I have a Carpatina doll (Emma) I haven't had a chance to play with her yet, beyond dressing her, but I can tell you the quality is wonderful. Though they have vinyl bodies, the quality is on par with AG. I even thought her eyes and hair were a little better! Their eyelashes are sooo pretty.

I only briefly saw a LoF doll (Violet) in person. She was pretty too! The fact that they don't have sleep eyes, though, gives me the creeps to be honest. I'm from that school of girls who had to put her dolls in the closet every night, because I didn't want them watching me while I slept.
