More Summer Doll Clones!

 Hey Gang!

The second most popular clone head sculpt is the Summer head sculpt. The first is the 

CEO/Generation Girl. Here is my new clone doll, City Cyclin', who has the Summer head sculpt.

Close-up!

There is a lot in the box. Not bad for $7.99.

The outfit isn't bad either.

There is a bicycle helmet.

It is not a bad bike. It may get painted.

The kickstand goes up!

Not the best cat, but not the worst.  A repaint could make a difference.

Some photos on the side of the box.

Out of her clothes, the body isn't the best.

She has the slender legs characteristic of most clone dolls.

This is one of the Summer doll head sculpts. This is the darkest complexion I've seen used for the sculpture.                                            

(Summer 2004-2015)

Warning: Nude Dolls!

There is also an imperfection on the neck. I plan on reboding her so it is no big deal.

The hair is not as thin as that of many clone dolls.

I will be using the #1 body for this doll. 

This body can be used for many of the darker bodies.

This body can also be used for Malibu Christie!

It is not a perfect match, but it will do!

Rebodied!

Now she can ride the bike. She will be called April.

Next up!

Black Skin Curly Hair Doll—Play 66 Sports Collection. I purchased her from Temu for about $4.50. She already comes articulated, so I didn't have to give her a new body. Or so I thought!

She has the Summer 2011 head sculpt, which is used more often than the many other Summer sculpts.

I love this hair look, but sadly, it is primarily rooted in the hairline.

My doll!

When I saw her nude (you may not be able to tell from my photo), her body was darker than her head.  I had a few of the medium brown bodies. So she was rebodied!

Here she is on her new body!

So here is Nia! Nia is a nursing assistant.

Summer and Summer clone doll that I call Zuri.

I redodied Zuri onto one of the clone articulated bodies. Zuri will work as a teacher's assistant while completing her teaching degree. She will work at the school where her children attend. She is dropping them off.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Summer Time! The Summer Doll Process!

 Hey Gang!

Summer or Summer Gordon is a doll that first appeared in 2004 (2004-2015). This doll used a new face sculpt and was said to be Blaine's ( the replacement for Ken at the time) little sister. Summer was described strawberry blonde hair and green/brown eyes. She was originally from Australia like Blaine but that aspect of her character has disappeared.

The Cali Girl Summer has auburn hair and a deeper complexion.

Summer has changed head sculpts also.

2011 Fashionista Summer.

2012 Fashionista Summer

2007 Top Model Summer

2006 Glam Beach Summer with Drew's head sculpt

Summer has been a frequent character in the web series Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse. Sadly she was replaced by Raquelle.

What I've Been Up To-- Part Two! Progress On Re-boding!!!

So, since Christmas I have found several articulated bodies for my dolls. Not many African American bodies but articulated bodies that I can use for my non African American dolls. Just after Christmas, my local Supermarkets had many Barbie items for sale. I found two Hunger Game dolls for sale for 7.50 at a local supermarket. That is around the price a want to spend on a articulated donor body.  Less if I can.

I purchase both of them and re-body two of my dolls. I re-bodied my Dr. Yue Sai Wa Wa

and 

my Ing with these donor bodies. I kept one of the doll’s outfit and put the rest of the doll’s items and heads up for sale on the Dollpage.

During the Flower Show, the center City K-Mark marked down it‘s Fashionista Summer dolls to 8.00.

 I purchased three of them also. I need to add Summer to my collection. She was the only Fashionista with a new head sculpt that I didn't have. I kept the other bodies as a donor.

You might remember from previous posts that I purchased several SIS dolls too!

 

The Roller Skating and Tennis dolls. I have also purchased and extra Baby Phat Kara and

 a Grace as a body donors.

Warning Nude Dolls Ahead!

At my new favorite thrift store I found six articulated bodies and a Power Team guy for fewer than 7.00! That was a real score! First, I found two Disney dolls as I got to the toy section.  I then began to carefully comb the aisle.   I be heading back my next day off!

They were both they newer Rapunzel dolls with the articulated arms.  I got excited.

I am not a big fan of the face but I can always use the body.  I think I like the Mattel face better.

I found these two dolls with the same outfit on.

I don’t know who they are but because both of them have on the same outfit. I am thinking that the outfit is original.

And pretty cute too!

If you know who they are please let me know.

I also found two Fashionista Swapping head dolls too.  I not a fan of the swapping head dolls but at that price I figure that my second string dolls will get a articulated body.  These head will be up for sale too!

I think the first doll is the old Summer. Very few of the dolls that I have purchased form thrift store didn't need hair help.  It is something I accept.

This girl has a heart on her cheek!

One of the great things about thrift store is that you will never know what you might find!  I didn't expect to find a Power Team guy there but there he was!  You know I couldn't leave him there.  I think he is an older model.  His gloves are a different color than of my other PT guys.

He does have a great look in his eyes too!

I haven’t re-bodied any of these dolls. So I told myself that each week I would figure out a doll to get one of the six donor bodies. I will put their heads up for sale on the Dollpage. I sure out that the Dollpage stays up!

I purchased a few other things I will show you later when I have time to take pictures! Never enough time!
