I said "But she has red hair and green eyes." He told me that I've been in Tulsa too long. Maybe so.<br /><br />I think you're right about Tika. I did a brief search, and the information that I read about the Flavas line is that they represent Black, White, and Hispanic people. So I wonder if I should have included Liam in this post? My Liam looks White, but I've seen other Liams that do look like they could be Hispanic.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-21192531336501800292014-10-27T12:50:02.161-05:002014-10-27T12:50:02.161-05:00Thank you The grandmommy! For dolls in the second ...Thank you The grandmommy! For dolls in the second table, there is nothing about the manufacturing (that I'm aware of) that indicates that they are Hispanic. For the GI Joe helicopter pilot, I've always thought that she's Hispanic. For Prince Aidan, I didn't know if Mattel intended for him to be Hispanic, but he has always been so in my doll world. For the dollar store guy and the unknown action figure guy, I was looking around my doll room for Hispanic dolls for this post, and I saw those 2 and thought "could be."RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-34147871734853674692014-10-27T12:36:55.857-05:002014-10-27T12:36:55.857-05:00Thanks jSarie!

Her hair is pulled back into a bun. Under the uniform, she has breasts and a waist. Is she convincing as a female? Well, you be the judge. :)RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-92178673479169862492014-10-27T12:32:58.649-05:002014-10-27T12:32:58.649-05:00Thanks Billa!

She has no such markings that I was able to identify. On your blog in one of the posts were you were featuring Linda's dolls for sale, there was one of these lighter dolls that Linda had identified as "Wanda". You might check with her to see if she still has it for sale.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-42470954469498052992014-10-27T12:20:18.003-05:002014-10-27T12:20:18.003-05:00Lovely!

Flava...Lovely! I'm especially taken with Lola.<br /><br />Flavas Tika might be canonically Hispanic, since Flavas were supposed to be multi-ethnic.<br /><br />My theory on dollar-store dolls and action figures is that, in the absence of other markings (which is most of the time), they are whatever ethnicity seems plausible from their look.Smaller Placeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920553947009088392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-65512784096670048582014-10-27T12:17:49.999-05:002014-10-27T12:17:49.999-05:00Thanks Pam!

I don't think that Aidan was marketed as being Hispanic, but he is in my doll world. :) The dolls in that second table are just my speculation or reflective of what's in my doll world.
