Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There seems to be a drop in quality between the first wave dolls and these newer dolls. I bought Melrose, and she is a pretty big disappointment for $26.
First off, there was a weird chemical smell in the box, and some of the rubber bands that hold the doll in place felt wet/greasy and I had to immediately wash my hands. Yuck.
The wig is ok, but it feels greasy, the bangs are uneven and the hairs fall out easily...and it doesn't stay on the doll's head at all. I know people had trouble with the first wave wigs staying on, but this seems even worse to me. Part of the problem might be that this doll's head seems to be slightly smaller/flimsier than the older dolls (??).
The doll has very similar make-up to the first wave Melrose, but with lighter, less detailed lips. Lots of the shimmery paint around the eyes had dripped or bled down the face one one side...hard to see in the store but quite obvious after she's out of the box. The head articulation is floppy. Something rattling inside. Most of the dolls in the store had black spots on their faces, mine has a black spot on her chest. I would not order this doll online where you can't see what flaws you're getting.
The clothing is, to put it bluntly, pretty ugly. I like the little jacket, but the fringed top and skirt are all one piece, really stiff, and they look cheap. Bad materials. The fringe doesn't lie flat. The pants are better than the top, but nothing special. This outfit has none of the intricate details or class of Melrose's first outfit.
The guitar is hollow in the back and cheap-looking. I threw it away.
The purse is lacking all of the little details that made the first wave purses so awesome. It is simple and quickly-made.
In short: She smells funny, the pants and jacket are the only accessories I want to keep and I have to fix her face paint just to make her almost as nice as the first Melrose. Not worth it.
I thought the original Moxie Teenz dolls were brilliant. I loved all of the care and detail that was put into them for the price. The purses were amazing and detailed, the clothes were stylish and well-made with good materials and lots of interchangeable pieces. This new wave, if Melrose is any indication, has taken a lot of shortcuts without changing the price at all. :O(
