Going from left to right  Doll house baby with beanbag body  Mattel doll she has been re-painted   Generic baby doll I think it might be from the Steffi line?  Mattel doll also re-painted Going from left to right Mattel Shelly/Kelly/Chelsea or whatever they are calling her this week? Nari Pon from Japan and no longer made but I love the articulation and she is wigged.  Mattel Shelly/Kelly/Chelsea on a Obitsu 11cm body. They come with two skin-tones...
