Game On Outfit (2021-2023)

[omar]

Includes: Long sleeved red hoodie with hook and loop tape up the back and x-box logo controller screen printing on the front, black jeans with subdued lines along right knee, left thigh and shin, gray cloth sneakers with red tongue and white accent screen printing.

The outfit retails at $28 USD. It's slightly higher priced than similar outfits, but its very good and worth the money.

The hoodie fits well, but snug on even Mattel dolls. I usually put many modern Mattel AG tops on other brand fully vinyl dolls that are slimmer and have strung elbow and knee joints. The neck hole of the hoodie seems to be smaller, and I had to really push to get it on. It's another reason I don't always dress dolls in hoodie tops that "pull over"

The jeans fit very well on Mattel dolls and might be snug on PC dolls. They're made from a medium weight denim and don't seem to have much stretch to them. I personally like that in doll jeans (and human jeans)

The shoes also fit well and look good. They're a heather gray material with a red tongue and white elastic laces sewn in. They slip on and off a doll's feet and can be worn with or without socks that are not included.

The outfit is nice, gender neutral and works well for both girl dolls and boy dolls.

This outfit has been on my wish list for a while, and I'm very happy with it now that I have it!  I really like that it's unisex, and the pieces work well for mix-and-match too.

The hoodie is a nice weight, and it didn't seem too snug on my girls.  The sleeves have enough give that they can be pushed up, which I like.  The hood in the back has a cutout to make it easier to put over the doll's head, which may be a problem if you take pictures and wanted one of the doll from behind with the hood up, but when the hood is down it isn't noticeable.  By far my favorite piece, the hoodie gets an A+ from me.

The jeans are a nice color and I think they'll go well with lots of things, but they're very stiff and kind of papery feeling, which I don't love.  I don't think they would fit older, chunkier dolls but I was able to get them on Kitty (21), who is a little bigger than some of the newer dolls.  They have "distressed" areas that are just printed on in a lighter shade than the rest of the jeans.  Personally I'm not a fan of that, I wish they just hadn't included it at all.  They get a B- because I am not a fan of how they feel and I think the distressing is silly, but otherwise they're nice pants.

The shoes surprised me because they are very roomy - they're secure, but they have extra room at the toes.  It was easy to get them on and off my dolls' feet and I think they could probably go on older dolls without too much trouble.  They're pretty simple but I think the red tongues are super cute.  An A for the shoes.

Overall I'd give this outfit an A.  It's basic but cute and it has good potential to mix with other outfits.  Also I'm a big nerd and I enjoy that my dolls can wear this and be big nerds too! 8)
