I bought a pre-loved PM Samantha (c. 1995 by the look of her shorter though still appropriately brown lashes, like my 1995 PM Felicity) from a board member. Her hair is a bit dry and crunchy, but it has still retained its original curl, and her face-coloring is simply lovely. Unlike my other PM dolls, who tend to faceplant without the aid of doll stands, Samantha stands up on her own without any issues. And I love her decal eyes... They photograph beautifully, and I'll never have to worry about them going silver!
Though it is a pretty enough dress with its elegant pleats, I never liked Samantha's meet outfit due to the fact that it isn't flattering on her, she only wears in it on the cover of her books, and what is up with those Mary Jane shoes? Samantha consistently wears Edwardian ankle boots except at her birthday party. Grandmary would certainly disapprove.
I'll give her an A, but her Meet outfit is a B and those awful shoes are a D.
