With 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.

If you think you can help me out with this database, please feel free to send me an email! Any help is greatly appreciated 
I 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*
First, a question… is there an online database or list somewhere that names all the Janay (and friends) dolls released? I could only find Fashion Royalty lists so far…
Second, my first Janay doll! … with Gumby* arms :S
Here is… Janay – Icons: Fashion Idols (2003)

I’ve been waiting for an articulated Kyori doll with brown eyes and black hair that I could *afford* to add to my collection. This doll went on sale but she doesn’t have black hair… so medium-dark brown hair will have to do for now…
Kyori - Flight Pattern
Of course, no post is complete without a criticism by yours truly – why does Kyori have to be characterised with that awful Dragon Lady (the Asian version of the Sapphire caricature) stereotype? Why couldn’t she be an average girl next door… you know, like the Perrin sisters?
