R&D Susie

DRESSED, REBODIED. Nikki/Christie with “Asha” face sculpt has straight light-streaked dark brown hair with a front-side braid – the Saran hair fiber is in perfect shape. This super-cute doll has been rebodied on a fairly close color-matched high-end “super model” clone/replacement body (face is a little darker) with proportions similar to Mizi or modern Fashion Royalty – specifically Meteor dolls. Taller than regular Barbie with slightly larger high-heel feet, this doll has a longer torso, larger bust, and larger “booty” but can wear the majority of clothing and shoes designed for standard belly-button Barbie dolls, although fit may be tight depending on specific design.

She will come with the outfit shown:

• OVERSHIRT JACKET – From a My Scene doll, the sturdy black chiffon-like texture material has subtle white pinstripes, satin-taffeta black lapels, and a satin-taffeta ruffle-trimmed hemline with longer shirt tails that can be tied in front. (Long sleeves are three-quarter length on taller dolls.)
• TEE SHIRT – The cropped white stretch short-sleeve tee-shirt gives a snug fit with back Velcro-type closure.
• SKIRT – Red plaid pleated flared mini skirt has a wrap front closure with black leatherette (vinyl) inset wide hip-waist panel and crossover straps that fasten in the front with silver metal slide buckles. (Buckle straps are pretty worn and a bit fragile. Recommend if possible to loosen buckle straps – not fully unbuckle them – to put on or take off skirt. When buckling/unbuckling, tilt entry or exit edge of buckle to ease strap through. May be helpful to grasp strap end gently with bent needle nose pliers to coax strap through buckle.)
• PANTYHOSE – These lightweight super-stretch black smooth-knit pantyhose have a middle inseam and can fit a variety of dolls.
• SHOES – Mimi Woo brand front-tongue lace-up red faux suede short boots with white faux fur cuffs and hard rubber-like black chunk high heel soles will fit a variety of dolls. (Recommend slightly loosening – not fully unlacing – the top-to-middle laces to put on or remove boots. A small screw driver or bent needle nose pliers or bent tweezers or a toothpick can be used to loosen the individual lacings.)
• BAG – R&D Susie brand loop-handle oversize round zipper travel bag is constructed of black vinyl with red stencil pictures – stylized Susie portrait on one side, and stylized fashion-figure silhouettes on the other side.
• CHOKER RIBBON – The black ribbon tied in a bow around the doll’s neck gives a coquettish personalized flair. (Ribbon in tied state was placed on doll during the rebodying process and is considered non-removable due to the high improbability of retying it once it is untied.)

This unique one-of-a-kind budget custom doll will make a great addition to any collection, and comes with bonus clothing items that can be switched out and used with other dolls.
