Doll Purchases in Review 9

eBay purchases/wins, January 16, 2022, through March 5, 2022

My series of Doll Purchases in Review resumes with this post. This series includes only doll-related times purchased or won on eBay. Dolls/items acquired between January 16, 2022, and March 5, 2022, are described and/or referenced below.



This 20-inch 1950s high-heel fashion doll (a Miss Revlon-type) was purchased as a gift for a friend.  The doll's curated information is also included in my virtual black doll museum (VBDM) and on the museum's Pinterest board devoted to vintage-doll installations. 


Green doll's eyes

I purchased these eyes to replace My Twinn Beatriz's eyes which had turned cloudy. The doll's head was sent to a My Twinn "specialist," who replaced the eyes and returned the head to me with the eyelashes detached. I reattached the eyelashes and the head to make my lovely Beatriz whole. A blog post includes before and after photos of Beatriz. The My Twinn doll installation at the VBDM site includes Beatriz.


Jasmine by Fiba


Because doll display space is very limited, I usually shy away from purchasing dolls taller than 20 inches. I try to limit purchases to dolls 18 inches or shorter, preferably shorter, but limitations always have exceptions, and Jasmine's purchase was one. She is a 25-inch doll made in Spain by Fiba that kept calling my name after I saw her on eBay. I could not refuse the seller's price. Ideally, I would like to redress Jasmine in more modern clothes. Perhaps this post will give me the incentive to redress her soon. Jasmine has also been installed in my VBDM. View the installation here. A picture of Jasmine is also pinned to the museum's modern dolls Pinterest board here
