Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

[neon_jellyfish]

Her eyes really stand out there, they're very beautiful.

Moxie Teenz have inset acrylic eyes of very nice quality, and it's one of the reasons I wanted this doll.

Ooooo.... i’ve cruised around eBay stalking her now and then, but prices for complete ones are crazy. She really is pretty.

Moxie Teenz are very pretty, but their insane second-hand prices helped me make peace with having just one. Also, they're 14" / 36cm tall (Tristen has high heels, so she's 37cm), so very little fits them when it comes to clothing and shoes. 90s Barbie stuff will be short, but some of it will fit otherwise - the dress she's wearing is one my mom made for my 90s Barbies.

Oooooh, Tristen with her enchanting eyes! She's the cause of my dolly downfall She looks wonderful in the purple dress (this is the one from your childhood, right?). I agree about their frustrating  wig fit though. Luckily LIV wigs also fit them (if the peg is cut out) - funnily enough, even better than the original wigs. Probably that's the reason why my Moxie Teenz mostly lounge around in LIV wigs instead of those of their own.

Their prices are insane right now! When I got to know them they were no longer on the shelves (and they never ever hit local shelves anyway ), but were still available for a fairly reasonable price second-hand (except for Bijou, she was already ekspensive back then. I tried for years, but I kinda gave up on actively trying to look for her. It's a shame though, her original stock is awesome). I'm happy I managed to get the rest of the girls still before their prices inflated.

Yup, that's the dress my mom made for my dolls almost 30 years ago (gosh, where did all those years go?), it's still so pretty, and it fits Moxie Teenz and Curvy Babs.

Czech stores got a few of these dolls, they lasted for about a week, and then they were gone and nothing new appeared. I was lucky to get Tristen when I did, I stumbled upon her during my MH hunt and immediately fell in love with her, and when I came back to get the tan / ambiguously brown one (I don't remember her name), they were gone. I also wanted the black girl, but I never saw her in stores, only the three lighter ones.

That's a thing here - if there are four core characters in the line and one of them is black, we only get the three non-black ones. It's more that people never buy them rather than store owners being racist, they just don't order dolls that won't sell. We used to only get black dolls when they were distributed in assorted cases with white dolls. Thankfully, it's been slowly changing as of late.

I agree eith everyone, those eyes are very captivating! I am not to familiar with the Moxie line but she is pretty.

Moxie Teenz was a sister line to Moxie Girlz by MGAE, they were playline fashion dolls, Moxie Girls were about the same size as Bratz (also by MGAE), Teenz are 14". All those lines are dead now, and the second-hand market prices are way higher than what the dolls are worth. MGAE does that a lot - they spew a new line every time you blink, they get something wrong, and instead of fixing it, they cancel the line and release a new one.
