The Prettie Girls! Tween Scene Dolls

One World Dolls has extended the Prettie Girls! line with their new Tween Scene dolls/

The 16-inch Tween Scene doll line by One World Dolls was developed through a partnership with Robert Tonner of Tonner Dolls.  According to their press release:

The Prettie Girls! Tween Scene is a line of 16 inch dolls that are representative of younger versions of the multi-cultural characters from the current Prettie Girls! line with 2 new additions, Hana, an Asian American and Alexie, a Caucasian. Other dolls in the Tween Scene line include Lena an African-American, Dahlia a South Asian, Kimani an African native and Valencia who is Hispanic American.

Follow the next link and click/tap the Tween Scene logo to open the album of all Tween Scene dolls at the company's website.

Read the press release here.



On first glance, I had hoped the dolls were produced in a 9- to 10-inch "Skipper" size.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.  Weigh in if you'd like in a comment on your first impression of the dolls.

Mike and Mike

My two Michael Jordan playscale figures were purchased as heads only, now placed on action figure bodies.  HeadPlay and Cian are the makers.  Seen here on the blog before in other posts, they return today in celebration of Jordan's birthday.  He was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York.
 
The Cian figure (on the right) is not a portrait of the now retired professional basketball player.  The one by HeadPlay on the left  unmistakably represents MJ. 

Read more about the real MJ here.
