Jakks Pacific Inc., like Mattel, produces more toy offerings
than just dolls. And they tend to lean toward putting out celebrity dolls like
Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, Charlies Angels, Kylie Minogue and Josie and the
Pussycats, but they also make theme dolls like this one, part of a series of
awards dolls that included music, theatrical and Hollywood award dolls. I could
not find another doll like this one, but I did find another music awards doll
that features the same doll, the same starry backdrop, and the same crystal
award statuette. The doll is still secured to her box’s backdrop with the
original factory restraints. I think my mom removed the front of the box to
allow for a better view of the doll, and for obvious reasons. The doll’s
super-cool, full-length, navy, faux-leather coat is the star here. The skirt
and top are less dramatic but somehow work well with the coat. Throw in nylon
stockings, a choker necklace and some heels and the vision is complete. The
shoes are still in their bag and the crystal statuette that has the identifying
“Girl Scene” on it is still behind its cello mold, and the doll’s hair is still
held neatly in place by the original cello restraints. The doll is quite
lovely. She is 12” tall and has arched feet, blond hair that is partially
braided, and blue eyes.
This doll somehow made it into my mother’s extensive Barbie
doll collection. Knowing my mother, it was that coat that prompted the
purchase, that same coat the reason the front of the box is M.I.A. I am
surprised that she didn’t put the shoes on the doll, because shoes were her
“thing.” And though the front of the doll’s box got hacked off, she was still protected
over the years, safely stored away from smoke, dust, dampness, and rogue kitty
cats with hand and feet mauling on their agendas.
Please note that I do not ship outside of the continental
U.S., but don’t let that stop you. You can purchase through Ebay’s Global
Shipping Program or arrange for shipment through an independent overseas
shipping service. I do combine shipping so she could travel in good company
with a Barbie.
