loose as wellthweattedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632797595032249462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-11849344764908184872013-10-19T11:58:27.558-04:002013-10-19T11:58:27.558-04:00Than you, Emily (both of you!).

As a side note to the blog-owner Emily, I think you would really like my hair! It's a darker reddish-brown, with a rainbow layer underneath. My parents wouldn't let me do it all over ;) . It is permanent, but I'm going to take it out for Halloween, then die it Juliet XDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135908920873497564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-39159168343838812102013-10-18T22:35:25.268-04:002013-10-18T22:35:25.268-04:00Tinsel in doll hair is ALWAYS a problem.

If it's not snarling or melting or kinking, it's sticking out all wonky. I bought Dead-Tired Abbey because she was affordadorable but that tinsel just KILLS me.

I think Emily has talked about this before, but there are two different fibers used for MH dolls, and that can be a big factor. I think part of it is also just luck.

It actually raised some things I wish I'd known before I did my big shopping trip 2 days ago (I went from 1 to 5 MH dolls!(2 are CaM) Like the fact that the basic doll does not come with a stand and more than 2 accessories. <br />I still love my music festival Venus, her outfit is great, but I don't really feel she was worth the 33$ (Norwegian prices) I paid Pantherahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022933350463300166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-31407889927817609332013-10-16T20:21:24.149-04:002013-10-16T20:21:24.149-04:00Thanks so much for this review!
