Hey Gang!
Disney is the king of marketing! So they will do a TV series, then do a move to follow up a TV series, then do more movies and TV series, then clothing and posters for the movies and TV series...and of course dolls! So now lets look at the Cheetah Girls
The Cheetah Girls was an American girl group consisting
of Adrienne Bailon, Kiely Williams, Sabrina Bryan, and Raven-Symoné as
the starring leads. The group was created by Disney, and was made famous
by the eponymous Disney Channel original film and its sequels, The
Cheetah Girls 2 and The Cheetah Girls: One World. The group has
released three studio albums, Cheetah-licious Christmas, In Concert:
The Party's Just Begun Tour, and TCG plus several RIAA certified Platinum
albums including, The Cheetah Girls, The Cheetah Girls 2, and The
Cheetah Girls: One World. All of their albums and soundtracks have debuted in
the Billboard 200. The soundtrack to their first film sold over 2
million copies.
The Cast of the Cheetah Girls: Raven-Symoné – Galleria Garibaldi, also known as Bubbles, Adrienne Bailon – Chanel Simmon, also
known as Chuchie, Kiely Williams – Aquanette Walker, also known as Aqua, Sabrina Bryan – Dorinda Thomas, also known as Do.
Note that Raven Symone has done a few Disney series along with Selena Gomez. Disney likes musicals and many of the highest rated shows are musicals!
Now To The Dolls!
The following five photos are promo photos
The Cheetah Girls were produced by Jakks Pacific
Galleria Garibaldi
I choose this photo because this is the doll I own.
Aquanette Walker
This photo is the same reason as above
Chanel Simmon
I have this doll too but she was sold nude.
Dorinda Thomas
I don't have this doll at all. I don't recall seeing her in the thrift stores.
The lineup!
I never purchase any of these dolls new.
I only saw them new in Toys R Us and
K-Mart and a few discount stores. I found them often in thrift stores.
I liked their outfits but wasn't a fan of their bodies. The all have the kinda gift giving arms you see on some older Mattel dolls.
Warning-Nude Dolls!
The body is a little bigger than the Brittany Spears doll body and there aren't as many variations as with the Brittany Spears doll body. She can't wear much of the Mattel doll clothes and the original black pants and boots stained the dolls body. I had to bleach the body to remove the stain. BTW, staining is a big problem with the Jakks doll girls.
Galleria Garibaldi
Closeup of the torso-this is the singing doll.
Brittany has smaller chest and hips!
As of now the only Cheetah Girl doll in my dolliverse is Loraine! She is on a articulated Fashionista body. She has more clothing options now.
OK, Thanks For Looking!
