Aria and Froggy Fresh Dolls

Fresh Dolls Aria Deluxe Set and Froggy Fresh Deluxe Set

Aria and Froggy Fresh arrived in late December.  I had preordered Aria in March of 2018 before the dolls were produced.  Froggy Fresh was ordered in December and arrived within a week of that order.  Both remain in their boxes for now, but I hope you will enjoy the photos I took.

Aria

Aria wears a two-piece pants set, the midriff top of which has off-shoulder sleeves.

Aria's violet lip color matches both fashions.  She wears circular Fresh logo'd silvertone earrings and white wedge heels.  Her short curly hair is dark brown.  Her eyes are hazel.

Aria carries a white clutch.

Aria's second outfit, as described on the Fresh Dolls website includes, "a sparkling, purple cropped sweater; a duo-chrome lavender/lilac, high-waist skirt; and a white Fresh Satchel Bag and matching white heel set."

Aria and Wave 1 Lynette pose for a complexion comparison.

Complexion-wise, Aria and Lynette from Wave 1 share the same complexion.  In other doll lines, Aria's complexion would be comparable to S.I.S. Chandra (from "The Love to Shop Chandra and Trichelle two-pack) and Barbie Fashionista Fancy Flowers as illustrated here in a comparison with Wave 1 Lynette.

Froggy Fresh 

The Froggy Fresh Doll is fashioned after the "My Froggy Fresh Stuff" vlogger.  She has multiple microbraids, wears a My Froggy Stuff-logo'd white T-shirt, denim pants, and gold-tone circular Fresh earrings.

Froggy Fresh holds her black square-rimmed glasses in her left hand.  She has an extra fashion of metallic lime jacket and denim shorts.

In addition to her extra fashion, she has a laptop and a cell phone.

Froggy Fresh wears bright pink high-top sneakers.

Complexion-wise, when compared to the other Fresh Dolls, Froggy's skin tone is unique.  None of the other girls in the line share her complexion.  

Barbie Look Nighttime Glamour and Fresh Mia were used for complexion comparisons with Froggy.  Froggy's body is slightly darker than theirs as illustrated above and in the next close-up photo.

Use their arms as a guide to note that Froggy's complexion is slightly darker than Barbie's and Mia's.

Next, view the unboxing of the My Froggy Fresh Doll by none other than the woman behind the My Froggy Stuff brand.

Like all other dolls in this line, Aria and Froggy have multiple points of articulation.  

The back of the box, shown below, is the same for all Fresh Dolls in Wave 2.

Most of the dolls shown on the back of the box are from Wave 2.  They are Daniel, Aria, Malik,  Tamra (Wave 1), Froggy Fresh, Anthony, Mia, Lynette, Jacqueline from Wave 1 in "Red Carpet Royalty" fashion,  Victoria in "Ring My Bell" Sleeve Cocktail Dress, Aleyna, and Indigo in "Lovely Lavender" jumpsuit.

The Fresh Squad!

Fresh Squad Anthony, Malik, and Daniel

The Fresh Squad guys Anthony, Malik, and Daniel were preordered in March of this year directly from the Fresh Dolls website.  My dolls arrived this past Saturday.  The dolls were shipped in a packet which was not sturdy enough to protect the boxes.  Some areas of the cellophane are scratched, creased, or otherwise dinged.  This is not a huge issue for me, but for those who desire perfect boxes, it might be.

Box Issues

In this close-up of Anthony's face, the scratched cellophane is noticeable.

Creases are visible on Malik's box in the close-up photo taken of his extra black jacket.  Box issues aside, the dolls are fabulous.

Features
As indicated on the box liner, each guy has 13 points of articulation.  If he has hair (Anthony is bald), the hair is rooted -- not a molded, plastic representation of hair.  Each box is personalized with the doll's name.  Sold as Deluxe Sets, a laptop with working cover, cell phone, and eyeglasses are included with each.  Both Malik and Daniel's jackets are attached to the box liner.  Although they share the same head sculpt, their complexions differ.

Photos

Anthony is bald with a five o'clock shadow. Of the three guys, he has the deepest complexion.  He wears a black knit shirt with a red jacket and black slacks.  His accessories, as indicated above, include an open laptop, sunglasses, and a cell phone.

Malik has a medium complexion.  He has multiple black microbraids, the top portion of which is pulled up and held with a rubber band.  He has painted-on facial hair of mustache and goatee.   He is dressed in a white shirt worn underneath a red and black check shirt, blue jeans, and red sneakers.  Malik has an extra black Members-Only-style jacket.  As shown in the next image, his laptop is closed.

Malik's electronic accessories and sunglasses are shown in this close-up photo.

Light-complected Daniel's brown hair is styled in a tapered curly fade.   The fade is painted; the curls are rooted. He has a goatee.  His off-white Henley, Army green pants, and brown boots coordinate well with his green camouflage jacket.  Like Malik, his laptop is also closed.

The images used on the back of the Fresh Squad dolls' boxes are the same.   Most of the dolls shown are from Wave 2.  They are Daniel, Aria, Malik,  Tamra (Wave 1), Froggy Fresh, Anthony, Mia, Lynette, Jacqueline from Wave 1 in "Red Carpet Royalty" fashion,  Victoria (not yet released) in "Ring My Bell" Sleeve Cocktail Dress, Aleyna, and Indigo in "Lovely Lavender" jumpsuit.

Gesture of Thanks
Included with my Fresh Squad order was a thank you note from Dr. Lisa.  Attached to the outside of the envelope was a gold-tone hair ornament.  A sheet of one-sixth playscale-sized cutouts was also sent as a gesture of thanks.

Thank you note from Dr. Lisa and gold-tone hair ornament

The note reads:  From my heart to your home, I hope this package brings a little bit of joy to your life.  Have a Fresh and Positively Perfect day!

This printout includes several playscale-sized items to cut out and/or to cut out and fold to create an array of Fresh-Doll-themed items such as covers for a magazine and textbook, passport, posters, clock, student ID, TV, and a corkboard message board.

It's very reFreshing to have male dolls on the market with multiple points of articulation and rooted hair!

Here is the link to the Fresh Shop where there are links to several categories of shopping.

Update:  I just watched Ms. Tee's Doll Room deboxing video of the Fresh Squad dolls (1/9/2019) and wanted to add it here for your viewing pleasure.
