Glitter Girls - Nelly 14-inch Poseable Fashion Doll - Dolls for Girls Age 3 & Up,Yellow

Preface: These dolls are made for ages 3 and up. I purchased this doll for my 5 year old and 2 year old daughters. My 2 year old will only play with doll with my supervision as I teach her more about gentle play and motor skills.1. Value for money: Great value. We're Puerto Rican and I've been trying to find a doll that has our hair type. I found dolls online that were exactly what I was looking for in hair type, but they were more expensive. For a 5 year old and a 2 year old, I wasn't ready to make that investment without knowing how they would handle a curly haired doll. I found this one and thought she was so beautiful, I decided to give her a try. Inspired from another review of this same doll, I decided to finger curl her hair, which isn't needed since her hair was already soft and beautiful and gives it a cute fro style, but I wanted to make sure her curls didn't get severely tangled during play. It was worth the effort! The hair quality is so nice and her curls came out beautifully.2. Style: Decent style: the overall appearance of the doll is gorgeous. Her eyes are stunning in a light pinkish brown hue, and her face design is adorable. Her outfit choice is not really my style since I wouldn't dress my daughters in the style, but I do love the colors. The shoes match the accent colors on the tunic perfectly, and the gold glitter bow matches the gold glitter butterfly designs on the leggings. I would have preferred a cute yellow dress with maybe the skirt having a tulle design of the pinks and oranges accents of the tunic, and a matching cropped jacket or cardigan. Any outfit that has pink accents really bring out the dolls eyes.3. Sturdiness: Very sturdy with no rough play. These dolls are bendy dolls, so the arms, legs, and feet can bend at the joints like a rubber toy. The hair seems to be well rooted after the rigorous brushing I put her through (brushed wet hair from tips to roots). The arms and legs move with ease at their sockets and don't feel like they'll pop out easily. A child would have to play tug of war to really get the limbs out, so I feel good with the 2 year old playing "gently" with her.4. Overall: Glad I made this purchase. We will see if she stands the test of time with my girls, but I see myself buying more dolls from this line so that my daughters and I can have tea parties with our "besties". Very well made for the price.

She is a sweetheart. She is pretty, the prefect size, and of great value for the money. I’ve made a great choice when selecting her.

“Odessa” is very close to Jana – another Glitter Girls doll that comes with the dog (search Amazon for “Glitter Girls Jana & Cuddles). The skin tone and hair color & length are the same. Odessa’s eyes are a pretty shade of teal blue – they match her teal shirt, but they are definitely not green as described. Jana’s eyes are light blue. Odessa has more of a matte complexion and pale pink lips. Jana has a bit of a shine to her complexion, and more noticeably pink lips. (See pic for comparison, although note that Jana is currently dressed in a different outfit – “Let’s go for a run dog walking outfit.”)Otherwise, Odessa is a nice quality doll on par with other Glitter Girls dolls. Her hair is soft. Her expression is cute (and exactly like Jana’s). Her limbs are moveable, and she does stand on her own. Her outfit is especially cute with the velvet teal top, glittery pink tulle skirt, and pink leggings.Overall Odessa is a nice quality doll, but if I did it again, I would have chosen either Jana or Odessa, not both.

Edit: I've had to take on the task of styling her hair after our 2 year old decided to "make it pretty!" I used a spray bottle of water and kept the hair quite damp as I brushed her entire head out working from the bottom to the scalp. Then I took tiny sections of hair and finger curled them twisting them tightly. I probably could have gone with even smaller sections of hair, but it took enough patience to do this! I let it air dry completely. For now the girls want it left down but when it is pulled up, it is very similar to her original look, just with slightly more distinct curls. I hope this helps someone!I love this Glitter Girl by Battat. Our girls have previously been into Battats line of 18" Our Generation Dolls but are seeing the advantages of these. They are easier to play with. If your child still plays with dolls by themselves then 14" dolls are easier to move around and dress/undress. They are like the perfect cross between a 12" fashion doll and an 18" "girl doll".I love Nelly's hair. I'm a bit at a loss for how to style it, because I don't want to loose the super tight curl. But don't want it to turn to a frizzy knotty mess either.Her clothes are well made. i'm not a fan of her top, but her leggings with the gold butterflies are cute and will pair well with other outfits.She is very flexible and easy to pose.

Her hair came in “piggy tails” with 3 rubber bands up and down each side, so not as in picture. Also, the box is cute but there’s no window like on other boxes, just a picture of the doll. A kid opening this is not going to understand what the gift is. I got it for my 3 year old so I’ll just help her open it when she opens her gift but older than that is going to be difficult to explain. Doll itself is cute.

Perfect for a 👧

The media could not be loaded.  My daughter & I love these Glitter Girls dolls! They're one of the best on the market for the price. My daughter got Odessa for her 4th birthday & 6 months later she's still holding up great! I love the outfit, her hair still has get to become matted (although we still have in the pigtails she came with), & for complexion is perfect! I appreciate that for a brown doll, she isn't ashy or dull/ has a grey undertone like many other brown dolls out there. 10/10 recommend!

Kelty was a great hit for my great granddaughter. She loves Kelty and so do I so real life hair that combs so we went out and brought Kelty her own comb and brush set

The photo is alittle misleading.or i need new glasses…She comes african black skin not latino.skinnedI know it doesn’t really matter… skin colour…but our girl hates how everyone stares at her. She has a disability.Trying to find the perfect little match,but it is to her. so i give up. She carries her around everywhere.

Es la quinta muñeca que adquiero. Me encantan!!

Hermosa

The media could not be loaded.  True to size and well made to balance while standing, sitting holding position. Her hair is soft and manageable to braid, style or what have you. I've already removed the bands from her hair to braid it. The bow in her hair is a lovely touch. She's ready to live her best life. Happy for her.

Odessa es una bella muñeca.
