Her hairstyle is the same as Movin On, whose hair is thick and closely rooted. <br /><br />I would not recommend ordering these dolls online if deboxing is planned. You need to see them in person to examine for obvious flaws like missed seams and broken accessories. These are two flaws I have encountered.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-61564525082368697602012-11-25T08:31:23.080-06:002012-11-25T08:31:23.080-06:00Love them all!

I didn't buy Rock Star initially because she is similar to Movin On, whose outfit was the deciding factor between the purchase of the two.<br /><br />After purchasing Fireside Chat a week or two later, her face prompted an idea, but her hairstyle and complexion were not what I needed. Rock Star came to mind as the perfect doll for what I needed. I knew I would buy her eventually. This sale was the eventually.<br /><br />I noticed what appeared to be a nose rub on all the Riviera Kenyas, including the one I have now. I hope that's all it is. The tip of the nose appears to have rubbed against the plastic front of the box making the tip dull.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-6305312235586381832012-11-24T23:02:07.173-06:002012-11-24T23:02:07.173-06:00Congrats!

I wanted the little guitar with Rock Star, but I liked everything else about Movin on, so chose that one. When I went back for the sale, I didn't get Rock Star because I felt that it was too similar to Movin On. When choosing a second doll, I had a tough time deciding between Beverly Hills and Riviera. As I inspected them closely, I saw that Riviera had a small chip in the tip of her nose, so I chose Beverly Hills. Thanks for sharing your purchases.

I exercised major constraint and didn't buy any doll stuff on Black Friday. I even had items in my Barbiecollector cart and put them back. I had considered going to Family Dollar after seeing your post. On Thanksgiving day, as I traveled to my dinner destination, we passed at least 7 Family Dollars. Is this a sign, I thought? Or a test? I felt my willpower was being tested. I passed the test. I do plan to get a couple of these dolls in the future if they are still available. Had the men been available I would have failed that test.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.com
