47 - dk skin, dk brown hair, br eyes, Sonali RETIRED

I purchased "Rimple" from the DC/Virginia store last month. Very cute doll but the wig is a mess. It's supposed to be a layered cut but instead appears to be hacked by a pair of scissors. The front pieces are are extremely off kilter from the rest of the hair length thus impairing ease of styling. MAJOR shedding after first brushing and she had a large clump of hair fall out yesterday (again, I've only had this doll for a month now). Texture of hair is stick straight and smooth, quite similar to Julie's. Issues aside, hair is low maintenance and a quick brush has the doll looking in order.

Overall, I still enjoy this doll. She looks great in many pieces and I have a growing appreciation of the Sonali mold and wanted to have a doll in my collection representing South Asian descent.

Grade: B-


Hopefully in the pic below you can make out the differences in length of the hair:
