100 poses fashionista bodies, big heads, rooted lashes like the Stardolls. http://dolfielittles.typepad.com/blog/2 ... dolls.html

The color of Midge's lips is terrible, she has a headband mark in her hair, and the color of her outfit doesn't do her any justice. She can be fixed. This is after changing clothes and hair. I think I'll strip her lips then redo them.

I don't care what they call her that is Steffie not Midge! She will never be Midge to me, lol. But Midge freak that I am I also love Steffie and she is utterly adorable. I just killed the plastic to order her on Amazon. I have looked all over for her. At every Target store within 50 miles, no luck. There's a gift pack with her and Barbie too, but it's also very scarce. This is a must have doll for me though. I love red haired Steffies and this one is a Fashionista bodied girl with freckles? Got to have her but I am going to have to fix that lip color for sure. That's horrid. Fortunately they didn't redesign Steffie to have a big cheesy Fashionista smile...:P

I got my two pack at ToysRUs.com on a day they were having an automatic so much off if you buy so much Barbie. She is adorable and the hair color is a lovely natural tone. I'm just going to strip her lips for now, the Steffie face is nice.

I saw newer Kens that have bigger eye paint to go with the Dreamhouse girls. I'm going to guess they're on the 2009 bodies and the Tango/Blaine face. Not bad but they look a bit different compared to the guys already out.

I really like the fact that Midge has a Steffie face cuz she's had that same sculpt before transitioning into the Diva face back in the 80s. Mattel could have easily given Midge a more 'modern' face like the rest of the fashionistas but they instead went with a sculpt a lot of older collectors really loved and was already used on Midge before, so it's a great shout out to fans.

Unfortunately living in Australia I have no idea if or when the LitD dolls are even going to be sold here (like how the S.I.S aren't sold here) so I'll just watch enviously.

They are terribly cute! I already love Midge(Steffie? XD) hairtone and facemold, and I agree with DollyKim purpose to change her lips color, it's awful...
I hope they will arrive in Italy someday, I'm seriously considering buying one!

I agree: she'll never be a Midge to me (I'm too much of a fan of the Diva mold). I really like her as a doll, though. I don't have any Steffie dolls yet, I love red hair and for some reason I really like that combination here. Definitely on my wish list as soon as they appear over here. (The lipstick has to go, though.)

Raquelle (?) really reminds me of some High School Musical face mold, but I may be imagining things.

The date on Raquelle is 2012 so I'd venture to think it was new for her. I have a Diva Midge too and Steffie reminds me of the black Spanish Barbie I loved to death.

This Midge's hair is a light shade I don't remember seeing before. Her outfit is about as awful in the color choice category as her lips. The rooted eyelashes is a nice touch. The Barbie she comes with has the Generation face so she's not bad, and it's a jointed body so you could always head swap.

Yeah, I realize it's probably a new mold, what with the mouth and all, just possibly a modified version of an older one. I actually thought my DeeDee was a Steffie at first, there are a lot of similarities.

The Midge that's sold separetely comes with two outfits that look much better in my opinion, orange and blue with some polka dot patterns. I hope we get that one here.
