It’s a new mold I have the older ones and newer ones msg

Posted by Mj on 6/24/2022, 5:03 pm, in reply to "I got my Francie today. Some people said her face/head was different in size. MSG"

The last Francie had fuller cheeks, I compared her to my vintage standard Francie and the mold was very close the newer one tends to look up as apposed to the older model giving her a bit of a difference in the aspect of the appearance. All in all you know when you see the new doll it’s Francie and more so than wild bunch and the other two that came out around that time. I’m pleased.

Her head seems a little bit chubbier in the cheek area, but as with vinyl, my original #1 AA Francie's head has a thinner look, because of vinyl shrinks over time. That is why it is not a good idea to head swap. Other than that her head from top of head to chin, the heads are the same size. I have a feeling the knob is wider on the repro doll than the original doll. the thing that got me mad, was that when I took the tissue paper off, it stuck to the tab, on the bottom of the box,but it didn't rip it though. They are tape crazy. Oh, her bangs have hardly any gel, and the flip looks glued, but it doesn't have the white Elmer's glue look, so I am leaving her hair alone, because I know her bangs will have those long pieces, and I will mess her part up if I mess with her hair.
