Review of Autumn Days Trixie

Reviewing another child doll today. 

This is Autumn Days Trixie from 2015, from Effanbee/The Tonner Doll Company.  She's one of the two new dolls in the Patsy line, along with Lacy Summer Day Patsy, which I don't have.  She's the third Trixie offering ever, since Trixie debuted as a character last year.  She has a wonderful face, and the new super-articulated body with bending elbows, wrists and knees.

Both Autumn Days and Lacy Summer Day Patsy have a period look to them, like they come from an earlier time.  I love the clothes on both.  This hat is so cute!  It actually comes with a clear elastic band that you could loop under the doll's chin if you wanted, but I don't find it necessary.  The hat stays on just fine without it.

The dress is made from a very soft fabric, and has snaps in the back.  It would be easy for a child to get the clothes on and off, which I can't say about every Patsy outfit.  The sewing and fabrics are both nice quality, and all the inside seams are finished.  She comes with matching bloomers underneath.  The socks are knee-high; they aren't tights.  The brown Mary Jane shoes fasten at the sides with a single bead as a button.  A lot of the Patsy dolls have this same style of shoe, so if you have a lot of Tonner Patsy outfits, you'll pretty much have a million of these in different colors.  They're nicely-made and fit the doll well, though, and they don't fall off when you lift the doll.  Hey, that's important!  It means no lost doll shoes.  Yay!

I really truly love the face on this doll.  So sweet and serene.  She makes for a perfect compliment to the Patsy dolls.  I do hope the Tonner Doll Company offers a Trixie in a darker skin tone as well some day.  This skin tone is lovely, but darker skin would be lovely, too.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! 

These are two custom, OOAK Patsy dolls I did this week when I was in a creative mood.  I gave them both glass eyes and new hair.  When I was in the middle of creating one of them, my husband walked into the room just in time to witness me digging into a bald doll scalp with my exacto knife.  Didn't phase him at all.  LOL!  He's so used to my doing strange doll projects, he doesn't even usually ask questions about them any more.  I just shouted out "Braiiiiinnnssss!!!" and kept on cutting.  He walked out without saying a word. 

The outfits are Tonner Patsy clothes from the 2014 collection.

I absolutely love the newer, super-articulated Patsy bodies!  I can't praise them enough.  They may be one of the best doll bodies Tonner has ever done, along with the Ellowyne and Antoinette bodies.   Just my personal opinion, of course. 

I'm actually planning on putting the blue-eyed one up for sale here on the blog in another week or so, along with three other customs.  The brown-eyed one isn't for sale, although I'm sure I'll do another brown-eyed Patsy some time in the future when my next order of brown glass eyes comes in.  (I ran out.) 

Hugs.

Summer Party Patsyette

I was able to add another Patsyette to my clan a while ago, when Tonner was having a sale day.  She's the dark-haired, grey-eyed "Summer Party" Patsyette that came out in 2014. 

The dress is so cute!  I'll show you pictures from both the front and back, because it has this enormous red bow in the back that's quite pretty.  Since she shares a body with the 8" Tiny Betsy by Tonner, the dress will fit Betsy as well. 

I had to do a photo shoot with my other two, "Spun Sugar" (the blonde) and Basic Patsyette (redhead).  The poseability of their bodies is limited, so they pretty much just sit on my desk being cute together.  I managed to lose the frilly blue dress that came with Spun Sugar, so I've redressed her here into a Tiny Betsy outfit.  The redhead is wearing a Patsyette outfit called "Sheer Delight," that was sold separately from the dolls.

 

I still think the bodies on these dolls needs an upgrade.  A simple arm switch to a more natural-looking arm sculpt would do wonders for this line, particularly if the new arms had bending elbows.  Just a thought.
