So the above is a link to the 2020 Glitter Girls catalog. I'm going to dissect it page by page, because I'm weird like that. I am not going to crop a bunch of pictures from it for this post, because that's simply too much to do, so if you like the dolls, you'll just have to open the PDF and follow along.
The current state of the line is kind of a mess. I've talked about this before. The first two waves of dolls came out fine, but the third wave had 2 dolls with an extremely limited release and 4 that don't seem to exist and the fourth wave had 3 dolls come out on Amazon and 3 that don't seem to exist. What will happen with the fifth wave? Who knows?
Let's dig into this catalog.
PAGES 6-7:
Doll #1: Maren (Wave 5)
This pale blonde, blue-eyed chef is from the upcoming fifth wave. She looks a lot like other characters, like Chrissy from Wave 3 (Doll #6 on the same pages) and the unnamed blue-eyed, ponytailed blonde from Wave 4. She looks like she might have the pale skintone? She's cute, but not wowzers. The chef outfit is kinda neat, but also immediately brings to mind Chrissy, who's also got an apron and "works" in food service at the Sweet Shop.
Doll #2: Emilia (Wave 4, currently available on Amazon)
Doll #3: Floe (Wave 5)
Floe is pretty. Honestly, she looks like Wave 2's Lacy but with bangs, but there's something cute enough about her that I don't even care. I like the weird cowgirl outfit.
Doll #4: Sashka (Wave 3)
Sashka is one of the two incredibly hard to find Wave 3 dolls that got a very limited release.
Doll #5: Amy Lu (Wave 2)
Doll #6: Chrissy (Wave 3)
Chrissy is on the back of my Bobbi's box, so she's definitely part of Wave 3, but I've seen no proof that she actually exists, although she seems closer to existence than the other 3 dolls from Wave 3, who don't even have names.
PAGES 8-9:
Doll #1: Lacy (Wave 2)
Doll #2: Elula (Wave 1)
Doll #3: Fifer (Wave 1)
Doll #4: Charlie (Wave 4, currently available on Amazon)
Doll #5: Eline (Wave 2)
Doll #6: Bobbi (Wave 3)
Bobbi is like Sashka. Wave 3 and very, very, super limited release.
PAGES: 10-11:
Doll #1: Stivie (Wave 5)
One of the upcoming girls. Stivie...who in the world does these names? Some of them are fine, but why not just do Stevie, which is likely how this is pronounced? Weird. Stivie brings to mind both Eline and Charlie, our existing freckled redheads, even though Stivie looks like a brunette. She looks a little like Ariadne, one of the Wave 3 unproduced girls, although she has brown eyes. (I really want her to exist! Argh.) The fast food worker theme is actually pretty cute.
Doll #2: Candice (Wave 2)
Doll #3: Hallie (Wave 5)
Hallie looks almost exactly like Stivie, except she does seem to be a redhead. The eyes might be the same color or maybe a teeny bit different? They sure love these green eyes right now. I lean slightly more toward Stivie, since with her red hair, Hallie looks more like a green-eyed Eline than Stivie does. Cute outfit though.
Doll #4: Poppy (Wave 1)
Doll #5: Bluebell (Wave 1)
Doll #6: Odessa (Wave 4, currently available on Amazon)
Doll #7: Keltie (Wave 1)
PAGES 12-13:
Doll #1: Sarinia (Wave 1)
Doll #2: Kani (Wave 2)
Doll #3: Nelly (Wave 2)
Doll #4: Jana and Cuddles (Wave 5)
These seem to be doll plus dog sets. Jana is pretty cute and manages to look different than both Keltie and Odessa, although I wish she had a bob, because that would have helped differentiate her even more.
Doll #5: Tavi and Nougat (Wave 5)
I can't tell if she's more strawberry blonde or a full-on light red (yes, they're different to me). I like her though.
PAGES 14-15:
I like to try to ID which doll is modeling which outfit, so now that we're out of the doll pages, that's mostly what you're going to see.
L-R: Amy Lu with her hair up, Odessa, Eline, Bluebell, Lacy, Tippi.
PAGES 16-17:
I'll mark an outfit as "new" if it isn't currently out on Amazon.
Outfit #1: Elula
Outfit #2 (new): Eline
Outfit #3 (new): Eline
Outfit #4 (new): Chrissy
Outfit #5 (new): Ariadne
PAGES 18-19:
Outfit #1: Candice
Outfit #2: Fifer
Outfit #3: Eline
Outfit #4: Lacy
PAGES 20-21:
Outfit #1: Poppy
Outfit #2: Nelly
Outfit #3: Sarinia
Outfit #4: Kani
Outfit #5: Eline
PAGES 22-23:
Outfit #1: Ariadne
Outfit #2 (new): Charlie with different hair.
Outfit #3: Elaithea. This outfit is currently on Amazon and the Glitter Girls website and that is the name shown for the model. She is one of the Wave 3 mystery girls! So at least she finally has a name. It's a cool name, too. I wish she'd been made.
Outfit #4: Tippi. Same as with Elaithea, I only just learned that this (unproduced?) Wave 4 doll's name is Tippi.
Outfit #5: Sarinia
PAGES 24-25:
Outfit #1: Dayle. As with Elaithea and Tippi, here's another mystery solved! Dayle is one of the Wave 4 girls.
Outfit #2: Sashka
Outfit #3 (new): Stivie
Outfit #4: Keltie
Outfit #5: Elula
PAGES 26-27:
Outfit #1: Poppy
Outfit #2: Kani
Outfit #3: Amy Lu
Outfit #4: Elula
Outfit #5: Keltie
PAGES 28-29:
Outfit #1: Amy Lu
Outfit #2: Kani
Outfit #3: Bluebell
From here on out, I'm only going to note if there's a new or unproduced doll in the photos. I don't care enough about the playsets to keep track of what's new. I'm lazy. Sorry.
PAGE 32:
This stable set looks new and the doll pictured seems to be Dayle.
PAGE 37:
The Pop-Pup Shop is new. The dolls are Tippi and Bobbi.
PAGE 38:
The dogs are how I finally learned Ariadne's name! Gah, I wish she existed. Ariadne was my chosen name in Ancient Greek language class in undergrad.
PAGE 42:
The dark-skinned girl is a new mystery! She has lighter eyes than Keltie and she has freckles!
PAGE 51:
And here she is again.
PAGE 64:
There's another angle on Floe.
PAGES 66-67:
More Jana and Tavi.
PAGE 73:
Another shot of Stivie.
And that wraps it up!
Well, I'm glad I did this. I either hadn't noticed those mystery girls' names before or they changed, so now we have only a few mysteries left.
We know now that Wave 3 is Bobbi, Sashka, Chrissy, Ariadne and Elaithea. The dark-skinned girl remains unknown. The GG website calls her Keltie, but she's not Keltie. She actually has Candice's really dark blue eyes.
Wave 4 is Charlie, Odessa and Emilia plus Tippi and Dayle. The tan girl with hazel eyes and black or very, very dark brown hair remains our mystery here.
And we have a new mystery with the freckled dark-skinned girl.
Ah, Glitter Girls. Please stop showing cute stuff you don't actually make!
