Ruby Red Toys Doll Family

Voice of the Future Jada by Ruby Red Toys

In my previous post, my Mother's Day doll, Voice of the Future Jada from the Ruby Red Fashion Friends line was introduced. As promised, photos of Jada with my other Ruby Red Toys doll family are included in this post.

Maya, James, and Jada

By the Sea Maya is my first Ruby Red Fashion Friend doll by Ruby Red Toys. James is my second doll from this series. Jada is my third from the Fashion Friends series. Maya and James have removable wigs. Maya's original wig, as illustrated here, was replaced last year with the auburn wig that she wears now. Jada's wig is permanently attached. 

The trio of Fashion Friends is joined by Kelsey, from Ruby Red Toys' Siblies line. Kelsey is Kayla's younger sister, but in my collection, she is Maya's little sister.

Illustrated in the next picture, two more Ruby Red Toys dolls complete my collection; my original Kelsey, seated on the right; and Create Your Dream Doll Mila.

I'm glad Voice of the Future Jada has joined the family of dolls that display well together as illustrated above.  

Why Kelsey Was Replaced

My 1st Kelsey's eyes transformed from flawed violet in color to an eerie pale pink as illustrated on the left. I used acrylic paint to paint over the eyes as illustrated on the right. 

*My first Siblies Kelsey was a Christmas gift from my son in 2021. The doll arrived with violet eyes. Because her hair has lavender lowlights, I thought the eyes were supposed to be violet. However, after Kelsey had been here for several months, her eyes continued to lighten to an eerie pale pink. Another collector informed me that her eyes were supposed to be brown. In 2023, I contacted Ruby Red Toys about the flawed eyes with proof of purchase, and they graciously and promptly replaced Kelsey. I was prepared to return the original doll, but they did not require that. To salvage the 1st Kelsey, I painted the eyes on a couple of occasions with acrylic paint in an attempt to achieve a "normal" look. My eye painting skills are crude, and I am not completely satisfied with the painted eyes, but they look much better than the pale pinkish color.

Christmas 2021 Dolls Part 3 of 5

Kelsey is a Siblies doll by Ruby Red

By the Sea Maya needed a companion. So, I asked my son to buy Kelsey for me for Christmas and, of course, he did. She is shown still attached to the box liner in the first photograph.

Additional In-the-Box Photos

The top of Kelsey's box reads: Stand ~ Pose ~ Style.

Still attached to the box liner, Kelsey is standing, posing, and styling.

Along with Kelsey, the other Siblies (Bailey, Rory, Sydney, and Callie) are shown on the back of the box.

Kelsey is 12 inches tall and has 9 points of articulation for different standing and sitting poses, as indicated on the back of the box. She has a black non-removable wig with ombre lavender underneath and lavender highlights. Her inset eyes are hazel brown with painted upper eyelashes and eyebrows.

Additional text from the back of the box reads:

Welcome to the world of Siblies!

Siblies are Sisters and Brothers and Besties!!

They love music, dancing, sports, friendship, and fun.

Siblies are 12" tall, are fully posable, and can even stand on their own.

With 9 points of articulation ~ they are ready for any adventure!!

Come celebrate with the Siblies!

Out of the Box Photos

Kelsey wears a black orchid-appliqued T-shirt, white and black orchid shorts, and purple star-printed leggings. She has sparkly purple flats and an orange belly bag. 

The Siblies use a Dianna Effner sculpt.

Siblies are distributed by Music City Merchandising, LLC (Nashville, TN) / Leannie Global Limited (Hong Kong). 

Kelsey poses with her big sister, By the Sea Maya. Maya is from the Ruby Red Fashion Friends collection and was a UFDC convention exclusive sold by Happily Ever After.

A close-up of Kelsey and Maya illustrates their lovely faces and how well the two display together.

Christmas 2021 dolls will continue in parts 4 and 5.
