I was afraid this was too good to be true, but now she is here, complete and so perfect! I've always adored Fanatica, but not to the point of paying the price... so I got the Regen, thinking she looked close enough, but I have not been able to bond with her at all - something just feels off with the regens.
Anyway, I stumbled upon a really cheap BIN on eBay, I actually thought it was the regen first and was beyond excited to find it wasn't. And now that I have her in my hands, I can say that getting the original made all the difference - I absolutely love her! It's dark though so I only took two pictures for now;

Here's a comparison of the old and new release. I don't have the outfit on the re-issue so can't compare that, sorry. Photographed with flash, I will try to take a better one in daylight later!
The actual face-ups are very similar. The only differences I can find are that Re-Fan has somewhat slimmer and lighter eyebrows, and more visible pink eyeliner on the sides of the eyes. Still, I think the difference in eression is huge, and that lies of course in the face mold, and eyes. Re-fan also has a much paler complexion.
The wigs have very similar colour, but the new one is much shinier, has more defined curls and is a bit longer. Re-Fan's wig is of decent quality, although the bangs are a little wonky and I had to take off and re-position it when I got it as it was a bit crooked.
