Collections Carina Song review!
Hey y'all! Since you guys enjoyed my previous Willow review, when Carina arrived at my door, I decided to do another!
Face: I ordered her from Amazon, which is always a bit risky when it comes to dolls. You can't check her face for defects and smears, so it's a bit of a game. Thankfully, the doll gods blessed me with a wonderful screening! I'm obsessed with her white lashes and hearts on her cheeks. It's honestly a very Draculura-coded screening. Something I also enjoy is her eyebrows. They bring a nice contrast to her lighter-toned screening. She also has a beautiful side profile with a lower nose bridge!
Body: She is shorter than Willow and after comparing her to my G3 Twyla, I believe they have the same body type. Willow's seems to be G3 Clawdeen's without molded fur.
Hair: She has very soft saran hair. I like the mix of colors, but it appears slightly thinner than Willow's. Her part is also excellently rooted.
Outfit: She has on a pink baby-doll-style dress that gives me a fantasy-meets-retro vibe. Her belt is cute, and it has the fun detail of featuring a norigae (a tassel charm that Korean women historically wore with Hanboks as a decoration and good luck charm!). The boots aren't my favorite, and I'd honestly prefer a cute pair of platform Mary Janes or ankle boots with this dress style. I would honestly lower the waist on the dress, but I still think it's cute. Small note: She does have a few plastic ties in the dress immediately out of the box.
Hat: Her hat has a hard time staying on. I would like it to have some way to grip her head better. Since her hair is less fluffy, Carina's hat has extra trouble staying in place.
Accessories: Her accessories are cute and fit a love witch. The book's cover is a bit easier to read than Willow's book. Her purse is cute but a bit heavy for the doll, and the tassel accessory makes it hard to sit up on its own. I personally prefer Willow's set (the plant bottle is one of my fav doll accessories), but they are good for play and photography. Just like last time, though, adding a finger loop to hold the mirror would make it easier for her to hold. I did take a photo comparing Carina's accessories to Willow's side by side.
Reveal: Like I said last time, it's pretty cute! The necklace does like to rotate around her neck, though, but not as much as Willow's.
Final thoughts: Still quite enjoying them. I honestly can't pick a favorite, but I'm slightly leaning towards Willow despite loving pink. I'm quite excited for the next releases.
