1st. Issue Mulan

Hey Gang!

I was talking with another blogger, Cyano about Mulan. I want to give a big shout out to Cyano. He has lovely Asian dolls on his blog and he does re-rooting of doll's hair. The dolls on her site are quite beautiful. As a lite-weight crafter, it is one thing to do something for yourself but it is another to do it for others. I give him big props for taking his skills to another level. 


I told him that I had one version of the doll (Mulan) without the smile. He said he had not see her. So I am posting it for him! I hope everyone else enjoys it as well! 

I got this doll from a thrift store. One of the larger thrift stores in my area has moved and I have had to buy some dolls I play with new! :( Her hair was cut but she is still beautiful.

Warning-Nude Doll


I normally dress her more athletic clothes because of her body. This figure represents when she was pretending to be a boy. She has flat feet, so it hard to find shoes for her. 
She doesn't have on much make-up but she doesn't look boyish to me. She has a very pleasant expression. 
I originally got this gown for Julia but she wasn't feelin' it. Mulan loved it so she wears it. I love the way she looks in this. 
She is wearing sandals from Moses-Prince of Egypt with socks and cummerbund from Ken. 
I have the Princess Mulan face her for comparison. The 1st issue's face is fuller and the smile is in her eyes and not her mouth.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Oh, I like your version, without the mouth smile, better. She'll go on my second level Wish list - for dolls and action figures, I would buy if the price is right and/or I encounter after I've bought some first level Wants.

She looks like Pocohantas! I think she is Secret Hero Mulan. I never saw her in person, always thought it was the same mold as the current one. I re-body all my older Mulans - hate those flat feet!
Thanks so much for posting the pictures! :-)

Cyano had her full name right; I googled "Secret Hero Mulan" and got this photo.

Lucky Ms. Leo :-)

Once I had this doll too. I dressed her as a ballerina. She's very cute!
