Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!!
Last week I heard about Big Lots having Style Girl 18inch and 14inch dolls and so I went in to the store to check them out. I even bought an outfit to try out… On that day they asked me if I wanted to sign up for their ‘club card’ thing so they could send me special offers and I signed up because why not have offers of good deals, eh? So, low and behold, they emailed me a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $15 or more. Well, guess how much the 14inch glitter girls cost? That’s right, $15! So,
I bought a 14″ Style Girl Sunday since the coupon made her only $10. Her outfit was worth that, that unicorn! So cute!
Here she is!
And the back of her….
They have nearly identical feet both is size and shape…
The Style Girl has ‘New Adventures’ on her back.
So, all in all, she’s a pretty nifty little doll for a quarter of the cost of a Wellie Wisher. Obviously she can’t be perfect… Her hair is rooted and like my 18 Inch Style Girl Isla, her hair is a bit on the thin and ‘not too great’ hair quality. I mean, it’s workable but just not as thick and lovely as I like my Dolls Hair to be. So I am absolutely postive she is going to get new hair at some point in the future. I even already have a few wigs in her size on my watch list on eBay. I’m betting she’ll end up with a rainbow type wig because I don’t have any 14 inch dolls with ‘fun’ colored hair and now that I have several 18inch dolls with it, I need one, right!? She’ll look adorable in a rainblow wig I think!
My recent obsession with 14inch dolls was sort of started by the recent release of Glitter Girls by Battat. I’ve stopped into Target at least 10 times in the last few weeks just checking to see if they’d made it to the shelves yet and no luck at all. I’ve also been searching online at Target and in Google… Well, I guess algorithms can sometimes be a good thing because this past weekend Amazon had a pop up and they are selling the Glitter Girls on Amazon!! So… I ordered two and an outfit and they actually arrived yesterday but it was church night and I didn’t have much of a chance to look them over at all… So I’ll be back soon to tell you all about them and show you which ones I got.
Better run!

Really enjoyed your post. In the toy collector's world, there are always 'knock-offs' of the most popular items,which explains the similarities in their molds. Especially with all the factories being in China. And toy companies have a long history of sharing molds. Dolls from the fifties and sixties can be really hard to identify if they aren't marked and aren't in their original outfits. Take a look at Sun Rubber's markings for the \”Bannister babies\” designed by artist Constance Bannister sometime! Practically a whole back with patent numbers and 'pat. pending' added!
