| Fashion Doll Head from Dollar Tree |
A quick stop in Dollar Tree on Memorial Day led to the discovery of these fashion doll heads. They are similar in design to the extra heads made for Mattel's Fashionista Swappin' Styles except the breast and shoulders are permanently attached to a yellow base. The head can be removed.
I thought these might be good for repaint practice or to hold playscale wigs (if the rooted hair is shaved off.) The heads with their relatively attractive faces and brown eyes can also be used on extra doll bodies. A hair brush is included.

Great to see that Dollar Tree has started to carry some black dolls again after a hiatus of about five years.
ReplyDeleteI guess a black doll head is a decent start. This was my 2nd time visiting this recently opened Dollar Tree. The first time I was disappointed to see a gang load of white Barbie clones and zero black ones. The fashion heads were the closest thing to a black doll they had on my second trip. Maybe next time they'll have whole black dolls in stock.

Those are really cute! Mmm might have to check these out for repaint experiments ! Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteI've seen these heads in some Deals stores here in Philly. So they might be available at other discount stores.
ReplyDeleteTheir heads can pop off a round knob trake. They have holes for earrings, too. On the boxes here, they are called "Lovely Tracy" in yellow script.
Thanks D7ana for sharing the additional info!

My pleasure ;-D
DeleteThey are perfect for repaint practice. I purchased a few. I plan to use them in my salon...whenever it is finally created. Lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's good they are available in your area, Georgia Girl.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing your salon.

Don't forget using them to practice hairstyles too!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! They will be good for hair play.

Thanks Debbie. I do have some extra bodies, and I do want to start repainting, soooo...
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Roxanne. I hope they are available in your area.

I went to Dollar Tree today and they had plenty of white ones, but no black ones. :(
DeleteAww man! I should have purchased extras. I'll probably go back sometime this week.

They are cute. Someone (not me) could open up a Hair School and use some of the black ones and some of the whites ones as head mannequins. That would be cool. Again, not me.
ReplyDeleteThey are cute, Vanessa. A salon is a great idea. Georgia Girl mentioned her plans to open one. I hope the doors will open soon.

Not a hair salon. A hair school. I guess it's really called a Cosmetology school. We had a full service one at my high school as part of the curriculum. Maybe I will do one. Kara can take on that project at the local high school. NOOOOOOO, Vanessa, NOOOOOO.
