Update on portrait order match!

Post by Debbie@TNGUN »

Here's an update....we selected a sculpt!
I was searching doll shops across the US today when I found an Ashton Drake doll called "Beach Baby" by Sherry Miller. I'll have to attach a photo in a new comment as it won't let me attach it to this original post. Go take a peek! EEEK! LOL I am excited. She's not as big in length as we hoped but she's chubby and cute.


Oh ladies, I am so stuck! Except for the Tyler doll by Ashton Drake (which I cannot seem to find anywhere on the face of the earth) I am having a terrible time finding a really good match for this chubby 3 month old (she's the size of a 6 month old but the doll does not have to be large like that~just CHUBBY!)

We have looked at Rupbert's: Eliza, Holly, and Crystal (all are close but I think she told me she has a Crystal of her daughter already); Arcello's Greta and Maizie and even Connolly; Ping Lau: Tori and an Ashton Drake doll called Aubrey's Crawling.

This is her mamma's favorite picture of her:

But she would be happy with any of these:

Any suggestions for very chubby kits (or dolls) would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance :heart:

She looks like "Tommy" by Sandy Faber??
Not sure how chubby the kit limbs are?
Grace Kewy limbs are very chubby, but a sleeping face alas.

That second from the last picture made me think of Kenzie, BB's newest crawler.

Ahh yes, I forgot that I had looked at Tommy. I like him a lot for her but she's not as impressed.
I will keep the Kewy limbs in mind, thank you!!

Her mouth is just too far open and wide. So sad because I love Nala!

Thanks Joyce! I didn't note that she does need to be awake. I've found some other sculpts that were close but they were asleep too! Drats!

What about Andrea Arcello's Greta?

She's chubby with that cute, slight smile.

Thank you! She was in the running but today I found an Ashton Drake doll that we are pleased with. I will update with a picture :)

Here is Beach Baby:

Isn't she adorable? We think she is the best match for what we can get since we can't get a Tyler doll or a Maizie kit.
