64 - lt skin, black hair, br eyes, Jess RETIRED

[123hollyhock]

Here's my #64 straight out of the box and I think she's beautiful. I noticed right away that her eyes were wonky in that one was higher than the other and the other was smaller. I took a look at the stock photo on American Girl and that doll has the same problem. Definitely something to consider when you decide to buy this one.

Here she is side by side with Ivy. #64's hair looks dark brown not black, when next to Ivy. The brown eye color is a different shade as well. Overall I give #64 an A- because of the wonky eye issue. Otherwise she is wonderful with her silky, medium length hair and lovely facial expression.

I bought my #64 on 5/30/15 at AGPSTL. Like the previous person said the eyes are still different sizes. I went through several dolls and it definitely varies from doll to doll, but I think has been improved compared to the old Jess mold. Her hair is extremely silky and fun to play with.

I hope to add pictures soon. I decided on #64 on the rush, as I was originally holding off until I would go to a store in late June. The WS coupon was an incentive to buy now.

Some quick thoughts:

I like the addition of the Ivy-like eye paint. Looking at it, I do not see additional notches, only paint to give the appearance. My impression is that AG is giving more distinct East Asian-looking options to the lineup.

The wig reminds me of the same coloring and feel of #25's and #60's wigs, silky with a mix of black and dark brown hairs. In fact, #64's wig may actually be the same wig as #25. However, I do not have access to a #25 to do a direct comparison, only past memory of one I briefly owned. But like #25's wig, it is even cut all around, not layering like #30's or #60's wig. So it has a good thickness. The length falls about halfway down on the back.

This is a doll you may or may not want to have a higher wig placement, depending on your preferences. Similar to Isabelle, the wig if placed too low, may be apt to falling over the face. But given how the wigs have been placed higher lately, I was genuinely surprised my #64 came with a lower placed wig.

Overall, I like the doll. If you are looking between #25, #30, #40 and #64, I would recommend #25 or #64 if you want a decently thick wig that is long enough to do styles with. And off-hand, the main difference between #25 and #64 is simply the mold. Grade: A

Edit: Picture finally added!

I just got #64, and she is just darling. I had to go through a couple boxes to find one where the eyes weren't crooked, but once I found her, I was in love.

Her hair is so soft and silky, and is easy to work with. She definitely gets an A.

This doll is a real beauty! I, too, had difficulty finding one with even eyes, but after looking through about 10 dolls, I found my sweet Yukiko. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Here she is in the PS room at AGP-Chicago, right after her ear piercing!



And some photos of her at home, after my attempt at taming her crazy, fresh-out-of-the-box wig. :

This is Harlow! She came home with me last May from AGP Chicago right after she was released. She is super cute and so photogenic.

Please meet Carson "Birdy" Birdwell! I think 64 is a really sweet doll. When I saw 64 initially, I knew I'd end up with her. I actually customized the first one I got with grey eyes, but I wanted one to keep in stock condition as well. Her hair is so shiny and dark and it's a great length! Really, I think she's my favorite Jess mold Truly Me doll.
