I thought this was interesting.I have always wondered why there were some slight variations in the molds.This is so cool.There is pic on the webpage too.


"The Pleasant Company's American Girl? doll was such a big hit that the master mold wore out. Because lost wax casting destroys the finished wax master, the only way to get a new master mold is to make a new finished wax. All the original pre-production molds were lost. Erin faithfully recreated the American Girl? head from the production doll."

Oh, I remember seeing that. It was before I found this messageboard. It's interesting to learn how they make it.

Thanks for sharing!

That does explain the differences in the sizes of the early dolls' heads.

Thanks that was cool. But the doll face mold is kind of spooky the way it looks. [img]eek.gif[/img]
