The 41cm (16") Vidal Rojas Mari Dolls have naturally proportioned bodies made of hard vinyl. When they were new, they smelt of vanilla, but that has completely faded away now.
They are five way jointed and although their heads turn, they do not move up or down. This makes posing them a little difficult, but they are still stunning to look at. The dolls come complete with undies, socks and shoes which allows them to stand unaided.
Cierra has beautiful straight red hair and fixed green eyes, with some very faint freckles sprinkled across her very petite nose.
Whilst Marina has wavy black hair with blue eyes, which I find very striking. I'm not a real fan of their eyebrows, but that could be easily fixed.
Both dolls have hand applied eyelashes, which are very long and may not be to everyone’s liking, but trimming them is definitely an option. I like them just as they are! Their hair is rooted, thick and easily brushed.
These really lovely dolls, which were made in Spain, sold for €19.95 each, which in itself is really quite reasonable for a doll of this quality. Unfortunately, it looks like these dolls went out of production, which is sad, because I wouldn't have minded adding a blonde with curly hair and brown eyes to my collection.
I spent a little more time with my pretty Marina and after dressing her and tying her hair hack with a ribbon, I thought it was time for a photoshoot.
As you can see, her hair is absolutely gorgeous, it's very full with just the right amount of wave and a lovely sheen.
I still haven't done anything about her eyebrows, but I think Marina would make a wonderful Snow White given the right costuming. She has a beautiful face.
