Maylin's Return

Maylin by Paola Reina of Spain

Maylin was first introduced in my after-Christmas post about redressed and new dolls. In that post, there was only one picture of Maylin. I included the fact that she was a gift from a doll friend and a promise that I would take more pictures of her. Maylin returns today with those pictures.

Maylin has brown eyes with rooted upper eyelashes.

She wears a pretty (mostly) pink knit dress that has a beaded flower stitched to the bodice.

The beaded flower is better illustrated in this picture along with the drawstring pink ribbon at the waist.

Maylin's straight black rooted hair extends below the hem of her dress.

This profile photo illustrates the bow of the drawstring waist ribbon.

Here is an additional full-length photo of this 13-inch all-vinyl doll.

With her pretty pink dress, Maylin wears white socks and pink Mary-Jane-style shoes.

Photos with Cousins

Maylin has several cousins that were photographed with her. 

Zuri and Ndanaka by Sibahle, which are also Paola Reina dolls, appear to be taller than Maylin, but it's all in the hair. They are all 13 inches tall. (Zuri represents someone with albinism while Ndanaka represents someone with vitiligo.)

A closeup with her Sibahle cousins

Chadwick (named by me) is her blue-eyed, brown-skinned cousin. They are about the same height.

Chadwick is also a Paola Reina doll.

Her younger cousins, Sarabi and Omar from Vestida de Azul's Carlota Collection were happy to take pictures with Maylin.

Closeup of the young cousins and Maylin; the younguns are 11 inches tall.

Maylin took two final photos with all her cousins.

The cousins from L-R are Ndanaka, Chadwick, Serabi, Maylin, Omar, and Zuri.

Their clothing and complexions create a burst of color!

Thank you again, BA, for the Maylin Christmas gift. Her cousins thank you, too!

Sibahle Collection Kickstarter

Ndanaka is Sibahle Collections' next planned doll.  Photo from Instagram.

Sibahle Collection is a relatively new line of dolls.  Their mission is to bring dolls of color to the market for "girls to embrace their natural beauty" and "to encourage children of all races to embrace and celebrate diversity."  The line currently includes Black, Asian, mixed race dolls and a doll that represents albinism.

Sibahle Collection has a Kickstarter campaign that includes several doll rewards, one of which is Ndanaka, a doll that represents the condition of vitiligo.  Ndanaka means, "I am beautiful" in Shona.

By selecting Ndanaka and for a total pledge of approximately $53, which includes shipping, if the Kickstarter funding goal is met, Ndanaka will be the reward with expected delivery in March 2019.

Navigate to the Kickstarter, which ends on December 12, 2018, here.

For more information about Sibahle Collection visit their website or their Etsy Shop for other in-stock dolls and merchandise that can be purchased now.
