She's lovely. She looks really nice in all her redressed outfits. My fave being the Dazzle dress. However, I do like that turquoise sweater. It really complements her hair color. Maybe if it was paired with some cute pants or jeans. You HAVE to get Raven. What a cutie! You're right. To get a Dianne Effner sculpt in a black doll is very rare. Would you really want to miss out?

Thanks for the LE information. As soon as I make up my mind about Raven, I plan to let my daughter know. I think they have the sweetest faces and the artist who sculpted the original dolls (not the last two; I am not sure who sculpted those) rarely creates dark skinned dolls. My only other doll by Dianna Effner is Monday's Child Daria, seen <a href="http://blackdollcollecting.blogspot.com/2010/12/mondays-child-gift-from-me-to-me.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If you study her face you will see that she, Raven, and Tanya resemble. Daria, however, is much shorter and the height I prefer these days, 10 inches. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-73416414398080758102015-10-05T09:11:41.004-05:002015-10-05T09:11:41.004-05:00Hi Debbie!

When I first saw Raven in her former outfit I didn't like her at all, so I can totally to relate to what you wrote about Tanya. However the second edition of Raven (the re-edition is due to Europeans dolls collectors who begged so much that the company decided to give Raven a second shot) is supposed to be wearing a lovely dress and some nice sandals, so yes I couldn't help but pre-order her. Now I have to wait and be a good girl. She won't be home before December if not January. <br />However it is a limited edition so if you feel like you really want her, it is time to start talking about her to your daughter. (Sorry for tempting you!)<br />Take care, <br />ArlettePetite Plangonophile au chocolathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548251311004785318noreply@blogger.com
