W Club 2015 Exclusive-Black Tie Ball Vanessa
There is no such thing as an un-opinionated doll collector. We all have our quirks and know what we like (sometimes only when we see it) and sometimes only when we are told what we are seeing. So when the latest W Club doll came out and the sculpt was listed as Vanessa 3.0, it seems like some collectors ignored her on principle. The next day we were told that she actually had the 1.0 original sculpt and more than a few reversed their opinion. I am not criticizing. I just found it a little amusing and more proof of what a fickle lot we are and just how hard these companies have to work to keep us happy.
My take on the doll: while I love platinum hair, I am not wild about the facial screening. She seems a little drugged to me. I also do not collect formal gowns so the fashion does nothing for me. I am a late comer to fashion royalty so I have no real loyalties to the early sculpts. I am actually quite fond of 3.0 and I bought the pale blonde Vanessa with the cream and black outfit last year. This one would seem sort of repetitive. Also, I really don't need another black dress. I am pretty sure that no collector needs another black dress. Enough with the black dresses.
On the plus side, IT once again shows that they do listen to the collectors. There is a constant refrain to bring back Vanessa 1.0 and here she is. Get her while you can.
