The quality is fairly good for a play-line doll, and unlike most child dolls, they have bending elbows, wrists, knees and ankles! The high-priced American Girl dolls don't even have that. It was a selling point for me, because these dolls are meant to be played with by little girls, who like to pose and play with their dolls, not just stare at them.
So, I had to get two of them. One is mine and one is my daughter's, but I have a feeling my doll is destined to live in my daughter's bedroom forever. Transfer of ownership is inevitable! That's the problem when both moms and kids like dolls. Hee hee.
It turns out the company is right now in the process of coming out with five new ones. They are already for sale through Target.com and Amazon.com (when they aren't sold out). I expect they'll be in stores in a few months. The new BFC girls represent different countries, and are from England, Sweden, Mexico, France and South Africa.
With that said, though, these dolls really are quite cute and fun. They even have a few separate outfits available. Nice. The red dress in my photos is actually one of the separate outfits I found for them.
Here's the official company promo pic of four of the new BFC Ink girls coming out. Cuteness!
I own 2 BFC Calista and Yuko. I notice in the promo pic the dolls are on the old body. The newer dolls have full articulation these don't seem to..hmm. They're still cute and I don't mind the head size :O)
ReplyDeleteI was worried the new girls would be on the old body, too, after seeing this promo pic, and looked into it. Apparently the new BFC Ink dolls ARE on the new, articulated body, but the original promo pic (shown above) shows them on the old body. I know someone who was able to mail-order two of the new girls already, and she says they are indeed on the new body with the bending elbows, wrists and knees.
ReplyDeleteShe also says they changed the eye color of the tan-skinned blonde and she now has brown eyes instead of blue like in this picture. LOL.
Funny that your daughter has made of with your doll - mine has made off with the Elsa I bought on Target clearance. Poor thing has no clothes other than her original outfit, but that doesn't stop DD from using whatever she's got handy, mostly AG clothes.
