She is coming to me after Christmas, without her box or COA, which I wouldn't have expected anyway for her bargain price, however, she is stamped with the Tonner name. I really wanted a curly red haired girl. but they are like hens teeth to get hold of, as those on offer will not ship out of the USA. I think a new wig should take care if that though.
A basic 8" Tonner Betsy cost US$39.95 and the Tonner outfits usually sell from US$24.95 for a set like this on their own, so I was really pleased to pay what I did.
Well that's it for today . . . HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Big hugs,

EDIT: 28th December.
Tiny Betsy arrived today and I am so pleased I purchased her. Her head moves up and down, as well as side to side, her eyes close, her arms move at the shoulders, but there is no elbow joint. However, her legs have both a hip and knee joint, which will help when posing her.
Betsy is made of hard plastic which has a nice feel in one's hands, it's smooth and not too shiny. She measures 20 cm (7+7/8") tall but her wig gives her just a little additional height making her 20.3 cm (a perfect 8 inch doll).
Her wig, unfortunately is glued on, so it might take some fiddling to replace it. I am having second thoughts about this now, as it's a really nice wig, fine, without fly-aways and combs easily. The little "clips" were not as I expected, so I shall take the flowers off and sew them onto proper clips.
The clothes she is wearing are really well made, with neat finishing, no loose threads and back closures are done with press studs (snaps) and not that yucky Velcro. To be honest, I couldn't have made them any better myself . . . so over all, it's a thumbs up to Tonner!!
