Spectra 
Replacing Spectra with Ari was one of things that made me loath the reboot. Fun fact! Spectra was a source of much dismay due to her cheekbones, and soccer moms decided something must be done about it! They complained and Mattel commanded MH team to give Spectra fuller face. However, after the storm passed, the team secretely re-introduced the old sculpt, and no one noticed! I don't have enough info in this, so I don't know which Spectra's releases have which sculpt, I'm pretty sure the new one happened around 2013, I have four Spectras, one of them has the new sculpt. Then it became a mess, because some factories kept using the new sculpt and some switched back to the old one, I do recall differences between dolls made in Indonesia and China, but I can't name any specific releases.
