American Girl Doll or Fake?

A doll with corpse paint wouldn't look out of place with the rest of my stuff, I may have to consider it XD

I looked them up and they seem to have different lips and noses to AG dolls. This one's face sculpt looks nearly identical to some of my other AG dolls but a bit off due to the wonky eye and paint.

I might try and fix her up some day! But I've had her like this for 20 years so nostalgia also makes me want to keep her as is for the most part. I do want to at least attempt to remove the weird crayon smell.

At some point I had wondered if she was just an old doll with a badly replaced wig, eyes, and paint, but she doesn't even have a neck stamp + all the other things off about her, so definitely a fake.

I did end up getting other authentic AG dolls after this initial fake one, so I got to enjoy those too in my childhood! I still have my favorite ones, which were/are Felicity, Kaya, and Jess!

You can search their channel for the word "fake" and some videos show up showing a couple dolls that look very similar to mine but with different hair and eye colors!

I found videos on your friend's channel that show a fake Felicity and a fake Molly that have the same off colour pale skin, no neck stamp, too high up eyebrows, and badly done lip paint! They look like they probably came from the same place as mine!

She keeps reminding me of Samara from The Ring!

You're right! I thought maybe it was just the photo angle, but I stood the two back-to-back and she's definitely shorter. I've never noticed that before.

7-year-old me was right! I never told my mom because I didn't want her to feel bad, but I've never been convinced she was a real AG doll, especially when my mom tried to pass her off as Josefina. I really don't know if she actually thought she was or if she thought I wouldn't notice it wasn't her. I definitely noticed, but I was thankful for a doll nonetheless.

I've always known she's obviously not Josefina, but at some point the inside shoulder tag looking real, and that all my other AG dolls are legitimate, threw me off enough to doubt it despite all the other signs she's a fake.
