Got my first 7 Hairdorables Series 4! These are the unwrapped cases, because they got here about 20 minutes before I had to get ready for work, so I skipped taking the pics and went right into opening.
These are currently on Amazon for $12.99 each. They're also beginning to be found in Walmarts.
There are two different styles of case. These are hard plastic cases that are meant to be reusable. I'm going to use them to store all my accessories.
On the left is an unopened doll, so you can see the layout. The doll is in a removable plastic tray and you can still see the hair sticking out the back, unless the doll has an updo.
On the right is an emptied out case. There are different backgrounds for the three different themes: Carnival Cuties, Garden Party and Splash Sensation.
These dolls are scented and their cases retain the scents of the ones who have strong scents. Some do, some don't.
The first one I opened was Bunny Kat from the Carnival set. The Carnival dolls have pink stands.
Kat smells like chocolate. She's got the second-strongest scent of the ones I have.
Each doll comes with two small stickers and one dress sticker that's meant to be placed on Noah on the front of the packaging. Each doll has a brush in the shape of her name, which I think is SO cute. I love them. Then there's the bottle, the shape of which is determined by the theme. (Each theme has its own shape.)
Kat's accessories are a chocolate bunny and a bunny purse.
She's super cute. I love the darker lips.
Her shoes are adorable, too.
And I managed to open THREE of her. In case anyone wants to trade. Sigh.
Next up, also from the Carnival line, is Horsin' Around Brit. I actually really love this Brit. She's one of my fave dolls for the character. Definitely my favorite of the all pink hair Brits. I love her curls so much. And her equestrian outfit is darling.
The gold trophy is a nice touch, too.
Freckles! Adorable!
Brit does have a scent, but it's pretty faint. Thankfully, the Carnival dolls have their scent on their bottles, so I can tell from the bottle that she's cotton candy. She just smells vaguely sweet to me.
Then we've got Flower Power Rayne from the Garden Party line. Garden Party stands are green to the shock of literally no one. A lot of the Garden dolls have the scalloped eyeshadow the Dance line from Series 3 did, but not all of them. Rayne does though and it looks great on her.
She comes with a giant purse, which is quite cute.
I love her headband!
She's actually really pretty. I was not into this one from the first pics of her, because her hair reminded me a lot of Shimmer Rayne, but the makeup works well for her and I like the almost smug look on her face. She knows she's won me over. She knows I won't trade her after all.
Here's the outfit without the long jacket piece.
Pretty basic, but still cute.
Rayne has a very, very slight floral scent. So slight that sometimes I don't smell it at all.
From the Splash Sensation line, this is Sandy Sallee. Splash stands are this lovely darker blue.
I adore Sallee, so I was thrilled to open her. I actually did her last, but I'm saving my sixth open to show last.
All the Sallees in Series 4 have these multicolored pompom balls or whatever they are. I'm not even wholly sure, but they remind me of those fuzzy fabric pompoms.
I think the headband is a bit much for a day at the pool and it takes away from the cuteness of her hair, so we're ditching it.
The purse is lovely.
Her cover-up comes off to reveal her swimsuit.
I'm not sure why she has transparent boots at the pool, but they're so cute that I'm going with it.
Sallee smells faintly of something beachy. Not super coconutty, but like some suntan lotion or something.
Totally forgot her brush in the first pic, so here it is!
And finally, the doll I opened sixth: SAIGE. Eeeeeee! I love her hair so much.
She's technically called Garden Saige, but has the blue stand of the Splash line. I've seen photos of Emily with it, too, so I imagine all 3 newbies have the blue stand.
I love widow's peaks and green hair, so you can imagine how much I love her. Love her skintone and her outfit colors, too.
Her hair is MASSIVE. It's so cool.
There's only one thing I don't like: her scent. When I peeled back the plastic over her, I was hit with the smell of...BEER. Yep. Beer. It actually took me quite a while to figure out what it's supposed to be. You see, Willow from the garden line has the same smell. I don't have her, but someone else does and we discussed this. Willow has a bee theme. So she's honey. And so is Saige. If I smell her forehead and not her hair, I get the tiniest whiff of where I think they were going, but somehow this completely derailed and she really does smell like beer. Why they made the gardener character smell like honey and not like...oh, I dunno...FLOWERS I'll never understand.
She is stunningly gorgeous though. I adore her. She just had a few too many at the Garden Party, I guess!
