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.

Close-up!

Clone Close-up!

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.

Other Summer photos

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!

Malibu Christie!

Malibu Christie!

This was my last doll purchase of 2010. I didn't

break my doll budget for that time because I go her for

under $30.00! I could not believe it! If the economy

wasn't so bad, many doll collectors would not be selling

and more people would be buying and I probably wouldn't

have this doll! Maybe a Black Francie will come up in my

price range but I doubt it! This is one of those dolls that

pictures do not do justice! I am lover of Julia, but there is

something different and special about this doll!

She has more of an intense look that Julia. Could it be the

absence of eyelashes? They do give Julia a flirty look!

She is much darker that I remember Mattel ever doing for a doll

back them! I can imagine that this doll might have caused

some controversy in her day! She is not on the 1966 Japan

TNT body of a Julia but is on the 1966 Korea body.

Note the difference of the waist. Julia is a "V" and this

one is straight across. The bust on the Malibu body is

bigger too.

Her hands are different. Korean hand are smaller and fingers

are close together than the Japan Julia hands.

Princess of South Africa and Malibu Christie nude.

She is closer in complexion to Princess of South

Africa (POSA)! Note the difference in

body size. POSA is on the 1991 Body which

has a smaller bust and hips. This is not a mint doll.

There are some small pin holes in the feet. You can't see

them in pictures because of her complexion but you can

see them in person. Her hair needs some work too.

I have her hair pulled back but is a little puffy.

The has been a change in the complexion of her torso.

It has a gray cast to it and is no the same complexion as

her legs and head. In looking at other Malibu Christies I

have found this common for this doll.

She is still my favorite head of all!
