Oh she looks ... yeah, uncanny valley is the right term. Also a bit ... spooked?

Emerald
Arrival date: 13th January 2020
Erm... I got really lucky at the weekend and won one of my vintage grails. Emerald is a doll from 1972, with a gimmick of light up eyes. She was made by Girls' World which appears to be a division of Milton Bradley, and was only really around for a year. She's about 6 inches tall, and a chubby little thing.
As you can see, her colouring is really nice and honestly she would have done well had she been released around the time of Monster High I think. My Emerald came without any clothing, so the dress is one that I very quickly sewed up today after she arrived. I'll need to see about getting her little shoes, and a proper witches hat.
I'm honestly still in a bit of shock I have her, frankly. When you have a vintage doll want, you never think you'll actually get one... And yet, here she is, being utterly adorable.
(Yes, she'll appear in my ADAD at some point...)
