Odd Victorian Doll

I found this doll at an odds and ends shop. I bought it because it was only $7 and I really liked the dress. I didn't have high expectations for this doll.

I don't know what kind of doll it is. I'm sure it's made in China. It's hair is glued to its head. 

I think it's porcelain. It looks like the eyelashes have been ripped out. 

There isn't anything about its origins stamped on it anywhere. 

This is the cute little bag that matches the dress and hat. 

I have to admit that I don't know anything about historical dolls or if this is one. Or exactly what era this doll represents. 

This is her hat. It's glued to her hair. 

Her pantaloons are too big. 

Then there's this thing. Yeah, I could Google it to find out what it's called but I don't feel like it. 

This is her stand. The base is made out of wood. 

Here's the hideous monstrosity without her clothes on. Note the cotton ball boobies. They're glued to her chest. It's enough to give someone nightmares. And those arms. Good Lord!

This is BFC, Ink. Yuko wearing the dress. Much better. She's so pretty. The doll stand is perfect for her, too. 

The hat looks nice on her. I had to cut it out of the other dolls hair. 

I will keep this ugly, Victorian doll for now. But I really just like the dress and hat. I almost threw the doll away today because those cotton balls glued to her chest were freaking me out. I didn't want to leave the dress on Yuko so I decided to keep the other doll for now.

BFC, Ink. Doll Yuko

Meet Yuko Sato by MGA Entertainment, Inc. I found her on eBay. Shes 17 inches tall. These dolls have been discontinued by the company. I don't know why. I love these dolls. I want more but right now they're being sold for outrageously inflated prices on eBay that I refuse to pay. This one was the only one that was reasonably priced. 

I took her to the beach today. She's the most beautiful doll that I own. 

She's well articulated like the Liv dolls. Those have been discontinued as well. The Moxie Teens dolls were beautiful well articulated dolls that have also been discontinued. 

Why have all the best dolls been discontinued?

I love that she looks Asian. I've bought Asian dolls from other doll lines but the Asian dolls look just like the other dolls. 

 Her hair is thick and very nice. The quality isn't bad. She has plenty of hair. 

This is the outfit she comes with. A black jacket, blouse, blue leggings, a cheap pink purse and plastic fuchsia shoes. I hate plastic shoes. 

She also came with a hard cover book.

These are my biggest dolls. Here's Yuko with my Heart 4 Heart Lauryce, left and Our Generation Sadie, right. All of them come with cheap, plain outfits and plastic shoes. Sadie is built like a linebacker and Yuko has huge gorilla paws/man hands. So she can hold things better?

Lauryce has an adorable face and the best jewelry. Yuko is beautiful, has the best book and articulation. 

Our Generation dolls have the best accessories. 

I love the BFC, Ink. dolls. Someday I'd like to get the African-American one. Well articulated dolls are my favorite dolls.These dolls aren't as well articulated as Liv dolls. 

Here are more photos of Yuko and Lauryce at the beach. We had a lot of fun.
