I just got a PM Felicity as part of a TLC lot on Ebay. I wasn't going to keep her, but my two daughters and I all think she is the prettiest doll we've seen, and mutually decided she was staying.
I've always been partial to Felicity and my oldest DD has a Mattel Felicity, so we had a lot of fun comparing the two. The PM one is definitely shorter and chubbier (even more so than other PM dolls we have). Her hair and eyes are lighter, she has the red eyelashes that match her hair, and very minimal face paint. Since she came from Ebay, I am not sure of her age, but I think she might be one of the older PM dolls. Her face looks different than other PM dolls we have with the same (classic) mold. Her vinyl is also different than our other PM dolls. It does not seem as smooth, and it doesn't get the same shiny look to it.
This is sort of unrelated, but I would also like to say that I am happy that Felicity's hair is supposed to be back in a ponytail, because the one we got had her hair trimmed slightly in the front on both sides. I would have thought that this would drive me crazy, even in a ponytail, but it's really not noticeable once it's back. I am usually a terrible perfectionist, but I think this is such a gorgeous doll in otherwise perfect condition, that I can overlook it.
