Hearts for Hearts Girls, Rahel

Hearts For Hearts Girls Rahel

Having arrived during the last week of June, Rahel is no longer on my wish list thanks to my BDFF (best doll friend forever).  I just love her too-cute face and her big brown eyes.  Even more than that, I adore her huge Afro. 

Representing Ethiopia, Rahel is dressed in a gold bodysuit, burnt orange full-length wrap skirt, tan faux leather sandals, yellow gemstone dangle earrings, and multiple strands of colorful beads and bracelets.  Her accessories include a book that tells her story, a girl-sized Hearts for Hearts necklace, a wide-toothed comb, and a special code that unlocks the owners membership in the Hearts for Hearts Girls online community.

Rahel received the customary photo shoot and also found a BFF in Nora, the doll I incorrectly thought shared the same face mold.   Photos follow.

The back of box illustrates the other Hearts for Hearts Girls that represent girls from other lands.

Deboxed and free; Rahel is all vinyl and stands 14 inches tall.

Rahel and BFF Nora by Paolo Reina of Spain could be sisters as well as BFFs.  Nora is a little over an inch shorter.

Thanks again, DR.

Hearts4Hearts Girls!

I just discovered these dolls after browsing the current issue of Doll Collector magazine.  I like the concept (a portion of the proceeds of each doll's sale is donated to a children's organization in the country the doll represents).  At 14 inches tall and all vinyl, their size is perfect.  Girls ages 6 to 10 are the target market.

According to their press release, Heart 4 Heart Girls retail for $29.99 and will be sold at Target stores and online at Target.com (eventually).
