I have all except Kathleen and they are truly treasures! I would be more likely to keep these dolls over any of my 18" AG stuff (Felicity not included in that) just because of how really exquisite the details on them are! I still see new details that I never noticed before! Kathleen was my uber want!  |

But with no music stand, no cello stand, and I heard the rosin isn't real but the original violin's was (though I wouldn't know what a real one looks like), I feel this is a really pricey toy for just displaying (as it makes no noise, whether it be electronic or actual because the bow isn't functional). $48 should have been $56 and included the stand at the very least. How's the poor girl supposed to read her music?
I'd give it a B- for those reasons.

My Kanani was shipped to me directly from AG, and yes, she does have one eye opening slightly smaller than the other but I don't mind it. She looks like me in that way. |

Does anyone know when this set was retired? (Was it before Mattel took over? I don't need an exact year.)

I have both and was just looking at them a couple of days ago - there are definite differences. I have one of the first ones issued and one of the last (in terms of the years they were bought). Some differences I noticed: ~in her flower wreath (the first was so delicate and made from very soft fabric, but the second held up much better and looked more like the fake fabric flowers you can find in craft stores now. They are very good quality). ~There are two differences in the original one's ears versus the newer one - the newer one has a crease in the ear (it's folded a tad to make it stand up/out) but the PM one I have the ears are *almost* flat, the crease is much less defined. Also, the older one's ears are much bigger! ~The newer one is soooo soft and fluffy, like cotton and bushy, but the older one is a skinnier version with shorter fur. ~This could just be mine... but the older one's fur is all greyish and the newer one is white (but the even coloring leads me to believe it may have been released this way? It's not *grey* exactly... just a lite greyish tint. ~The eyes of the Mattel version are a dark chocolate brown, while the PM ones appear to be almost a (lighter) brick brown. ~The tails - PM's tail lays down whereas Mattel's tail stands up! ETA - edited for a mix-up from exhaustion! Now the description reads more accurately! (See pics below!)   Notice the ears and the wreaths The PM one looks skinnier when looking head-on  Tail up - Tail Down  I knew I was forgetting something! The PM one is the tiniest bit heavier than Mattel but neither ways anything close to what Sombrita weighs! (That's one heavy goat! I guess the sheep are lighter because they're all fluff!... Like me! )  Mod edit to combine consecutive posts |

Isabel was my first GOML and I adore her! She's so delicate looking and entricately done, she earns an A A A A all the way home!! I've never had any problems or issues with her hair net or charms, she's just perfect! |

I've got the 'pleather' vest mentioned by a member above and the fit is atrocious! It is huge on the poor doll and doesn't lay right. Now that I know earlier versions fit better I'll buy them! Latest Mattel version - B

I received my set about 15 years ago for Christmas and just dug it out to check on the thimbles and the child's one has the repeating fish symbol. Was 1995 or 1996 around when Felicity first came out?? I'm getting forgetful in my old age, haha! Hope I could help!!
