Belle

Hey Gang!

I purchased more Disney dolls.  I purchased a new Belle doll.  She and my new
Jasmine ( Indira)  were a great deal on eBay.  I didn’t really think I needed
another Belle doll but I’m glad I got her. 

The newer version is a Holiday issue doll.

She isn’t brand new. She is a newer version of the older doll.  This version of the 
doll is  much better than my older doll.  My older doll was purchase at a thrift 
store and she had on a Pocahontas dress. 

Both of my versions of the doll have been re-bodied! My new doll is now on
a Fashionista body. Let's look in the book!

Here is the book!

So I’m not sure when my older doll came out So I consulted my 30 Years 
Mattel Fashion Dolls book.   

         I think it is the 1992 Beauty and the Beast Gift set version of the doll.

 The beast was with her when I got her.

Here she is beside her picture in the book. Both of my dolls are by Mattel, having similar but different head sculpts.  The older version of the doll has more of cartoonish.  Her eyes are hazel and there are stars painted in her eyes. Her lips are a soft pink. Her hair is a medium brown and thicker than most dolls.  It had never been smooth or shiny.  Only the strongest of De-tangling shampoo had made it able to be combed.

The newer version uses one of the older head sculpts but the complexion is

lighter and the hair is a better quality.The eyes are green and not hazel.

I am not a fan of the newest versions of the doll I used this one for Tammy's

mom because I new I knew I was going to make her a main character.  So she

would not be staying. 



Here they are side by side! 

I'm naming her Wendy!

I am not sure if I am keeping the older version of the doll. 

I may just keep the head around for a while.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
