Yesterday I felt the need to indulge in a little dolly shopping on eBay. I found a 2000 version of the 18" Kitty listed by a dealer (not a doll collector), so I made a ridiculous offer (mainly to compensate for the shipping costs) and much to my surprise, it was accepted. She has the KC head and body, with the most beautifully styled rooted blonde hair, pretty blue inset eyes and a stunning gown.
"In a make-believe time and place, Kitty opens up her dress shop, which boasts the most beautiful clothing and accessories. Always the height of elegance, Kitty wears her highly detailed ensembles with great feminine flair. In 2000, Kitty Collier™ made her debut, marching onto the fashion doll scene as an unprecedented 18” full vinyl fashion doll with a vintage touch, bringing a breath of fresh air to collectors everywhere. All Kitty Collier™ dolls have rooted hair and high quality inset eyes. Since 2003, Kitty Collier™ has had bent knees, swivel waist and rotational hip joints making her ever so poseable."
As you can see from the photos, she looks like she's in excellent condition, so I am feeling pretty pleased with myself and my purchase. I probably should not have purchased any more dolls until I made more room, but who can resist a pretty doll at Christmas?
What a lovely gift for yourself! I hope she will arrive soon and is everything you expect her to be. Have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mia. I hope you find wonderful things in your Christmas stocking. :)

Ooo, I didn't know Kitty ever came with inset eyes! What a looker she is!
ReplyDeleteThank you RM. I'm pleased that she has inset eyes, as they look more realistic.

Kitty is very beautiful. I love her blond hair and eyes. So 18" - is she equivalent to MSD or more SD size? The dress is gorgeous. Congrats on bringing her home!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too Alasse. Yes she is a tall one, in fact the tallest I have purchased this year. I didn't think I would be adding a doll this tall to my collection as I was trying to keep to 14" and under, but one can never know which doll is going to steal their heart next. :)
DeleteHave a great Christmas!

ReplyDeleteThank you Joanna, I do too. She certainly looks okay in the photos, but only time will tell. :)
DeleteHappy Christmas!

Oooh, she is so cute! Congratulations on getting her, such a perfect Christmas present :)! What can be better than a pretty doll for that ;)?
ReplyDeleteThank you Chiriann. I wasn't going to bring any more dolls home this year, but I was afraid if I didn't bring her home, I would regret it later because bride dolls are more difficult to find, especially pretty ones. Hope you find something pretty under your tree this Christmas.

Thank you Linda, I have always loved bride dolls because of their beautiful gowns. You don't seem to see many brides amongst the new dolls now. I think with the holidays and Covid she will take a little while in arriving, but I don't mind as I'll have plenty to keep me busy. I hope you find something special in your Christmas stocking!
