This Time it’s Wild Hearts Crew
So I assumed that I wouldn’t be able to get ahold of any of the WHC dolls because there isn’t a Walmart really anywhere near my apartment. However… I stumbled into one a few weeks ago and managed to snag my two favorites of the WHC (I passed up an Epic Moves Bo-Peep for them. Was it worth it? keep reading to find out.)
Here we have Kenna Roswell and Cori Cruize. Cori was my initial favorite, upon seeing the dolls online, but I think as of now, Kenna might have become my number 1 (screw that hat though).
They come with these adorable little zines to explain their characters, and honestly, usually I don’t care about things like this, but I really do like these. They’ve got lots of info about the girls, they feel like real teens, and they don’t simply push more consumerism.
Cori’s headphones are held on (besides the plastic tags) by her hair. My Cori looks like not all of her hair got pulled into the updo in the front, there’s a chuck just hanging out loose.
Here’s a picture of her hair freed of all constraints.
One side of her head is molded plastic to look braids. I’m always a fan of something on the side of your head, hairstyle-wise. I just wish all of her hair was curled all the way to the roots. I know it doesn’t make sense if her hair is pulled up, but I don’t want it pulled up like that.
The dolls can stand up on their own, which is suuuuper nice. Like, y’all have no idea how happy and excited I was about this.
Taking their shoes off, I was excited to see that their feet are only slight accursed by high heel syndrome. They would probably look good in flat shoes and high heels. I’ll take it.
the clothes are of decent quality, at least in my opinion. They’re actual separate pieces of fabric sewn together in a way that is reminiscent of real human clothes. Although the fabric feels a bit cheap.
Removing the dolls’ clothing shows molded on bras and panties, as well as the dolls’ inability to sit up straight.
They can almost touch their faces, though.
Cori had some sprue issues though. (Is it still considered sprue if it’s not intentional?)
Here’s another close-up of the dolls, showing how I dressed them after the review.
Kenna is wearing her mesh shirt backward and her suspenders are hanging down. I’d like to make a little flannel shirt for her instead and I think I’ve found just the pattern. And I removed the hat.
As for Cori, I feel like she’s wearing two outfits smashed together. The jumpsuit looks great on its own. I think then I’d like to make her a black teeshirt and some jeans (or shorts? maybe a skirt?) to go with the jacket
