My 2nd Rainbow High Doll

Daria Roselyn is from the Rainbow High Series 3 collection.

A gift from a Facebook friend, Daria Roselyn from the Rainbow High Series 3 collection is an 11-inch, all-vinyl doll with multiple points of articulation and removable hands. She has two fashions that can be mixed and matched (described below).

Daria Roselyn and the other dolls in Rainbow High Series 3 are illustrated on the back of the box. They are from L-R: Daria Roselyn, Georgia Bloom, Daphne Minton, Gabriella Icely, and Emi Vanda.

 
Daria is shown with the boxed second fashion, boxed high-heel shoes, pink comb, and packaged accessories that include a pink doll stand, a pink clothes hanger, and a pink skirt hanger.

Daria wears outfit 1

Outfit 1
Daria Roselyn was dressed by the manufacturer in a sheer dress that is lined in black satin. The print of the spaghetti-strap dress is diamond-shaped with the word, Magic, within. A white short-sleeved crop top is worn under the dress.  Daria wears a cropped denim jacket, one half of which is dark blue and the other half is light pink. The jacket has cold shoulder sleeves and embroidered roses on the sleeves and on the back. Black rose-print sheer ankle socks and shiny black platform-soled black ankle boots with rose decorations on the sides complete this look. 

Daria's long rooted pink hair is styled in a top ponytail with the rest worn down. Her big blue eyes are shadowed in dark pink and heavily lined in black on the upper eyelids. There are painted upper and lower eyelashes along with bristle upper eyelashes.

With the denim jacket removed, Daria strikes a pose.

Daria wears fashion #2 with the socks from fashion #1.

Outfit 2
The second fashion is a two-piece black pinstriped cropped top and mini skirt that has embroidered roses on both pieces. High-heel pink shoes with gold heels and a black vinyl handbag with a rose on the top front closure complete this look. With this, she continued wearing the ankle socks from outfit #1.

Still wearing fashion #2, Daria poses on her pink doll stand.

Daria Roselyn poses with Phaedra Westward from the Rainbow High Pacific Coast Series. Their head sculpts differ slightly. Daria Roselyn’s head has the copyright year of 2020. Phaedra’s copyright year headmark is 2021. Phaedra has exchangeable legs; the series 3 dolls do not.

In the final photo above, Daria Roselyn meets Phaedra Westward, my first Rainbow High doll that was introduced here.

I really appreciate the thoughtful gesture of my Facebook friend who sent Daria Roselyn to me. Do I need more? There is one more Rainbow High doll that I might buy for myself. We shall see.

Here is Daria Roselyn's Amazon buy link.

Opportunity to Win Entire Line of Fresh Dolls

Fresh Dolls and Fashions by World of EPI as seen on the shelf at Walmart:  Mia, Lynette, and Indigo are three of the six dolls in this line.

Have you seen the new fashion dolls from World of EPI?  They are called Fresh.  Their complexions vary from light, medium, to deep.  They have different hair colors and textures.  Their facial features and bodies are better representations of women of color.  The dolls are posable with extra articulation at the elbows and knees. 

I have not had the opportunity to debox and thorough review the ones I own.  This will be done soon!  While at Walmart, I took the above and following photos of in-stock dolls and fashions and picked up a few of the fashions for my dolls.  With the exception of Gabrielle, it appears that Walmart had all dolls in stock.

The Deluxe Set dolls retail at Walmart for $24.88.  Indigo and Jacqueline, shown above, are Deluxe Set dolls.  They both have an extra fashion.

Before "she" realized I already own her, Deluxe Set Jacqueline took a leap into my shopping cart.

Tamra has a lovely medium complexion that her orange fashion complements well.  She is a basic doll that retails for $9.88 at Walmart.

Lovely Lynette, another basic doll, has the deepest complexion.

I am personally partial to Mia because she has big hair like me, but all the dolls are beautiful.

These are the fashion packs that were available.  They are reasonably priced at $4.88.
