I like Jess way better than Marisol, and her stuff a lot more too!

But I think more girls can identify with Marisol than Jess. I got Marisol's ballet outfits (both of them and of course the doll) because I love dance. More young girls have had experience with dance than with kayaking!

I really think that Jess's collection SHOULD have more play value though. My husband even putters her around the living room when she's in the kayak.

I'm sad she's not selling well, but maybe that will make her more rare and exciting to own.
