Nicki is probably my favorite doll. (Shhhh...don't tell the others 
)
Hair: Her wig is very thin. So thin, in fact, that you can see it when she is just standing there. She has a bald patch that is obvious if you put her hair in certain styles. Her hair has also gotten very dry, and has lost most of its curl. The curl loss is probably due to my using the wire hairbrush instead of the hair pick...whoops. :
Her hair came to me relatively dry, but has just gotten worse over the years. I have tried to re-curl her hair with sponge curlers, but it only curled the front parts, so the back of her head is more wavy now. Her hair is a beautiful caramel color, and I think it works well with her face and such . It looks like it is different colors in certain areas...like a lighter blond on the top of her head, and closer to brown in parts lower down or under other pieces of hair. Really nice. I'll give her hair a solid B, because of the dryness and curl problems.
Meet Outfit: It doesn't bother me that the blouse is a blouse and underwear bodysuit kind of thing. I can see how it would bother others, though, the problem being that you can't un-tuck the blouse and that there are no separate undies. Personally, I like having the blouse tucked, and the underwear problem was easy enough to fix. The bodysuit thing is really pretty; I actually had the girl sized version for a while, and would wear it to school and around. So, B+ for the bodysuit thing. (I would have given it an A, but since the underwear thing might bother others, I decided to give it the B+.)
The skirt is really nice. I like the color, and I think the embroidery is very well done. I don't mind that the belt is attached. I think I might have lost it if it wasn't, or obsessed over getting it tied right. Having it sewn on just makes it easier. However, my skirt is a little tight around the waist. It also rides up, and then seems extremely short. I think I'll give the skirt a solid A, because aside from the tightness and the shortness, it feels like a quality item.
The boots are VERY cute. Mine aren't hard to get on, but they take a little tugging sometimes. They have a lot of mix and match potential, and feel well made. I would have liked to get a pair of socks, it's true, but that was also a problem that was easy enough to solve. A for the boots.
The pieces of the outfit are all very nice, and look nice together. However, there were only 3 items, which for the price at the time ($87, I believe) seems a little outrageous. It would have been better if they had included some socks or undies. So, all things considered, I'll give the meet outfit a solid A.
Doll: I got my Nicki in July of 2007. My doll has no apparent mutations, and is actually extremely cute. I'm a sucker for freckles, and Nicki's are adorable. I think that they match the color of her hair, if that makes sense. My Nicki has beautiful coloring; rosy cheeks and pretty pink lips. Her limbs are tight, but not to tight, and her body is very soft and squishy. She is noticeably squishy; my Molly is this way as well, and I got her around the same time (In July of '07 as well). She is not so squishy that I can bend her over all the way, but she is close. It is this way with my Molly as well. Does anyone else have a doll like this? It doesn't concern me, but I would just like to know. So, with all of this taken into account, I will give the doll an A+. Nicki is a really gorgeous doll, and if you are thinking about getting her, I would say don't hesitate
. Even though she has been retired so long, and she seems to have hit or miss hair. She is a really great doll .
Everybody likes pictures, right? I just thought that maybe I'd add one of my own.
