41 - lt skin, black/brown hair, green eyes, classic RETIRED

This is the doll that made my daughter excited about dolls, so I have a soft spot in my heart for her. When we saw her last month on an impromptu stop at AGP Chicago, my daughter, who has up to this point been lukewarm about dolls, fell in love. We had actually offered to buy her a Kanani and she said "No thank you", but she had to have this doll. Interestingly, when we saw 41 in the display case and then found her in her box, we all thought she had brown eyes. I thought I'd missed the release of a doll who truly looked like my DD with shoulder-length curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. It wasn't until we read her description card that we saw her eyes were green (but DD was still sold on her). As DD carried her around in different stores and outside we were amazed at how different the doll's eyes looked. I tried to capture some of these different colors on camera with little success, but if you scroll through the other images in this review thread you can get a good idea.

It's interesting since so many people's eyes do look very different in different lights. They're very lovely.

I was a little concerned about the curly hair since my daughter is on the younger side, but I think the length makes it more manageable. (Also I had to think outside of the collector box since this is my daughter's doll, not mine, and she will actually play with it!) It's a nice length for maintenance and still long enough to do 2 ponytails with or a small flip. She is a beautiful doll--an "A" in my book.
