Moxie Teenz Tristan

As I've said before, Moxie Teenz were the best and a much better buy than those pitiful Bratz knockoffs, Moxie Girls. Those things are cheap looking and hideous.

Moxie Teenz were made by MGA Entertainment, whom I'd guess are on the verge of bankruptcy or piss poor management after discontinuing MTZ. 

I wanted these dolls because I can't afford Tonner or Wilde Imagination dolls and these are the next best thing, IMHO. Much more affordable. 

I don't know anything about each individual doll except their names. I really don't care if one is supposed to be a fashion designer (aren't they all) or photographer or whatever. 

This is Tristan. She is 14 inches tall. 


Sorry the photos aren't very good. I was in a hurry and I broke my very expensive camera so now I have to use my iPhone. 

I got her from eBay, the only place I can find them. And there even becoming scarce there. I wanted Bijou but couldn't find a reasonably priced one in good condition. The price I ended up paying for this doll was completely outrageous. 

I really hate eBay. Everything's always too expensive but sometimes I have no choice. And I got burned by a buyer once. They kept the item, said they'd never received it so I had to refund their money. As far as I'm concerned everybody on eBay is shady. 

But I really wanted another MT and this doll is beautiful. The box she came in was pretty banged up. I forgot to take a photo of the box. 

MTZ don't come with stands. She can stand on her own for a little while but she'll eventually fall over. 


She photographs beautifully and her eyes are stunning. They're acrylic. Notice she has eyelashes, a very nice touch. 

MTZ outfits are very trendy. I wouldn't call them stylish because they look a bit gaudy to me. They only thing I like is the purse. Much better than ugly, stupid, virtually useless plastic purses most dolls come with that don't open and very realistic. 


Totally not crazy about this skirt. The tights are attached to the skirt. I don't like that either because they can't be worn with other outfits. 


Here's the outfit from the back. 


Closer look at the wig which was looking kind of rough but I still like it anyway. I love the wigs. I own almost all of them. Good quality and they were on clearance at ToysrUs. I was so glad I found them. I never came across any of their accessories or clothes. I got into these dolls after they'd already been discontinued.  

She's wearing a t-shirt, denim vest and a scarf. 


Nice long wig. I'll probably cut it a little bit. 


The boots aren't bad. The legwarmers are a bit blah. 

Earrings aren't anything to go into detail about. 


A ring that I'll most likely lose. Very nice, trendy bracelets. 





In these photos you can see the stains (dirt?) above her left eyebrow. Don't know what these are from. 


She can't touch her face with her hands but the articulation is very good. That's another reason I like these dolls. 


I used acetone fingernail polish remover to her rid of the stains on her face. Those stains were stubborn. I couldn't remove them completely. 

I also took off the dangling part of her earrings. They were kind of ugly. 


Arizona and Tristan. Gorgeous! Tristan is wearing a hand made sweater made out of a sock. I learned how to do it from watching a myfroggystuff YouTube tutorial. 


In this photo Tristan is wearing a hoody and a pair of jeans I made and a Liv doll wig. I'm trying to learn to sew. I watch YouTube and look at sewing tutorials on deviantart.com. I hand sewed and stitched it with a machine. 

She looks beautiful with this wig. The wig also covers the stains. 

This doll is stunningly beautiful. All the Moxie Teenz are. Tristan's eyes are what really sets her apart from the other MTZ. Her eyes are lavender or light purple. 

MTZ are my second favorite dolls so I'm glad I got another one. Maybe someday I'll add Bijou to my collection.

Jackie Evancho Doll


I found this doll on clearance for $5 at ToysRUs. I thought it was worth it for the outfit and shoes alone. I have dolls of different sizes. I knew this outfit would fit one of them. 

She sings "When You Wish Upon A Star" when a button on her stomach is pressed.  

Jackie Evancho is a very beautiful girl. I know because her picture is on the back of the box. She looks nothing like this butt ugly doll. Jackie is a young singer with a beautiful voice. I saw her on Oprah. I forgot to take a picture of the box before I threw it away. 


Who is this hideous monstrosity? It isn't Jackie Evancho. This looks nothing like her. The hair on this doll is thinly rooted. I'm not complaining though because I have plans for this doll. 



The doll has a very mature figure but the dress looks like a little girl's dress. 


Here she is next to a Liv doll and a Moxie Teenz doll. She's almost exactly the same as the Moxie Teenz. They're also the same height, 15 inches. The doll's body has great articulation. Neck, torso, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles are articulated. Articulated dolls are my favorite dolls so this one was a great find at a great price.









Woo hoo! Look what I can do. 


Here is Arizona wearing Jackie's clothes. They fit perfectly but the shoes are big on Arizona. They easily fall off.


She's so pretty. 


I ripped Jackie's head off and replaced it with a Liv doll head. What an improvement.


Here she is wearing a Liv doll wig and Arizona's clothes. 


Wearing each other's clothes. What a difference a new head and a new wig makes.

Moxie Teenz Arizona

Moxie Teenz by MGA Entertainment are some of the most beautiful dolls I've ever seen. Unfortunately, they've been discontinued. So many of the wigged, articulated dolls have been discontinued. I don't know why. I wish someone could explain to me why there's such high turnover for these fashion dolls. 

Liv fashion dolls by Spin Master (also discontinued) are my favorite and have the absolute best articulation. But Moxie Teenz had better clothes and accessories and beautiful faces. 


This is Arizona. She has blue, acrylic, inset eyes and gorgeous brown skin. This is the outfit and wig that she came with. She originally had ugly, tacky gold plastic jewelry that I got rid of. And I immediately lost the ring that was on her right hand. I knew that wouldn't last long. I cut off the off white, lace tights that were attached to the skirt because the were ugly and reminded me of the Eighties. I DO NOT want to be reminded of the Eighties. 

I got her for a very reasonable price on eBay. Sellers on eBay usually sell discontinued dolls for insane amounts of money. I can't believe that anyone would buy from those sellers who are obviously trying to rip people off. If I ever find another Moxie Teenz for a decent price, I'll definitely buy it. 


Here she is without her wig. Her face and eyes are beautiful. She has long beautiful lashes. I think she's supposed to be biracial or Hispanic. 


Here she is with a different MT wig and her accessories. She's sitting on a love seat that made out of a box, a gift bag, paper and duct tape. 


Here she is standing next to Liv doll, Alexis. Alexis is done up like she could be a character from the movie, Blade Runner. The Liv doll is 11 1/2 inches. Arizona is 14 inches. 


In this photo she's wearing a Liv Daniella wig. She looks good in different wigs. 


A Moxie Teenz wig I got from ToysRUs for $3. Right now idiots are trying to sell these same wigs for exorbitant amounts of money on eBay. They should be ashamed of themselves. 


Another MT $3 wig and a dress and a hat that I made for her. I learned how to make the dress from a My Froggy Stuff tutorial on YouTube. The hat tutorial is by Chad Alan on YouTube. 

The only highly articulated dolls I see at ToysRUs and Target , right now, are Monster High and Barbie Fadhionistas by Mattel and Bratziilaz by MGA Entertainment. All the good dolls have been discontinued. Moxie Girlz suck. They're a cheap version of Bratz. They're isn't anything special about them. Bratz Catz are articulated as well but I don't see them in stores any more, either. 

I'm bored with Monster High and I CAN'T STAND Barbies. I might just stop collecting dolls until companies start putting out more dolls like Moxie Teenz, Liv and BFC, Ink. 

Right now, I'll just focus on the dolls that I have.
