It's an area underneath her clothing. I keep her skull cap on over her full-length wig which might be helping to keep it in place. <br /><br />My first Bijou is redressed in a combination of dolls' clothing. I really disliked that lace blouse she wore originally. She continues to wear her white tank and "fur" vest. I guess I'll have to share a photo soon of how she is dressed now. <br /><br />It sounds like you performed some majoring surgery on the 1st wave of dolls, but that's what we are supposed to do. If the manufacturer doesn't get it right, we certainly can.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-6494872812421237542013-02-08T12:08:56.122-06:002013-02-08T12:08:56.122-06:00I have this version of Bijou.

You know QC can be off in any line.<br /><br />For 1st wave B I find that if I use a headband or hat her wig stays better. I also find double-sided tape works too. I don't leave it on for over a week or 2. I did buy a few of the 1st version. I switched eyes and stole clothes and rebodied a doll or 2 :O)Dollz4Moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386314679264566475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-85945056939646925792013-02-07T05:24:24.916-06:002013-02-07T05:24:24.916-06:00Hello from Spain, I have not any MT but héroe she ...Hello from Spain, I have not any MT but héroe she is cheap.

She also had nice t-strap heels. I liked her reddish hair but I gave her body to a Liv Katie. If I found some of these Bijou dolls for $10 I would buy them and make some more WNBA stars out of big-headed Barbie clones but I don't like her dress well enough to buy her just for that even though the Moxie Teenz fashion packs were around $10 when they first came out.limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-52429274896935765352013-02-06T04:17:36.738-06:002013-02-06T04:17:36.738-06:00I have that one, too, GG.

My "sucker for a bargain moment" is what caused my moments of regret for not purchasing initially. <br /><br />The more I look at this Bijou, the more I dislike her hairline which accentuates the oval/flat appearance of her face. For a brief second, I thought she would display well with Bijou (wave 1) and Kenya-Get Christie Love who have now become BFFs, but I would have to redress the other Bijou anyway.<br /><br />Plus Ross's toy section is about as unorganized and picked over in most cases as Marshall's, but Marshall's usually has better offerings. I don't particularly care to go on a treasure hunt in Ross's toy section when in most cases, I leave empty handed. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-35358359472537162942013-02-06T04:07:46.894-06:002013-02-06T04:07:46.894-06:00Thanks Allenoel.

If you have any Ross' in your area I'd check them out to see if they have her.<br /><br />I don't have any Bijous and she's the only one I haven't collected from any line. I've seen your missed version at Toys R Us but it was $14.99.<br /><br />My prom Melrose is still in her box so I can attest to quality or anything. Her dress is also a shiny mess and I really got her for rebodying.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-70988310435444896522013-02-05T22:44:12.614-06:002013-02-05T22:44:12.614-06:00So sorry you missed her.
