There are some things I like better about Mattel dolls and some things I like better about PM dolls.

I like the PM eyelashes better, and also their soft vinyl. It makes them more huggable because they are more "soft".

But I do like the Mattel face coloring. It's getting the point where its a little too much now though..like they actually applied lipstick and blush. The PM ones have nice, cleaner natural no-makeup faces.
