The way you describe Kaya is wonderful. Can you put up a pic of her? Please do I have thought of getting her and I am not sure to get her.

Well she just arrived. I am absolutly flabbergasted! She is breath taking. She has to be in a whole nother league. She isn't ANYTHING like the other AG's just gorgous! She is a must for any collection, and I can't believe I hesitated as long as I did!! I hate myself for waiting this long to get her. Ok she's definatly one of my favorites now. I thought that with Nellie and Jess there wouldn't even be another in their league (as nellie looks like me and jess has my personality). But man was I wrong. I love all my dolls but some just have a little bit of extra special-ness.
Ok time for a review.
The doll is again breath taking. She has to have the longest hair of all the other AGs. Her eyes are wide and a most beautiful shade of brown, I believe they are the same shade as Jess' but because of Kaya's darker toned skin they seem to "pop" all the more. I wasn't sure if I'd be super keen on the closed mouth mold... but it absolutly makes the doll. Her lips are full and just beautiful. I am LOVING this face mold.
Her dress. It is so soft and lucious. In the pictures I imagined that it was going to be some what corse. But it is just as soft as real dear skin. Very VERY impressed! I haven't taken her moccassins off, so I can't comment on those. I will say this is definatly a cuddable doll.
Two things I was surprised at, that was a bit of a shock. First there is a smudge on her dress. Sometimes both artifical and real leathers will have smudges like this, so I called CS, and asked about it. I was hoping if it was a problem they'd send me a new dress and NOT a new doll. Already bonded and I'm not giving her up. But they told me that it's suppose to be a thumb smudge, which is historically acurate. I did not know that and no one knows what this signifies (I'd love to know please tell me if anyone on the board has any information). Breath a sigh of relief because I wasn't parting with her. Something to know for those thinking of getting Kaya.
The next is I don't feel she is really a doll for a small child. My daughter is absolutly enraptured by her... she is running around the house talking to her and fetching her real food... which isn't the problem. I just noticed the way that some of her fringe and decoration's on her dress are applied would be easy for a small child to mess up.
Well that's my review. I've got one pic, because of all days today my camera felt it would wig out.

I'm so glad you love your Kaya. Did you attack the UPS man when he finally got there?
I've had mine for a long time, and only recently realized that she is BEAUTIFUL!
She looks good in everything.
Skittl1321 does any of your albums have a pic of kaya?

I agree Kaya isn't the most kid friendly doll. I am an adult and am always afraid I will damage the outfit taking it on and off.
Of course, I had to take the meet outfit off mine permenently though because my sister's CAT kept attacking the fringe. [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img] I know it's not real leather but it's close enough she finds it very tasty.
Congratulations on getting Kaya! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Your description DOES make me want her. Kaya, like Addy, is better in person. The catalogue does not do them justice!
Miss Nellie, have you read Kaya's books? The smudge isn't just any smudge. Hers is made with something she really loves and sometimes gets in trouble over. It doesn't mention the smudge specifically in the books, but with the coloring of it, it just has to be... given her zest for... well, you gotta read the books.
When we went to Chicago, my mom almost had a panic attack when we were leaving the hotel. She had never noticed the smudge before and thought Kaya had gotten something on her dress. We decided to check the other Kayas in the store to see if it was normal. We stood in front of the case in the bookstore, looked at that doll, looked at each other and said, "______ stain!"

You can check the "Samantha finds a box album, she might show up once, maybe"
I know there is one in the craft album, and she is in the "kirsten" album.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Okay, you gotta help me out. I've read the books and can't place what you are talking about. Can you point to the specific book I should look to?Originally posted by jrtmom3274:

Where on the dress is the smudge- I've never seen it. I'm not good at noticing detail- it was a year before I noticed her mouth was closed!
Thanks for the review! She is on our wish list. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
