I'm thrilled to announce the arrival of several new Sydneys to my collection. I'm surprised at some of the variety, even within the same sculpt.First, Opening Night Sydney, an Ebay find. I had to steam her dress and shawl, and I washed out the goop in her hair before displaying her. She's gorgeous.
Next, Sydney Panache, a rooted short haired doll, whom I found nude from The Doll Peddlar. She was a steal, and in great condition. I still need to find a decent outfit for her: I just threw on an outfit I had lying around so she would be decent for photos.
Finally, I added Sydney on the Rocks to my collection. She's a limited edition doll, exclusive available through Chelsea's Collector Cottage in Australia. She was listed on sale for just $59.95 (shipping is pretty pricey, though--so buyer beware!) last week. I think she may be my new favorite doll. Her face is rounder than the other Sydney dolls I have, and her skin is very pale. I love her outfit and her dress, though I broke her earrings trying to put them in, and I will need to restring them.
Opening Night Sydney - this doll is amazing! I like her dress so much. This wonderful effect on the fabric - from pink to lavender, so delicate... And On the Rocks - very beautiful face, love it. Congrats!

ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled with both of those dolls, too. Opening Night is gorgeous--and I've tried steaming her gown multiple times to get the creases out with varied success. ;)
On the Rocks is such an unusual Sydney doll--her face really looks different to me than the others. She really looks less haughty than others of the same sculpt, almost girlish.
