Some of the first dolls who were part of this "1st" generation were Arianna, Samantha, Makayla, Summer, Juli, Liberty, Alyssa, and Alexa.

Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2015-01-13 20:30

They were affordable 18" dolls similar to Our Generation dolls (with whom they are often compared). Opinions vary, but many feel the facesculpts were done well, with lovely expressive faces and striking jewel-like eyes. [node:read-more:link]
