While the Model Muse bodies are beautifully sculpted, they need to be articulated. <br /><br />ShootingStar Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037732032421420309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-13484925367211480952015-02-09T15:14:31.849-05:002015-02-09T15:14:31.849-05:00The "forest" line doesn't appeal to ...The "forest" line doesn't appeal to me at all. The reasons I buy dolls and clothes (at least now) are for the glamour/edginess and the possibilities for redress/restyle. The elf and this doll seem limited in that respect. To each her/his own!<br /><br />The Shamrock doll has a lovely face, and I'm a fan of redheads. The outfit isn't great, but I will probably pick her up because she is so attractive. I really liked last year's Valentine doll, despite the holes-in-the-feet-for-the-#1-feel. I just picked up some reproduction shoes, and she redresses nicely. :-)<br /><br />Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086194748915239386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-54305232109544936862015-01-29T15:04:45.277-05:002015-01-29T15:04:45.277-05:00I love her skirt and bodice, but not so much the p...I love her skirt and bodice, but not so much the plastic accessories.

Many people dont like how manly her face is. Shes the Louboutin mold and that has always looked manly to me no matter what doll it was. Ill see how i feel about her when she arrives, wont be till February. <br /><br />The one thing I am so happy about that they learned from is that her fashion is not sew on as the elfs was. I hope that they continue this going on in that series.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812316476314998778noreply@blogger.com
