I picked up my not-Sonali at the MCM sale, knowing that both 46 and 47 have wigs I don't like. I was going for the face I liked the best out of the two doll lines there, and disregarded the wig, hair completely with plans to rewig her with a RRG black brown long wavy wig I have. I'd gotten a Sonali mold doll without hair whose face was not one I liked with eyes too close together, something that crops up often in that mold.
Well, I got my beauty, and though her hair is on the thin side, and yes,it super straight and cut in layers so that the short pieces stick out in many styles, including a simple single pony tail, she really looks good in it,and I wish I'd given the wig a little more attention and gotten a thicker one. I'm actually loathe to scalp her because she looks so darned cute.
I actually got three of them, and the board member for whom I shopped, seems to have also "lost" her rewigging candidate as her daughter has scooped this beautiful doll up as is too. The third one is also just as gorgeous in the face, and has a similar wig--she's being donated in the fall to a charity function.
What can I say? I deliberately ignored the wig, so it's thin. I don't like the layers and the super straightness of her hair but she looks fantastic, adorable, etc just the way she is. Also, she brings s whole fresh new look to my collection. Yes, the actual GOTY friend, Sonali, has a terrific wig, one of my favorites, but then I do have other dolls with the same style whereas this wig that 47 sports is one of a kind in my collection and, yes, she is just absolutely a cutie and I don't think rewigging her is going to improve the way she looks.
I give this doll a 9 out of 10, and only because of the thin wig that I deliberately did not check out when choosing her when I could have. If she had thicker hair, I'd give her the full 10 even though the hair style is not one I like, because clearly it suits her. Also, the darker skin tone over the medium version that AG offers in the dolls without hair line, is much prettier on this doll. She and Cécile are stunners in my collection.
I want to add that her cloth body is very much NOT a peachy or orangey color at all. It 's a beige that is identical to a medium complexioned doll I have, and it's really a bit too light for her, but I prefer it to the orange shade.
