This morning I went to a big toy shop near my university in order to adequate celebrate a successful exam with a new doll, hoping in some Monster's High, or maybe some Fashionistas fair priced than the ones in my local shop. Well, at first glance I apparently found nothing: no Monster's High, and only the creepy looking lady Gaga Fashionista with lights in the belly. But looking with more attention I made a (for me) really interesting discovery.
First, I finally found what doll was the one I used for my Lita Halford cosplay doll. A Tanya, a brand of doll I've seen only in Italy: i didn't recognized her because this doll has changed a lot in the new version, and I was still thinking to the '90 version. Second, I found this particular Tanya:

I was almost shocked. Tanya dolls were always terribly plain compared to Barbies, and this emo/scene/goth version broke all my convictions. I loved from the first glance the face-up (and I have a soft spot for strange colored hair) but the outfit is really plain, on the limit of bad manufacturing. I wanted something better on a 12 euro doll ( I can buy a fashionista for 13... and she has joint). But in the end I bought her. She has a really pale complexion, close to Obitsu white, that I never seen "in the flesh" on a playline doll, so I preferred to take her. Probably I'll try her head on the body of my Obitsu and see the effect, if it will be good she will probably became my 3rd Obitsu girl...

She's pretty, I am loving that shade of pink hair. I've never heard of the Tanya dolls before(but I live in the US, so that could be why :)). I agree about the outfit though. Congrats on a new doll, and for having a good exam!

She's very beautiful. And I have never heard about Tanya dolls before. That's too bad, because now I kinda want one as well. :D

WANT.

Want at least the outfit--Cherry's salivating on my keyboard even as we speak.

IF anyone buys one of these girls and doesn't want the clothes, PM me--we could maybe work out a trade or something.

Me! XD Seriously, I don't like very much her clothes, but I still have to decide what to do with her. If I'll end in rebodying her I'll let you know, in this case I'll not need her original clothes anymore.

@britbrat: Thanks ^____-
@Perla & britbrat: I think that this doll is sold only in Italy (even if it produced in Hong Kong)... if you're REALLY interested and you don't mind to pay the shipping in plus to the doll price I can check for other dolls for you, but I fear that's a bit complicate...
