Happy to hear she's finally there with you! Aw, that full grin is charming and adorable! I agree, blue suits her really well, I really like that dress on her.

What a cute little orange Cheshire kitty, with e ressive eyes! Congratulations on the new arrival! No ex-cuses for feeling down-in-the-dumps now!

Surely the late-60s could have been even more fun than one would ever think possible! "Fun and laughter is what we're after!"

Congrats on the new arrival. The blue is a nice colour for her.

I’ve been ear wormed by the Banana Splits song now. Did love the show, too.

Thank you, all! The blue does have the side effect of making Marmalade seem a lot more innocent than she actually is, which is kind of fun. I will be altering skirt lengths today before I wash the dresses I've sewn to help reduce the risk of colour transfer. Like I said, the blue dress is white backed so it's okay on.

321. Marmalade Size Comparison 1
Just a little line up to show up a Pipos Star Cheshire measures up in comparison to some other anthro dolls. So, from left to right we have: Hujoo Nano Freya, ResinSoul 0036, Pipos Star Cheshire, Petworks Usaggie, Bridge Direct Jet Set Pet, Hujoo Freya, and Monster High.
I guess that technically the Petworks doll is shorter, but her ears add to her height. Which, ironically, is exactly why Marmalade seems that little bit taller than Basil.

Oh, interesting! I thought Cheshire was the size of the little Freya.

Lovely comparison, and it's so nice to see so many feline friends together! Well, Marmalade certainly managed to trick me with that blue dress - I never would have throught she isn't as innocent as she looks. Well, probably that grin should have told me something... I'm naive :3

Some of them are indeed quite tiny, aren't they. That's quite a variety!

She’s a proper Cheshire Cat, with a proper grin.
And the dress looks great on her.

What a lovely bunch of anthros!
As for size miscalculations, I thought she was the same size as Victoria.

Aww what a cute animal family. I didn't realize Freya was so teeny either! I thought she was similar to Cheshire too. Love that pic! All your kitty dolls kinda remind me of Odeko + Nikki cat dolls by petworks a bit. Also another vinyl cat doll I remember from the 2000s or so but I can't remember the name off the top of my head.

I can see how someone would think that, actually.

Maybe next year on National Cat Day I'll take a picture of all my cat dolls. It's a surprising amount actually...

Freya's almost the smallest doll I have - I think Artie would win it out. Note to self - do a more full height comparison line up.

Makes sewing for her a bit of a pest tbh. But also fun because I need less fabric.

Honestly, the Pipos Cheshires are just so well known for their grins. Marmalade's seems a bit shyer, more mischievous. Depending on the face up the grin can look all sorts of things.

I do have a surprising fondness for anthro dolls - I think it's the creativity in them that does it.
Actually, ngl I did see her as being the same size as Victoria when I placed my order. It's why the stuff I made for her is too long.

Ooh, yes, I've seen those dolls. I'm tempted to get one if I'm honest. Petworks have a few little anthro dolls I'd like to get - it's just honestly finding them at a decent price. Also possibly Catwalk Kitties? I have some heads on MH bodies, but I'd like a proper one.

322. Marmalade Size Comparison 2
This time to show Marmalade with other dolls that might help you better place her height. So, from left to right we have:
Azone Picco Neemo
Pipos Star Cheshire
Azone Pureneemo
Obitsu 24
Monter High Little Sister
Barbie Signature Pivotal Body
Hot Toys Wonder Womna TBLeague Body
Pullip
Honestly, I just find myself surprised at how small Marmalade is! She's adorable, though.
