Compared to her body, her face has a pinkish color, and to me it makes her look like she was choking on something stuck in her throat.<br />I can't help but feel the need to go and help her get whatever is stuck in her throat out so she can breathe again.<br /><br />Good thing is, this doesn't happen with the rest of the dolls.

The difference in price is only a few dollars. I love the dress and styling on the Golden Swirls version, but the Color Block seems so much more versatile. Did you ever debox your Golden Swirl?

I've already ordered two of these girls. If the skin tones look better in person, then I'll be OK with them. If the skin tone mis-match is really apparent in person, then I'll be sorry I bought them. It's a shame, because I think their faces are darling.

While cute, they remind me too much of some Bratz knockoffs I've seen in dollar stores, right down to the simplified facepaint style and that unfocused, dreamy look.<br /><br />The two-toned body is a big turnoff. Tonner should have enough experience with dolls to get that right.
