Elara #3

XianXian Toys' Elara has brown hair.

A third Elara entered the collection in June 2026. Like the other two, this Elara has a charcoal complexion, but her hair is brown.

Sold nude, Elara arrived in a XianXian Toys box, ready for dressing.

Elara wears a two-piece yellow wet-look fashion with white high-heeled shoes.

I had planned to dress her in a Mondrian color-block dress identical to the dress worn by the two Elaras that preceded her, but decided to break up that pattern with a yellow ensemble. 

All three Elaras posed for a full-view photograph and next...

...they posed for this lovely close-up.

These gorgeous dolls use the same head sculpt, but their hair color and style, and their lipstick color differs.

Elara Cover Girls

Mix and match fashion-doll clothes

I purchased new fashions for XianXian Supermodel Elara. In the next picture, the ladies model two of the three fashions. 

The contrast between their deep complexions and the bright colors of the clothing works well.

I love this look on them.  I'll use the extra fashion for another doll.

I wanted to create a 1960s mod-era look with matching Mondrian color-block dresses and fishnet stockings. 

Elara dolls wear a Mondrian color-block dress.

White fishnet stockings, white ankle boots, and wedge heels complement the dresses.

Because they both have supermodel magazine cover appeal, they are now cover girls.

They are indeed supermodels extraordinare!

Elara dolls look just as good in these off-the-rack clothes as in haute couture fashions. 

Sculpt Comparison

    

Before this post was published, another collector asked if I thought Elara and the above honey-skin-toned XianXian doll shared the same sculpt. My initial answer was no. After I took the above photo, my answer remained no. The head sculpts are similar; however, the lighter-complexioned doll's lips appear fuller, and her straight-forward eyes are set wider apart than Elara's. The head sculpt for the doll on the right is Gala, according to the XianXianToys website.

XianXian's Elara x2

XianXian Toys Elara prototype photo

I fell in love with the prototype photos of both versions of XianXian Toys' recently released Elara. I could not wait for other sites to offer the dolls for less. So, I went straight to XianXiantoys.com and ordered the dolls, some fashions, and accessories. My hope was that instead of shipping the items in thin plastic bags with limited protection during transit, the company that makes the dolls would ship them in boxes. As illustrated in the next picture, they did exactly that. 

The dolls and clothing were shipped in sturdy shipping boxes with the outer surface sealed with several layers of packaging tape.

It was well worth the extra $10 for each doll (other sites now have them for around $20). The clothing was reasonably priced (no higher than on other sites that offer the same clothes. I did not have to pay any taxes or tariffs, and shipping was less than $8 for each order.

Note: Some photos show nudity that I elected not to blur because the dolls are advertised this way on the company's website, and because this blog is geared toward adult doll collectors.

First Photos

This photo was taken before the dolls, clothes, and accessories were removed from their individual boxes and packages.

The front center of the doll box is cellophane.

The Product Information from the back of the box reads:

Product Name: Supermodel doll

Skin color: charcoal skin

Product model: Look on the package [this model is Elara.]

Applicable age: Over 14 years old

Maintenance: Wipe the doll with a clean cloth.

Designed by Xianxian of Henan Province, China; Made in China

Each Elara doll arrived attached to a cardstock liner inside its box. Xian Xian Princess Basic Edition is printed throughout the liner.

This is a close-up of their beautiful faces, which illustrates their different lip colors.

Except for their hair texture and style and their different lip colors, the dolls share the same facial features. This head sculpt reminds me of the lovely Cassandra Freeman, the actress who portrays Aunt Viv on Bel-Air (the remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air series).

Fashions and Accessories

I was so anxious to order the dolls that I didn't think about ordering clothing until after the doll order was submitted. So, I placed a separate order for the following four fashions and accessories. 

The four fashions are: 1) A white two-piece top and pants from the Navitation Collection;  2) a gray jacket, red pleather skirt, a black belt, and sunglasses from the Cool Girl Collection; 3) a black crop top, blue pants, a black furry handbag, and a silk scarf, also from the Cool Girl Collection; and 4) a brown faux leather top and shorts ensemble from the Earth Collection

I ordered and received a black faux leather handbag, a brown faux leather shoulder or hand bag, and a set of white, brown, and black shoes with four pairs of different shoes in each set, but each set contains the same four styles.

Modeling

The Elara dolls modeled the four fashions, as illustrated next.

Straight-haired Elara modeled the Navitation fashion and holds the black faux leather handbag. The pants cover her feet. The top and the pants have snap closures.

I added pearl stud earrings to her pre-pierced ears.

White wedge heels are worn with the Navitation ensemble.

My natural-hair queen models the brown shorts ensemble with the brown shoulder bag and wears brown ankle boots from the brown shoes package. The shorts have a snap closure.

 

This fashion includes a leather gold-studded choker. I added gold-tone heart-shaped dangle earrings to her pre-pieced ears.

Here she is once again in a full-length photo.

This Cool Girl Fashion is modeled by straight-haired Elara, who posed from the back in the next two photos.

After folding the scarf into a triangular shape and placing it on Elara 's head, I brought the two sides and the middle ends together. These were held in place with a clear elastic band. (Tying a knot was impossible because the scarf tended to slip off her head.)

To prevent slippage, I inserted a pearl-studded map pin into the scarf above the elastic band and into the doll's head (ouch). 

The above fashion is worn with black wedge heels that are identical to the white pair shown previously. The pants in this fashion also use snaps to close. Impressive.

The other Cool Girl fashion is modeled by the 
Afro diva. She added the black faux handbag, which was a separate purchase, and she wears black pumps from the black shoe set.

I had to use black elastic ties to keep the pumps on the doll's feet. This will also be required if the dolls wear the open-toed pumps shown in this image. (The ankle boots and the wedge heels fit perfectly.)

Other than my failure to order everything in one order and the fact that only two pairs of shoes in each set fit the dolls without using elastic bands (which is not a big issue), I am very pleased with the purchases. 

They struck two final poses together.

I really like these two and the well-made fashions.
