I got my Addy today, and she's beautiful, she looks better IRL than in pictures!
That said, on mine, the earrings seem to sit a bit more "off" than on the others I've seen, her joints seem kinda loose (though she can still stand up) compared to the other dolls I've gotten new, the book came a little bit warped, and you can see the skin of her wig cap a tiny bit in the front which looks a little odd. Though the wig bit was easily fixed with a black Sharpie. I was testing her joints a bit and wondering if they were dumping the returned and passed over dolls on the people that ordered the Christmas specials, and briefly wondered if it was bad enough to send her back (before I found she'd still stand up) and she just shot me a look that said "Don't you dare!", so that's that. Since she's not one of the ones I might consider reselling later, I don't need absolute perfection and incredibly tight limbs to prove she wasn't played with. And I think she'd kill me if I tried!
I took her hair down to check the rest of the wig, seems to be ok. Can't figure out how exactly to stick it back up like it was before, though. Her hair's less nappy than my PM Kirsten's - it feels a *lot* like mine. It's softer than my Samantha's when you lean your face on it, as I'm doing now to keep her upright on my lap while I type.
That said, I'm changing her history so that she made it all the way to Canada, rather than stopping in Philadelphia!
