Teen Girl Doll Comparisons

Here are some teen girl doll comparisons.  A couple of them were in previous comparisons, but I wanted to put them with other similarly sized dolls.  They are from left to right:  Wee Three Friends Janet, Super Model Bel doll with Calista head, Hispanic everGirl, Flavas Kiyoni Brown, V.I.P. A.N.T. Farm Chyna, and Sashabella Paws.
Calista is the only one that can stand on her own in bare feet.  The others can stand in certain shoes.

Here they are showing their elbow flexibility.  They all have jointed elbows.  Sashabella Paws has the most flexibility in this pose.

Here they are sitting on the floor trying to cross their arms while showing their feet.  Sashabella Paws comes the closest to being able to cross her arms.  Janet has very large feet and can share shoes with Ken.  The others have doll friends that they can share shoes with.  Calista has arched feet and articulation at the ankle, so she can wear flat or heeled shoes.

Here they are doing a side stretch.  Calista and Sashabella have articulation at the lower torso, while  Kiyoni and Chyna have articulation at the upper torso.  Kiyoni's side arch is the most impressive.

Here they are in the "walk like an Egyptian" pose.  Calista and Sashabella have articulation at the wrists, while the others do not.  As previously stated, Calista also has articulation at the ankles.  I think that Sashabella does this the best.  What do you think?

Here they are attempting kneeling back bends.  Janet, Hispanic everGirl (does anyone know which one she is - Joy, Hope, Skye, or Starr), and Kiyoni have clicky knees and can not kneel.  Chyna does this pose the best.

Here they are showing off their hands.  None of them are able to grasp objects in their hands.  I like Calista's hands the best.

Here they are attempting to sit cross-legged on the floor.  Calista does this the best.

Here they are attempting to do middle splits.  It's close between Calista and Sashabella, but I think that Calista does this slightly better.

 Here they are doing front splits.  Kiyoni does this the best.

 Here they are doing a leg lift.  Janet does this the best.

Here they are sitting down.  Since Calista, Chyna, and Sashabella have articulation at the knees, they look more natural in seated positions.  

 Do you have a favorite among these dolls?  What makes that particular doll stand out for you?  Which ones pose the best?  Which ones look the best?  Which dolls are the most realistic?

  4. For me, there's a tie between Calista and Kiyoni. Sashabelle's posing ability though would give her extra points except that her head is too big.

    I like Chynadoll in your dolls; I would not have thought that but she glows among your teen girls. Such a beaming, happy face she has ;-)

    1. Hi D7ana! Yes, Chyna looks like she's having fun with every pose. One day another head will find it's way to Sashabella's body. One day...

  5. I like the fact that Calista has wrist and ankle joints, so she's my favourite :-).

    1. Thanks for your reply Nymphaea! I also like all of her articulation, and the fact that her feet are slightly arched and she looks good in heeled or flat shoes. There's a lot that I like about her.

  6. Regarding the Hispanic everGirl doll you have, you asked:

    "Here they are attempting kneeling back bends. Janet, Hispanic everGirl (does anyone know which one she is - Joy, Hope, Skye, or Starr)"

    The everGirl dolls were in Toy Fair 2005. I got my dolls around 2009 when some of the information about them was no longer online. I think that there was an online program with characters with the names you listed, but I do not know how closely the online or the television program was tied in with the dolls. None of the dolls I bought were assigned names.

    The symbols - star, etc. were related to the fashion style - preppy, sporty, etc.) and my understanding is that the child would decide which fashion style her doll followed :-)

    I've found 2 NRFB everGirls whose boxes I can photograph; I'll run them in a post this week ;-)

    Anyone familiar with the everGirl show?

    1. Thanks D7ana! I looked online for information on these dolls, and it's pretty scarce. I thought one site mentioned that those are the dolls' names, but it didn't say which doll was which. I've named my everGirl, but I'll change it if I ever find out that the manufacturer had already assigned her a name. It's just simpler that way.

  7. Sashabella looks best walking like an Egyptian, so for that reason alone she's my favorite here, lol.

    1. LOL Muff! I agree that Sashabella does it the best, but Chyna just looks like she's having so much fun doing it!

  8. Thanks for the comparisons. I like Sashabella the best. She reminds me of myself in the back bends.

    1. You're welcome MDW! It's pretty fun doing these comparisons. I do like Sashabella, but she will get a new head one day.

  9. It's always hard to pick a favourite. Sashabella poses best in walk like an Egyptian. I like Chyna's smile and Janet looks like she's always trying really hard to do her best. So - no favourites, they are all good.

    1. Thanks Carrickters! I had to go back and look at the Janet photos again. She does look like she's trying hard. I was happy for her that she was able to raise her leg the highest for the leg lift.

      Janet will probably get a new head too one day.
