I went to the store today with every intention of buying Ashlyn but somehow ended up with Emerson. They are all so stinking cute! It's really hard to decide which one I like best when they are all staring at me! I snapped a few quicky cell phone pictures.
I'm one of those odd people that actually like the non-blinking glass eyes. They eyelashes and eyebrows are nicely painted and I like the glossy lips. There's just something about these dolls that make them look like they want to be your friend!
Her meet outfit is a one-piece top with velcro closure in back, elastic waist skirt, pink undies, wellies and 2 ponytail holders. On par with the rest of AG quality.

Her pigtails are adorable and I will put them back in but I wanted to see what she looked like with her hair down. I ended up having to cut the little elastics because they were so tight and I was afraid of ripping out much hair trying to remove them. Chances are that if you gave her to a little girl, straight from the box, those little pigtails would remain the same for some time to come!
So after I finally got the elastics out (2 on each side, one to hold the pigtail and one to fold the pigtail back on it's self and then topped with the pink ponytail holders) all I did was finger comb her hair and it looks really cute. It's so soft and silky and I love seeing those curls bounce between my fingers!
After I took these pictures, I tired to control her curls with a brush, some water and finger curling but those curls really have a mind of their own and would not do what I wanted them to do! It may be easier to control after it relaxes a little (those pigtails were really tight!) but I think combing it with my fingers worked just fine! The first time I brushed it with the brush caused a quite a bit of shedding. It was no more than any other new doll that comes with pigtails but I still find that first flush of hairs all over my lap a little disturbing! But her wig is very thick and I really had to dig to find the wig cap. Those rows of hair are very close together so I think she has plenty of hair to spare!
I kind of like the scale of these little one's as younger siblings to the 18" dolls. Pixie happily adopted Emerson to be her little sister. However, the one thing I dislike is that Emerson's ultra-fair complexion makes all of my light skinned dolls look sallow and sickly, some more than others!
I think the price is a little steep for these dolls but obviously not so steep that it stopped me from buying one and chances are it probably won't stop me from buying another one someday. But if they were $40, 2 of them would have followed me home today!
