One of my favorite dolls of the old Mattel Disney princesses is this version of Sleeping Beauty!
This Sleeping Beauty doll is based on the 1959 American
animated musical fantasy film. Filled with jealousy, the evil witch
Maleficent curses Princess Aurora to die on her 16th birthday. Thanks to
Aurora's guardian fairies, she only falls into a deep sleep that can be ended
with a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip. To prevent Phillip from
rescuing Aurora, Maleficent kidnaps and imprisons him. The good fairies are the
last hope to free Phillip so that he can awaken Aurora.

This is my doll. I donated her dress years ago and put her in this dress. Her eyes aren't
too large like many of the Disney princesses. She has a beautiful face.
I really like her hair. She has barrel curls. I have pulled them back into a clip.
She looks good in pink. I need to give her an articulated body and a storyline to post more on her.
The first time I saw the Boy Scout action figure was on Roxanne's Dolls! She had a great post about the BFF Ink doll Calista doll and Boy Scout Bob. The running posts were in a dear dairy style about a young girl. Calista's love interest was Bob the Boy Scout. I looked him up and he was made by Kenner!
Nerd Rage did a great video on the action figure and I posted it below.
"A brief history of Kenner's Boy Scouts of America Line
A.K.A. Steve Scout. which came out in 1974, and ended in 1975."
One of the points made in the video is that Bob and the other scouts' heads might fall off with play. So if you have them, be careful or have glue! Also, since these action figures are 40 years old, the uniforms aren't always in the best of shape. Many are pretty faded. The shirts on my uniforms have holes. They are made from cotton. The pants are made of twill and have seemed to hold up better.
Boy Scouts Steve and Bob are 9 3/4 inches tall. Cub Scouts are Craig and Dave are 8 1/2 inches tall.
In their uniforms, Craig in the blue and Steve in the khaki green.
Craig is the blonde and Steve is the redhead.
In their uniforms AA scouts, Bob in the khaki green and Dave in the blue.
Bob is the tall one and Dave is the shorter one.
The Boy Scouts do a three-finger salute and the Cub Scouts do a two-finger salute.
Warning! Nude bodies!
The Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are definitely action-figure bodies! They have broad shoulders and narrow waists. They are more muscular than other kid dolls of the same size.
They are more than Stacie-size dolls.
Thighs, calves, and arms are beefier.
Steve and Bob can wear some Stacie-size boy clothes and CreateableWorld world doll clothes depending on the cut.
The Cub Scout body is a better fit in Stacie-size clothes.

Mom is Christy and dad is Joe. Meet the Jacksons.
Roxanne does a video at the end of Calista's diary post of Bob and Calista dancing. It is super cute! I had to share it with you guys.
I just received my The Looks AA Ken 2024 yesterday!
Promo Photo
He is my photo!
He wears a neon yellow shirt with periwinkle pants and silver low-top boots.
I was hoping for a new complexion. I was hoping for something closer to the 80's Steve's complexion. I have a lot of males that have that complexion that needs articulated bodies.
Close-up!
He has a new broad body.
#25 compared to #4!
As you can see, it is an easy head swap!
He also works well with Fashionista #130.
And with Fashionista #153 who was originally on a broad body.
I feel like myself but better!
OK, let's have a little fun and try some non-Mattel heads.

The 2024 Looks AA Ken is not a new head sculpt! It has been used at least three other times.
