I have the three original dolls; Isabella focused more on faries/fantasy, Julia was Middle Ages/Renaissance with an emphasis on adventure, and Emma was geared more towards actual historical characters and nobility.<br /><br />Rowena came out shortly afte the movie Brave, so I think of her more as an homage to that than an actual moonstone characterRebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-41205026795877490532015-10-19T15:24:13.244-04:002015-10-19T15:24:13.244-04:00This doll is gorgeous!

I just love his face, including the very natural shape and size of his eyes. There's also no reason that he couldn't be a female doll. His face, to me, seems like a older child's face (say 8-10 years old), so it could just as easily be a girl's face, maybe with a HPhttp://handcraftedprecision.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-62756941058878995522015-10-11T17:50:31.194-04:002015-10-11T17:50:31.194-04:00I'd been wondering about this doll, so it'...I'd been wondering about this doll, so it's great to see an in-depth look at him!<br /><br />I'm still not 100% sold on his face, but I love the outfit they've given him (even if those boots could have been a bit more user-friendly), so that may be enough for me.
