Grade: F
I purchased this pair of glasses solely to review and subsequently return. And believe you me, there is no way I would have kept these glasses! The Lilac Glasses were originally wire-framed, sold under the part # F0791. The catalogue and website both continue to have the original, wire-rimmed lilac glasses. However, at AGPNY, for the past two months, they have been replaced by the new version- #F0791-CF1A.
The glasses appear to be the same as the new brown oval glasses, which appeared at approximately the same time (Fall 2008 release). They are made of a shiny purple plastic. I found them to be considerably less realistic than the previous, wire incarnation. Furthermore, they are the least realistic AG glasses ever, because of the extremely shiny, thick plastic.
The glasses arrive in the same plastic case as the other types of glasses, with the same purple case that many of the other pairs have.
I am attaching photographs of the glasses on various facemolds. Their one positive is that they are rather tight, so they don't seem as likely to slide off the face of the doll, as the rectangle-type glasses were liable to do.
