Their dolls are full vinyl, and much slimmer than the soft-body American Girl. Back in the late '90's, the Magic Attic Club was one of American Girl's main rivals.Megan has the new face sculpt, which I'd suspected from the two pictures the ebayer posted, and I'm very excited about that!įor those of you who don't have the history of the Magic Attic Club memorized, here's a quic, review, as it relates to these dolls: Old (kanekalon hair) Heather and Rose, and new (wigged Saran hair) Alison and Megan. One one or two or three, but four new Magic Attic dolls.
MAGIC ATTIC CLUB DOLLS VALUE MAC
Due to her being 50cm/19+5/8", she can share the 18" furniture pretty well, and alternates between living with the xtra tall Monster High dolls and the MAC girls. Alison also pretty much always has to wear a hat due to her bald spots in the back.Īnd over in the corner, wearing Megan's jacket and some hand-knit tights is Helena. The main problem about buying dolls without buying extra outfits is that everyone has to share Alison's collection of casual clothes and whatever outfits they were wearing when I got them (which wasn't much). Outfit wise, Rose and Megan are still in their party dresses, but everyone else is back in more normal clothes. Megan's sort of the mediator of the group. Megan's got her hand pretty close to Alison's foot and is probably ready to grab it if Ali starts trying to cause too much trouble. Not basing this off stuff I did as a kid or anything. Here Heather is trying to braid Rose's hair, but Alison keeps sticking her bare foot on the back of Rose's neck to see if she'll notice that it's not Heather's hand. Due to their legs splaying when they're sitting, these dolls aren't always the best for displaying while they're sitting, but I think it's cuter that way. It's not glued down and sometimes it just moves places, so forgive that in the pictures. It also doesn't help that it's a 10-11 wig and she's an 11" head, which is apparently too big for a 10-11 wig. Right now she looks like Alison Minus Bangs and that's not what I'm going for. I don't actually like this wig too much for her, so she has another in the mail to see how that works out. That hair was a disaster so I shaved it and gave her a wig. (It's been so fucking long since I've written here that I don't remember if I ever explained it, but Riley was one of the 2002 model Alison's with rooted hair. She ended up going back to Alison, but that friend's last name was Riley, so we're going to stick that name on Riley and call it good. When I was a kid and had just unwrapped Alison, I wanted to name her after my friend from preschool because they both looked sort of the same. Anyway, that cover and that blurb from the catalogue can definitely influence how Riley's personality is going, but for now she's Riley.
