A Hunt for Twins

After a recent post here (and an often brought up discussion when dolls are released), I wanted to check my own collection for twins. I do not own every doll, but I own quite a few, so I decided to see who is most similar.

Pic 1-3: Dark Brown Hair, Tan Skin, Brown Eyes— 101 Dalmatians, Cruella, Retro Mickey and Minnie, Bambi (budget)

Ily 101 Dalmatians has a slightly lighter skin tone than the other dolls in this group. Ily Retro Mickey and Minnie has darker more cool-toned hair.

Pics 4-6: Blonde Hair and Light Brown Hair, Blue Eyes— Jessie, Rapunzel, Mickey (budget), Stitch (budget), Bambi, Moana, Minnie (first iteration)

Ily Rapunzel, Mickey, and Jessie have the most similar hair, though a detailed look shows they aren’t the same. The other blondes are lighter (and still different from each other). Ily Moana and Minnie have slightly different shades as well. Some variations in eye color as well, from light almost gray eyes to a dark blue (and one green).

Pic 6: dark brown hair, lighter skin than previous dark brown haired dolls— 101 Dalmatians, Daisy, Minnie

Slight variations in hair color, though even more subtle than the blonde shades. 101 Dalamations has brown eyes.

Pic 7: darkest skin tone, dark brown to black hair— Ily Belle, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey

These three are the most unique of the groups. Winnie and Mickey share an eye color, but the different textures of their hair really makes the color similarities less noticeable.

All of the dolls have various shades of makeup and the lip color makes a big difference in their appearance to me as well.

Phew, if you read all of that, thank you. I can definitely see a pattern to the dolls I’m drawn to, even though this isn’t my full collection. Any twins in your collection? Any comparisons from dolls I didn’t include?

Now to put these back on my shelf 😂

With All the New Dolls Being Released…

How do you decide who to keep?

My shelves are already too full, but I know I want to add the 101 Dalmatians doll. Fortunately, I’m not super interested in the other dolls that have been announced. I’ve got a few dolls in mind that I might remove from my display altogether, but haven’t been forced to do that just that. I really like displaying all of the fashions, but that’s become unrealistic.

Not displayed: ily Ariel who is still in the same spot she was last week for Fashion Friday. (This is how I know my collection is growing too quickly, I don’t even notice when a doll is missing from the shelf!)

It's been a rainy week, so the first signs of sun have the dolls begging for their own place to enjoy the weather. Nature-loving Fern got to be the fit to test out the in-progress porch. If she's lucky, I'll have the space finished before summer ends. (Realistically, she'll be lucky if I finish it time for summer 2028).

Reposed again in hopes of getting the picture to load. My phone seems to be fighting with Reddit right now.

Idea for the railing and bench from MyFroggyStuff (modified to fit the space and adjusted to better sit ily dolls).
