Lejays17 Doll-a-Week

[Lejays17]

Neon - it would have been great if they made more of the boys, but I think we were lucky they made the 4 that they did. I would have liked a Humphrey as well as a Sparrow.

Davidd - there's definitly 2 facial sculpts (Daring has a toothy-smile, the others don't). Weirdly, I'm very good at recognising people's faces in films / pictures, but I can't tell the differences in doll-faces. I didn't realise that Cerise & Faybelle shared a face, until neon mentioned it in one of her posts, and I have both of them!)

Greys - they are all very cute. Dexter's my favourite, but he's always been my favourite from the very start when I just read the books...

Alliecat - I've "stalked" neon's posts on her thread to see who I have that she hasn't photographed, so they will all be different dolls (also I remembered that davidd has photoed the Dragon Games ones, so I probably won't do those either).


Because there's not a lot of the year left to do single portraits on a weekly schedule, I'll double-up and try to "theme" them.

First up: Nina Thumbell & Jillian Beanstalk (theme - they're room-mates at school ) They're both later releases (May 2016), and on the new "smiley" faces. Not sure if I like the smiley faces (except for Daring & Maddie )
Nina is the daughter of Thumbelina, and is on the smaller body-type (the Wonderland body). I like her as she's one of the darker-skinned dolls, which is very unusual in this line.
Jillian is the daughter of Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. She's on a taller body, like Cerise & Duchess.



I've also included single shots of both dolls - camping out in the enormous camellia tree in our front yard
