I had a pretty decent eBay Bucks certificate to spend this month, and I happened to find the 11.5" Dawn doll with the Jackie doll! I've never even seen these two in person before, so I'm excited to have them coming my way! Now I just need Mallory (smaller version, as I already have Big Mal) and the super-crazy-impossible-to-find Mary Anne and I'll have a full club ;-)

Ha, Big Mal...sounds "sturdy" to me.  I wonder why Jackie and Dawn were paired together? Buddy Barrett would have made more sense. I guess it's easier to make a doll that's disctinctively Jackie, with all that red hair and those freckles. |

Big Mal is very sturdy, yes ;-)
You know what bugs me about these dolls though? Dawn looks a lot like Dawn (except that her outfit does not say California casual to me in the least), but Jackie looks absolutely nothing like Jackie. He doesn't even have red hair! In fact, I'd say the "Jackie" doll looks a lot more like a Buddy Barrett!

^ Maybe they confused Buddy with Jackie.

^I think I'm going to refer to the doll in my collection as Buddy, since it makes more sense to me :-)

pepperminttraymaker, can you post a pic of your dolls? I think that Afton has the 7 in babysitters but I'm not sure. I don't know if they are in the original clothes or not. that's great that you've been able to find most of them.

I will try to get a pic of all of them together once this package arrives :-)
Edit: They arrived today so I'll try to get a picture soon! I never realized how big the heads are on this series of dolls, since I only had the 1992 dolls up to this point! It's a little weird looking...Up close, Jackie looks slightly more Jackie-ish. He actually has freckles and the hair has a slight reddish tint to it, almost like he was made with black hair and the color was "corrected" later.

Confrats! I'm hoping to find the Mary Anne and Jenny doll set someday on eBay for a good price.
