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.
