Got my Mini Rebecca today! Her lovely lush curls showed from even the unopened box.
Her hair is beautiful, but has a tendency to quickly become frizzy. I was able to style it back into place, but one has to be careful.
The boots are a good replica and even open with velcro. The dress is okay- I would have preferred a different one to be her Meet dress, but this may just be my personal preference. I like how the embroidery does a good job with replicating buttons. The barrette is cute.
The stockings- they did the same thing as with the Samantha doll, which may have been historically inaccurate. And like with the Samantha mini, it made the doll look heavy around the middle. So I just snipped them into thigh-high stockings- makes the dress fit better. From what I hear, the Rebecca doll has thigh-highs rather than tights, but I could have misread.
I like the eye color- it is more of a light brown/amber than the hazel green of the big doll. It resembles the illustrations very much. The face mold is very nice and works well for her. The hair color is lighter than Samantha's, and just a tad lighter than Molly's (looks more like it has highlights rather than just being overall lighter), but still darker than Inga's.
Overall, I give this mini doll an A. The plus is missing because of the stocking issue and because the hair gets frizzy very easily. But otherwise a very good mini doll. My girls are very pleased with her.
