Saige Doll and Meet Outfit

I picked out Saige the end of last month from AGPLA. I've been eyeing her all year and finally decided I wanted her in my collection, since I was lacking a doll with the classic face. As mentioned in an earlier review, many of the dolls had uneven eyes and I had to go through several to find one which did not look like she was squinting in one eye. I also had issues with the placement of the eyebrows on many of the dolls, most were clear on the doll's forehead and gave a shocked/bewildered/startled expression. I stumbled upon this gal and knew she was the one.

Taking out the rope braid, the hair is a nice length but is a bit frizzy and dry on the ends. I thought it was odd that she came with a "Care for Your Doll with STRAIGHT hair" hang tag when she clearly has wavy locks. Also interesting to note is how the hang tag is now printed in English and French, possibly in a move for our Québécois friends.

The meet dress is a little plain but looks great when jazzed up with her meet accessories. Her generic blue underwear is not printed with her logo like past GOTY, which I find disappointing. Her logo is subtlety used on her earrings. At the store the display dolls had the ring over her index finger and it slid off quite easily but when placed on the ring finger as pictured in the catalog, it holds in place well.

Saige looks surprisingly mature when placed next to my other dolls and I am surprised I like her more than I thought I would.
