BB Model 05 Redressed
Sunday, January 17th, 2010When Diversity Choice = Blonde or Redhead
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010hmmm… not really
Blue Caprice, Red Desire and Midnight Lace (W Club Lotto)
Unfortunately for fans of Gene Marshall, it was announce last year that Gene would be retiring this year along with her friends Violet Waters (tanned/dark skin doll) and Madra Lord (dark haired doll).
Gene Marshall was designed by Mel Odom and originally produced by Ashton-Drake from 1995 and then by Integrity Toys from 2006 onwards.
Part of the celebration (well not really but it sort of became part of it once the retirement announcement was made in my opinion) of Gene’s retirement was the release of three “mini” Gene dolls in 12″ size, the regular Gene dolls are 15 1/2″ tall. They are very expensive (for me) and that’s why it took so long after their release to get just one doll.
I chose the blonde one (which is odd for me because usually I prefer redheads over blonde… just not in this case).

Officially Obsessed with Janay and Friends
Monday, January 11th, 2010It’s official. I am OBSESSED with JANAY and FRIENDS.
 Janay |
 Alysa |
 Giselle |
 Jade |
I spend hours searching on the internet and ebay for Janay dolls and friends. They are near impossible to find. If you think Janay is hard to find… try looking for her friends!
I even know what my holy grail set of Janay and Friends will be – the Iceland Ball series. I can’t find anymore images anywhere and I’m giving myself ten years to complete this series. LOL. I like lots of time…
After Janay, I’m looking furiously for Giselle dolls – not the Fashion Royalty one – and then followed by Jade and Alysa. I’m not sure… but do Alysa and Jade share face sculpts? Their noses sort of look a teensy bit different but I can’t tell from the tiny pictures I’ve got! They both have a squarish jawline lol like me… speaking of which… my tooth hurts…
I’ve posted topics in forums craving for any Janay tidbits. Multiple forums. Yep, obsessed.
Working on the Janay Face Sculpt Database
Friday, January 8th, 2010With many thanks to D7ana, Kim and the internet, the Janay Face Sculpt database is going quite well. There are still a lot more dolls missing and a lot of stock numbers missing, some of the years of released noted are a bit iffy.

Looking to Start up a Janay Database
Monday, January 4th, 2010I have left this note at the Yahoo Integrity Toys Janay and Friends group
Hi, I’m hoping to start up a database for past Janay playline dolls. I am mostly interested in Janay at this point in time and will eventually want to list the other dolls in the series too.
This is a sample page of what the list will look like – http://www.abcdoll.org/dollwiki/Mbili_Face_Mould – this is a list of Mattel dolls with the Mbili face sculpt. I list them by faces and by characters and sometimes if I have time, by series too.
If you could help me out, please email me pictures of Janay dolls at dollsofcolor @ gmail.com (remember to take out the spaces!)
Information required -
01. Face photo taken from the front showing face paint, hair etc
02. Name of doll/series, year released, stock number
03. Extra notes and photos are bonus!Thanks, I’m really hoping to hear from anyone soon!
I’m extending this request here too.
Another thing… the Janay face – this one – was Janay the first character to use this sculpt? I generally title my lists after the doll to first use the sculpt. And then I also write up a character list, since one character can use various sculpts over time.
Any help will be appreciated!
PS. I am also broke… so any offers to buy this or that rare htf Janay will be sadly declined. I am only after information, not solid goods… although I wish I could buy all the Janays in the world… *dreams*
