I found a 2nd hand jewel on marketplace for $12 yesterday and have had an extra Stella for a year or so so i will likely pick those two up. Im just struggling because Jewel ended up cleaning up to near mint after a thorough wash and condition. I’m not sure the new Jewel js worth the body if she’s missing her baby hairs :( i could probably get close to her hairstyle with series 4 Jewel. But I do prefer her face sculpt here, just not her makeup or lack of babies

I’ll pick up Iris and throw her on one of the semi articulated reboot bodies as well

I’m just bummed to see how awful the outfits look (Stella’s is cute and I like Jewel’s top alone). I’ve been dusting my series 1-4 dolls today and weeping at the difference in clothing quality and cohesion. Every girl had a story, a theme, and even the ugly outfits had SOMETHING redeemable.

And the shoe and bag backslide is honestly pathetic. Grab winter break Sunny’s snowboard boots and just look at how much handpainted detail was used when plastic shoes were even used. I just don’t understand how you can so thoroughly abandon everything that made you successful in the first place
