Introducing Anne

Originally, the plan was to have a single male doll repainted by Betty, but the best laid plans and all that jazz; before I knew it, I had three dolls on their way to Australia to get makeovers. That’s why, in my holiday post, their faces were blurred in the background (factory paint wasn’t yet gone).

The package with the repainted versions of the dolls arrived earlier today and I took to social media right away, but I thought I should do a proper introduction here. Besides, it gives me an excuse to take more pictures - and oh my goodness, will there ever be pictures!

Red-headed made to move dolls have a cute face without having them repainted; the freckles are a nice touch and the eyes are pretty. That being said, I’m not a fan of the ultra-pink lips, and she looked very plastic and fake in images posing with Eve. I couldn’t bear to waste her articulation, or her carrot-colored locks, so I asked Betty if she could take inspiration (though not do an exact copy) from one of my favorite characters: “Anne of Green Gables”, as portrayed by Meagan Follows.

The result, as with Eve, is fantastic. I’m smitten!

As a bonus, because she also has a made to move body type, she already has access to Eve’s extensive, stylish wardrobe.  However, beyond giving Eve a friend, I don’t have any concrete plans for this lovely, freckle-spattered creature just yet. I’ll likely end up fleshing out a story for her, too, but Eve is still the star of this show/blog.

I’ll introduce the other two dolls in the coming days - I’m excited, are you? As always, thanks so much for stopping by.
