*REVIEW* JLY 9 vs Samantha

  1. They are both beautiful dolls. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought they were both Samantha.I agree that they don't make as many dolls with bangs now. American Girl only has six Truly Me dolls with bangs on their site. I would love to see more of your collection. Madelon

  2. I've noticed that there are hardly anymore Truly Me dolls that have straight across bangs, while a few years ago, they were all like that. And I mean nearly all of them! Maybe that's why they added the 'Doll Dos' for the dolls (clip on bangs and curls)...

  3. I am trying to get an updated photo together of all of the different types of dolls I have. Right now I am getting them ready to showcase for the holidays...Melody being the latest one down to my mother's doll being her favorite that we now share. Unfortunately I seem to be having a hard time getting it back for my turn. But I have noticed the bang extensions and the trend in doll wigs. Dolls reflect the changes in time and young girls today seem to prefer no bangs. Very different from the Full House DJ, Stephanie and Michelle look aka my childhood.

  4. The Pleasant Company era will probably always be my favorite. Despite the hunchback shoulders, the faces on the early dolls often strike me as having more details... little nuances that show up more because the molds were new. I also find that I like the wider, more open faces. Particularly the oval eye shapes that are more even. Eyelash colors that varied with the doll's hair color! Fully formed ears!

    Today? I can't see myself as ever purchasing the optional bangs attachment for my bangless dolls, however. I DO find that dolls without bangs can offer greater styling versatility than dolls with bangs.
