DOLL: Dark Skin, Brown Eyes (retired)

Here's a pic of my new BB gal. Her name is Summer Joy (her bear is Pippi - like someone's doll listed above!) She is just the sweetest most adorable little baby ever! One of the reasons I picked her is because this review panel said that her head scuffs less easily than the other BBs. I asked the CS about that and she (who has over 25 BBs!) agrees that this doll's head scuffs less than the others and suggested that one could have the other dolls wear bonnets to protect them. Good luck having a child use a bonnet all the time on their doll! Anyway, I give this baby an A+. She has gorgeous skin, with a little pink in the cheeks, and pretty little lips and looks good in everything! She also smells really great. The same CS said that the newer Bitties have been changed to have their skin less shiny. Hers isn't shiny at all, so perhaps that is true. The vinyl is harder than my 18" dolls. Her outfit is very soft and pretty. I haven't read the book yet so no comment on that. It seems nice that there are spaces for the doll owner (or his/her parent) to write details about the new dolly. I checked 5 boxes to make sure the doll's eyes rolled nice and smoothly. I was satisfied with 2/5 boxes on this account. The BB has a current price of $42 for doll, book, and bear.

I just love Summer and am now a BB convert.
