Will add pictures later ...
My Molly was my first doll ever from AG, received in 1994 as a First Communion gift from my parents. I wanted her first because she had glasses like me and also we share the same birthday.
The doll has held up above average. Being she was my first, I played with her a lot, and was not as careful as I was with my dolls after Molly.
The pluses:
- She has a soft huggable body
- I love her hair plus eye colour combo
- Her outfit felt very practical for her time period
The minuses:
- Her hair has become really dry. I attempted to wash it once with baby shampoo, and it helped a little, but it is still very dry.
- Her left eye has the awful silver eye. I am not sure when this happened, as I had Molly stored away while I was in high school and college. But I don't want to send her in, because I like her soft eyelashes.
- Her shoes. Those awful thin vinyl Mary Janes. I think saddle shoes would have been better, and more age appropriate.
- Her glasses. They never consistently stayed on her face, and I broke them some time ago. The shape of the ear piece just made it difficult to stick around her ear, especially with her hair in the braids. I have ordered the newer Mattel ones, as poor Molly has been going blind for over 10 years.
Otherwise, I love Molly, even if her stories were not my top favourites. Her raincoat and umbrella is my favourite outfit to put her in, as I just think it is so adorable.
