SHANIIIIIIIII. My excitement for her has grown steadily since watching the Shadow High ep a couple more times. She was initially backordered to May but ended up shipping early. She arrived quite early this morning because FedEx is awesome like that. (Nicole and Luna came UPS later in the afternoon.)
Quick shot I took before taking the accessories pic.
Shani is definitely not easy to photograph in front of my "I always meant to change it" black scarf drapery.
Shani comes with a dark stand and comb.
Her main outfit is a ruffled dress in black, white and grays. I didn't like this piece from earlier pics but I do like it in person. There's a belt that's worn over the dress and little black lace socks that go under strappy heels with a faux fur strap over the toes. She has a cute little gemstone bracelet (on the stand) and gorgeous earrings. And of course the big bow.
The second outfit is STUNNING. It's a studded black leather tank loaded with detail and a cute houndstooth mini with leather accents. A cropped ruffly leather jacket goes over it and the matching shoes feature large gemstones.
These are Luna and Shani's stands. Same color.
Body color comparison.
Main dress, no belt, fur heels with no socks.

Closer on her. She is SO beautiful!
Second outfit. GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH LOVE IT.
This is my fave photo from this review. I adore how she's glowing.
Jacket and jewels back on.
This is simply amazing. So gorgeous. I don't have enough adjectives.
She has deep purple lips and it's such a lovely touch.
Her hair is silky and had zero gel.
The socks are cute but don't look right with the gem shoes. They look cute with the fur shoes though. I was concerned about ripping them putting the shoes on and taking them off, but the shoes were pretty flexible.
Shani's final look.
This doll is spectacular. Simply spectacular. Heather is still my favorite thanks to her personality and look, but Shani I think is the strongest doll of the line. If I had to recommend only one, it would be her. She joined Heather in the place of honor on the end table in the living room where a lot of my favorites are, so I can sit by them every day.
Oh, and you might be wondering where Luna is.
"Shut up, Shani!"
"Heeheehee!"
Luna needs a looooooooot of salon time. She only had a little bit of gel at the ends of her long bangs but the short bangs were all kinds of sticking up. That's one place where we could still use some gel, MGAE. It's easy enough to wash out and then the bangs stay flat. Without having to resort to this! Needless to say, we won't be seeing Luna's review for a few days.
