90's Asian Dolls-Mei Ling And Jade Princess Just Girlz Doll!

 Hey Gang!

Mei Ling doll!

China Sprout created Mei Ling specifically with our young customers in mind. There were other Mei Ling dolls. 

Kung Fu Master!

Ice Princess!

 Each of these 12" vinyl fashion dolls has a poseable body and arms, sparkling brown eyes, and silken black hair. As the Lotus Dancer, Mei Ling enjoys performing beautiful Chinese dances using fans, streamers, and drums. She comes complete with her dance accessories and wears a pink-and-yellow silk dance outfit, finished with a jade-green jacket. Many adventures await your child when she plays with the newest addition to China Sprout's family.

China Sprout also sold Dr. Yue Sai WaWa.

Out of the box!

With the jacket off, you can see the details of her outfit.

As you can see, she has high-heeled feet.

The shoes she came with are for flat feet.  They rubberbanded them onto her high-heeled feet.

With the drums

Fan and streamer!

The doll without clothes!

She has an immatation TNT body.

Bodies, I tried to give her articulation.

I thought about using this body, but she would be a little too tall and wouldn't fit her original outfit.

I decided to go with the Disney Belle body instead. The articulated Disney body has a smaller waist, Bend-N-Click knees, and high-heel feet. Her hair got out of control while I played with her.

She can wear our original outfit and instruct the drummers!

Another doll that came out about the same time is the Jade Princess Just Girlz Doll, an exclusive doll by Kmart/Sears. It was their "Celebrating Diversity doll!"

I purchased her for the dress!  The dress is really beautiful.  The doll was $18 at the time.  More than I had ever expected to pay for an off-brand doll. I found one with a beat-up box, and they marked it down.

I planned on selling the doll! She seemed to just hang around.  Finally, about the time the Liv dolls came out, she wore me down. I think part of my dislike was the light, high-arched eyebrows.

I put her on a Liv doll body!

She is wearing the outfit from the Vietnam War action figure female.

Play-Doh Barbie Hearts and Hair Designer Set!

 Hey Gang!

My new purchase is Play-Doh Barbie Hearts and Hair Designer Set!

Now, I purchased her for the head!  I thought she had a unique headsculpt. This sculpture is called Jia.

Here is the box!

Inside the box. All this stuff is included.

There are doh and molds for hair and clothes in the box. There is also a stand.

Colored doh.

Not bad for $11.99.

If I were a fan of this type of clay, this would be great! I will donate it to the thrift store.

Here is the doll!

The body is a tall Barbie. She only has the five points of articulation. 

I have seen her head put on a Tall Mattel Tennis player body. I have also seen her put on a muscular Workdbox body.  She looks good on both.

I put her on a Disney Rapunzel body.  I like her on it!

I saw someone alter her to make her look older.  I like it, and I might try it! If I do, I will post her.

Japanese GI Joe!

 Hey Gang!

In 2001, GI Joe released twoWW1 Japanese action figures. One is the Air Force Officer, and the other is the Zero Pilot officer. 

Air Force Officer!

If you follow my blog, you will know Hiroshi Takada!

He is the "Air Force Officer".

In box.

Zero Pilot Officer!

I found the Zero Pilot officer in a thrift store and was going to sell him until I realized that the figures had different faces.

Out of the box.

I thought this would work as a snow outfit, but I'm not sure that's how I will use it.

Side by side, look at their faces!

These guys have the older Joe feet, which are larger and can't wear Ken doll shoes.

New Feet.  Old Feet.

Faces!

I am making them cousins!

Tatsuki and Hiroshi!

And their wives!

Ai and Tatsuki.

Hiroshi and Akira.

Disney VS Mattel! Reboding Mattel Cinderella Lady Tremaine!

 Hey Gang!

Cinderella Lady Tremaine!

I purchased two Lady Tremaine dolls. One I showed you before.

I purchased my second doll a while back. The doll had molded-on gloves, and she had a body match!

I love her face.  

She is very pale! Paler than Barbie, MTM Tennis Player.

Tennis Player and the head! The tennis player is too pink.

I will donate the body and the dress to a thrift store.

I purchased this body from AliExpress for $2.92.

It is a better match for the head.

I transplanted it onto the new body.  I think she looks great!

I also purchased these outfits from Amazon!

The handmade tag on the hat is too large! I used a blow dryer and Awesome Orange to try to remove the tag. They did an OK job, but I have to go over it with Uni Solve.

Miller sisters. Judy and Trudy!
