This 1990s 11-1/2-inch doll was purchased from K-Mart for $1.99. Not a fashion doll collector at the time, specifically not a Barbie collector, I was, however, drawn to Crystal, because of her facial features. I appreciate her fuller nose and lips, which set her apart from other generic Barbie wannabees.
Dressed in a simple off-white floral-print dress, Crystal has brown rooted hair, beautiful brown eyes, and darkly painted lips. Her only accessory is a pair of white high-heel pumps that remain enclosed in the plastic pouch which is attached to the box liner.
Crystal has the same head sculpt as Cammie Goes to College. Made in China, this doll was also distributed by a Detroit, Michigan-based company, Starlite, Inc.
Several versions of Crystal were manufactured, dressed in different fashions with possibly different hairstyles. I owned more than one, but eventually gave the others to nieces as I downsized and eliminated multiples. Although Crystal is not articulated, I am so glad I kept one for myself!
