I ordered Courtney 20 minutes after her release... and due to FedEx being FedEx, I've still yet to receive the package (she's been in shipping limbo for 2 weeks now). I called AG CS a little over a week ago and they offered to get me a free return label if I decided to buy another Courtney – so I went down to AGDC and picked one out in person.
She is absolutely adorable.
I was initially disappointed by the leaks (not in the least because AG has plenty of white blonde classic mold dolls), and I'm not a huge fan of the classic mold (I say even though most of my favorite dolls are classic molds), but she is SO much cuter in person!
I renamed mine Mirjam and made her a West Berlin girl to fit in with my other 80s dolls better, but she is easily one of the most adorable dolls I've ever seen.
Her hair is probably my favorite thing about her - it's not crunchy like the CYO curly hair or Gabriela's hair. It's soft and what's more: it looks and feels like naturally curly hair for once!
No, the hair isn't perfectly uniformly curly. Courtney (as a character) has naturally curly hair, and it shows in the doll. I love her curls so much for that reason!
Her coloring is interesting and unique; while her lip paint, hair color, and eye color can give the impression in stock photos (or even non-stock solo photos) that she has the lightest skin tone (like Blaire), she actually has the same old "normal" light skin tone that AG's been using since 1986.
Her hair is definitely more of a honey blonde with hints of strawberry, and her eyes are darker than the regular blue; here she is with my Lindsey and my Nellie:
As you can see, her hair and eye color aren't terribly far off from Nellie, although Nellie's hair is redder and her eyes are darker.
There does seem to be a trend with some Courtney dolls having "shorter" teeth (most likely an issue of where the stamp fell in production), but when I picked mine out in person, I found the "shorter" teeth more charming and endearing on her, so that's what I went for. I know not everyone is inclined to agree, but I think she's perfect.
Easily an A+ from me
