Victorian Porcelain Maid Dollhouse Miniature Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This detailed product review is a little strange because I don't know how much "Fun" or "Durable" this toy is intended to be. In fact, it's not really a toy. It's more of a doll for much older kids or adults to put into an elaborate setting such as a Victorian dollhouse built to period specifications.
Okay, this doll's little outfit is not removable, but that's okay because it's a pretty blue frock with a lace-trimmed white apron and looks like an authentic costume for a Victorian-era maid in an upscale British household. She also has a lace-trimmed white cap on her straight, fine, chestnut hair which seems to be sleeked back under the cap, probably in a chignon, though the cap is not removable.
She has painted-on black shoes. Her legs move in their hip-sockets but don't bend at the knee, so she can sit down in a chair with a table in front of her and maybe not look too weird. Her arms are not really posable to hold anything. But that's okay because she's probably meant to be standing in the background of a room.
What's special about her is the delicacy of her features and the sweet, youthfulness of her expression. Most dolls that are this tiny (about 5.5 inches) are hard to give realistic little faces: there is only about 0.5 inch between chin and eyebrows. So their expressions always seem a little off and they have an either mean look or a stupified look. Not this little doll. She will fit right into whatever fancy, period-piece dollhouse that you have constructed.
But she's not really a toy for young kids that want to move their dolls around like puppets or fuss with new hairstyles and outfits. Get those younger kids a larger doll like a Barbie, and save this one for the older collectors, dollhouse hobbyists, and miniatures fans.
