Im waiting for prices to drop ,but definitely spending! Thank you! <br /><br />Eyeing the quality of fully stocked sections of these dolls I was dismayed by the very poor clothing and paint. Each unicorn outfit I've seen in person looked worse than yours...by a lot!

Very similar to Ever After High. My G's limbs are holding up well. I was even tugging on her arms at one point during the review to see if the hands are meant to be removable. The knees also feel sturdy...although Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178054470349012341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-85070489050736633252017-07-29T00:33:07.328-04:002017-07-29T00:33:07.328-04:00I found G & Love at a local Walmart for $18 &a...I found G & Love at a local Walmart for $18 & change. I've read some people are having trouble with the limbs breaking. Are these dolls fragile? I want to give them as gifts, what age group would you suggest? Do you think she is a play doll or more of a display collectible doll? Thank you for the great review & comparisons.discodiva1979https://www.blogger.com/profile/07189489612690516435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-24942034604645086362017-07-06T17:27:05.480-04:002017-07-06T17:27:05.480-04:00It is also in the Beatles I am the walrus, which c...It is also in the Beatles I am the walrus, which came out before Mrs. Robinson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-37879422096346121512017-07-04T03:25:41.225-04:002017-07-04T03:25:41.225-04:00I hate to be "That Person" but "Koo...I hate to be "That Person" but "Koo Koo Kachoo" is most famously a line from Mrs. Robinson, which is by Simon and Garfunkel. :) Okay...

It's weird, because the proportions are all off and such, but I got a very strong Gwen vibe from her before I even clicked on the fill review and saw that she was based on Gwen. Something about their mouths and face shape reminds me of her. Anyways, great review as always!
