This
girl was great to photograph. When I first took her out of the
box, I thought she looked a bit blank-faced, which I blame on her
eyes being so dead-center forward-facing. I was thinking a bit of a
side-glance might have given her more personality. However, when I
photographed her, her personality came out a bit and she doesn't look
blank-faced to me any longer. In fact, if you position her so she's
looking directly into the camera, she has quite an intense stare.
I
like her sculpt very much. The sculpt was new for the grown-up
Marley Wentworth line, so I thought I'd post photos so people
can see her. There aren't many owner pics of Marley
online, particularly Skyline Blue. Her profile is lovely.
I'm
a big fan of basic sheath dresses, and really love this royal blue.
The fabric is a nice quality. It has four snaps in the back, and is
lined with white to prevent the doll from getting stained. Her shoes
are purple and fun, and fit perfectly. (And SHINY!)
I
didn't take pictures of her oversized matching coat, since every
promotional picture of this doll shows it. There's not a whole lot
to her outfit, but she was definitely worth the price I paid. I
grabbed her when Tonner recently had a 30% off plus free shipping
offer. Since she was already on sale before that, I ended up getting
her at roughly half off her original price. Sweet! So worth it.
What's funny is I was thinking if I didn't like her in person, I
would use her body for one of my older Tyler heads. I might not do
that, now. She's growing on me.
Later.
