I went to a wonderful little doll store I found nearby today. I saw this girl on the shelf, and noticed she was ball-jointed:

Doing some further research I found out she is an 8-inch tall Effanbee Betsy McCall doll. Apparently she is also made of resin. She is really quite lovely, and I was just wondering if anybody has heard of her before? ^^

She looks like the Tiny Betsy McCall that is mentioned in Japanese magazines like Dolly Dolly and Dolly Bird. She definitely has her fans.

That's definitely a Tiny Betsy McCall. The original Betsy McCall doll was first a promotional doll, and then a doll you could buy in stores, that was based on a paper doll that appeared in every issue of McCall's Magazine. She has so many nostalgic fans that the dolls have been re-issued. It's relatively easy to find clothing for her, and patterns to make clothing as well.
