And some shots after I curled her hair in ringlet style like Rarity really has:
All in all, she's a cute doll. Not really sure if I'm getting 'Rarity' from her face, but....she's cute anyway. She has non-jointed arms and legs, but they are 'swivel' attached, which at least, gives for some posing ability! (Her hips and arms swing out, up, down, backwards, in a circle.) She feels really well made with some weight to her and her hair is so super soft! She has 'glittery' eyeshadow and while her eyes aren't horribly painted, they ARE a teeny, weeny bit 'cast' (as most MH and now MLP dolls seem to have) so I might retouch them a bit to give her a more 'Rarity' look to them. Maybe a coy 'sideways' glance. ^^ I love side-glancing dolls.
She came with a mini 'booklet' that you cut up (perforated 'cards') into individual girls---doll version on one side and their cartoon counterpart on the reverse:
I wish Rarity had been one of the deluxe dolls with the jointed arms and legs but I snapped her up, even without them, just in case this line flops and they disappear from stores at decent prices. I bought her for just $14.99 with free shipping from Amazon but the day after I ordered her, they were all gone from their website. They had everyone but Twilight and Applejack! ACK!
I'm still on the hunt for an Applejack for my sister! If anyone knows where I can buy one, let me know?
