Chelsea Boy- No Name!

Hey Gang!

I added a new doll even though his does have molded hair!

I purchased him because I saw him at Target.  I really thought he might only 
be available online.

He looked paler online. He is about the same complexion as Chelsea.  I have
noticed he has the same QC issues as most of the other new dolls. I think, after
looking at this guy, that the issues are there because the manufacturing style or
process has changed.  

While inspecting the clothes of this doll (note the hole)


I noticed that the head has a big seam.   The head is made differently now.  


This might be because of the molded hair.  It appears to be two parts  merged 
together now causing a seam.
The seams are more obvious (to me) on the body 




and the feet too!



I guess as long as the seams aren't coming apart, I am OK with it! 
His molded on briefs are more for a boy than the Darrin doll.


 Comparing with Darrin

His shirt/shorts are one piece. So there will be no mixing and matching.


His sneakers are slightly different and have Chelsea printed on the bottom.


It appears that he doesn't have a name....only a number DYT90. If anyone knows 
of an online name, please let me know. 

I am playing around with him and other dolls to figure out chemistry. Do you see it! 
Do they look like friends or neighbors?

Guys in the front!
 I know the answer!
 I have a frog in my pocket!
 Let me see!
 The teacher is looking!
 Are you new?
Yes!
 My name is......
In the next row is the 
Barrette Girls!
Three time four minus two is ten!
I knew that too! 
Heading home from school!
My brother can do tricks with the ball!
 Show em!


I was planning on customizing a brunette boy doll. I still may.  

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Tamika and Darrin!

Hey Gang!

A few months ago I found Tamika and Darrin in K-Marts.  I wasn't looking
for them but when new items you haven't seen before fall into your lap,
what are you to do? I showed them at our doll club meeting but I didn't post
them.  So her is their post! 

Tamika!

Tamika has had a head sculpt change. She has a brown version of the
smiling Chelsea doll face.

She comes with a hula hoop!  I do think hula hoops are still popular
because I still see them in stores.  The hit their heyday around 1958. I have
attached a link to some info if you are interested! 

Darrin!

Darrin is the first boy of this size in the Chelsea line.  There have been
boys who have been smaller or taller and AA but none this size that weren't
AA.

Darrin comes wearing a green and white baseball shirt with a T and
soccer ball on it, black pants shoes and a  Pink hat. OK, why? Why not
green or blue or white? I'll have to fix that!  He also came with a
soccer ball.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
