| #SnapStar Dawn |
There are some new articulated 9-1/2-inch all-vinyl dolls by Yulu on the scene called #SnapStar available at Walmart. My doll's name is Dawn. She has the deepest complexion of the six dolls, five of which are featured at the top of their
Instagram page.
 |
| The six #SnapStar dolls are illustrated on the side of Dawn's box. |
They are Dawn, Echo, Aspen, Lola, Yuki, and Izzy.
Izzy has a medium tan complexion.
 |
| Dawn is illustrated on a side panel of her box. |
 |
| There are separately sold fashions for the #SnapStar dolls. |
While at Walmart, I purchased three of the six separately-sold fashions. Two that I left are made of shimmery fabric that I do not care for. The other is a cute white dress with white Roman sandals that I should have purchased.
Dawn has brown stationary eyes and a brown, removable wig. She wears a white satin blouse which is attached to black satin shorts. She also wears a black satin jacket and black high-heel booties. Black vinyl drop earrings and the black vinyl handbag she carries complete her look. A cellphone, foldable green screen wall, and a green doll stand are also included.

The concept is to
snap (photograph),
style (using makeup and styling features of the app which is available in the App Store or Google Play) and
share on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and other social media outlets.
Each doll has a theme and a brief bio. Dawn's bio reads:
Fashion Diva! Dawn is a high-powered, high-fashion diva who only settles for the best – she knows what she wants and always gets it! Want to know where the party is? Call Dawn!

| Articulation illustration |
In addition to the usual five points of articulation, the area underneath the mature bosom is articulated along with the elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles.
 |
| Dawn wears a 9-inch Bratz fashion and petite Barbie shoes. |
I was unable to remove Dawn's black booties until I dipped her shoed feet into boiled water to loosen up the vinyl of the boots. This might be a flaw that is isolated to my doll only, but quite possibly is not.
As illustrated in the photo immediately above, she can wear 9-inch Bratz clothes, but not the shoes because she has a full foot which is arched. In the above photo, she wears a pair of flat shoes made for petite Barbie.
#SnapStar and LIV Comparison
 |
| Head sculpt comparison between LIV Alexis and Yulu's Dawn; Dawn's nose is a little broader than Alexis' nose. Her chin is slightly narrower than Alexis'. |
#SnapStar dolls look very similar to Spinmaster's LIV dolls. Dawn is shorter and has a broader nose. Like LIV, they even have painted hair underneath their removable wigs as illustrated next.
 |
| Dawn's wig has a vinyl plug in the center. |
Like LIV dolls, there is a hole in the center of Dawn's head where the wig plug attaches to the head.
 |
| They can wear each other's wig. |
The fiber quality of Dawn's wig is inferior to that of LIV wigs. The poor quality of the wig and the shoe issue are the only two cons. The shoe issue is more bothersome than the less than desirable wig quality.

There is always something to collect and write about. Black dolls chose me.
