Our Felicity has the slight gray/green tint and is from that time frame. I would have never noticed it if I hadn't read about it on this board. In fact, all our dolls have slightly different skin tones. I never considered returning Felicity. She is still pretty with her "olive" skin. I have olive skin myself. When I stand next to my husband who is Irish and has a red tone to his skin, I look almost yellowish green ( yuck!). Oh well, it just makes our doll more "human."
