Wanted to add a bit about my Rebecca! My husband gave me a Be Forever Rebecca for Christmas a few days ago which was wonderful, but I was so disappointed by how thin her wig was but, more importantly, that her eyes were different sizes and the right one was sort of pushed in so it looked like that eye looked down and to the right. Of course I was too scrambled with the holiday to take photos. :/
We went to AG Dallas and got a replacement but I had to look through every single Rebecca they had (maybe a dozen) to find only two that didn't have the same degree of eye issue. Because the first doll was shipped to us, I didn't expect to see the same eye issue in store. The one I wound up with, I absolutely adore, but even she has one eye slightly smaller than the other, which I don't see in most of the pictures people have previously posted in reviews. The second Rebecca's wig also seems a bit thicker but it may just be that her hair wasn't as scrunched immediately out of the box. Her legs are so tight she can barely sit but I figure that'll ease up in time.
All in all, I do adore Rebecca and am so glad to have her in my collection. She's got such a cute little chipmunk face and I do think she's one of the prettiest dolls AG has ever made. I think she reminds me more of my Kanani than any other doll, certainly more than my other Josefina mold dolls. I just had not realized ahead of time that her eyes would have such an issue and would suggest taking a look if that's a thing you care about!
Also her little gold hair clip is pretty terrible and her purple hat doesn't really go on her head. I find I like her purple dress more than I expected (except for the polka dots on the cuffs and collar; why??). It's much better quality than most of the other Be Forever clothes I've been buying lately. Her necklace and shoes are precious too. I still prefer her old meet outfit though. Gorgeous doll, eye issues aside!
Eyes are similar enough it's not noticeable in pictures, and only in person if you are really, really looking.
Curls about 15 minutes out of the hair net.
