The Connie Carters

Connie Carter #3 (the center doll) temporarily posed with two other redhead fashion dolls.

The redheaded "Connie Carter" (the center doll above) that arrived recently was purchased to display with two other redheads. Unfortunately, she doesn't display well with Demi Celia (on the left) and Studio XOXO! Basix Midnight Fire Fanah (on the right). 

The three Connies.

Connie #3 displays better with the two Connies that preceded her. I wanted them dressed in similar fashions. So I redressed the first two Connies, as shown next. 

They wear different colored, clingy spaghetti-strap dresses: light blue, gray, and tan.

They display much better together.

The white-haired doll looks like she could play the role of Storm (Ororo Monroe), described as one of the most powerful and iconic superheroes in the Marvel comics. Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp both played Storm in past X-Men movies. 

Another collector named his unbranded, maker-unnamed doll Connie Carter. I adopted that name from him. I love their gorgeous faces, dark lip color, articulation, and their low price, but I'm not very fond of the static-cling-prone nylon hair.

Redhead Fashion Dolls

Two new redheads

I ordered two more redheaded fashion dolls in August because (doll collectors are always drumming up a reason to buy a doll), I thought they would display well together with another doll that arrived recently. 

The Demi Celia doll

The first doll is by Demi Celia. 

Spreadsheet Description: 11-1/2-inch multiarticulated fashion doll has long, straight, red-rooted nylon hair with a middle part; brown-painted eyes, a faint sprinkling of freckles, dark red lip color on a closed mouth; sold nude, two extra sets of hands were included, an extra set of feet, and a personalized (Demi Celia) translucent doll stand.

Demi Celia's personalized translucent doll stand, extra hands and feet are illustrated.

Demi Celia and a Barbie You Create kit doll that uses the Mermaid sculpt are in a side-by-side headshot.

This doll's sculpt is very similar to the Barbie Mermaid sculpt, but Demi Celia's face is more elongated.

I dressed Demi Celia in a tan knit, spaghetti-strap dress that she initially tried on with two different pairs of shoes.

I created the monochromatic look by pairing the tan dress with champagne-colored shoes.

Next, she tried on a white pair of high heels.

Because she would be twinning with the recently acquired redhead that wears black, I dressed Demi Celia in a black dress, too. 

Demi Celia poses with the doll that inspired her purchase, Studio XOXO! Basix Midnight Fire Fanah, and Demi changed shoes.

Demi and Fanah's hair color matches perfectly. In the above photo, they both accessorize with MiniBrands shoes and handbags.

An unbranded redhead fashion doll with bright-red hair was the 2nd purchase.

The second doll is an unbranded redhead that, except for hair color, is identical to the two "Connie Carter" dolls that arrived in June of this year. Several hair colors were available when I purchased the previous two dolls, but at the time, I didn't think I needed a redheaded version. Doll needs or wants do change. 

This doll is also an 11-1/2-inch, multiarticulated fashion doll with red rooted nylon hair, brown-painted eyes, and a closed mouth with dark red lip color.  Unfortunately, her vivid red hair clashes when she is posed with Demi Celia and Fanah.

Connie Carter #3

Except for its gray color, Connie Carter #3 was dressed in an identical gray knit spaghetti-strap dress and gray high-heeled shoes. 

The three redheads posed together.

Three dolls with darker red hair (Fab Fringe Fashionista Barbie, Barbie Basics Model 03, and Barbie Looks Model #7) had their picture updated. 

I redressed Fab Fringe Barbie and Barbie Basics Model 03, accessorized them with MinBrands Fashion pieces, and posed them with Tamika (Barbie Looks Model #7).

The darker redheads with variations of burgundy hair color are seen in a close-up.

The six sensational dolls posed for a final photo.

While my ultimate goal of displaying together a trio of recently acquired dolls with the same hair color was not achieved, I enjoyed the time spent choosing clothing, shoes, and accessories, which always harkens back to my childhood time playing with Barbies.

The 15th Dr. Who

The 15th Dr. Who was released in 2025.

I was not interested in this doll when it was released in 2025. Recently, after taking another look at his online pictures and clothes and realizing how seldom decent-looking male doll clothes are available, I decided I needed him. I found him on eBay for a reasonable (make-offer) price.

His full-length in-box picture illustrates his outfit completely.

Spreadsheet Description: 12-inch articulated Ken as the 15th Doctor Who in the BBC's Doctor Who series, portrayed by Rwandan-Scottish actor Mizero Ncuti Gatwa, has a painted black crew cut, brown-painted eyes, a black mustache, and a closed mouth. Wears an orange, blue, and rust striped shirt, royal blue pants, a brown faux leather trench coat, and white low-top tennis shoes trimmed in red around the laces and royal blue near the toe tips. Includes a doll stand and a COA.

Mizero Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the role of the 15th Dr. Who in the BBC series of the same name, is featured on the box side panel.

A full-length picture of the doll and a description of Dr. Who's role is on the back of the box.

The back of the box describes the 15th Dr. Who as fashion-forward.

His clothes did influence this purchase, but my initial plan was to redress another doll in them.  

He's been unboxed, and for now, he will keep his clothes. 

Dr. Who unboxed

I gathered all the guys in my collection that use the same head sculpt for two group pictures.

In the two pictures above, Dr. Who (far right) poses with Barbie Basics Model 17 Ken, the Texas A&M Cheerleader, and redressed Ken Looks #25; all share the New Basic Ken Sculpt. See Looks 25 in his original clothes here.

Two Kens that use the New Basic Ken sculpt are missing from my collection, and they will remain missing.
