Serena Hair and Hazel Eyes PVC Girl Doll, 18" (Amazon Exclusive)

Purchased this doll for my granddaughter for Christmas. She loves baby dolls and has MANY of them. I thought we'd try something different by giving her a doll that strongly resembles her. She needed help opening the box and when we got the bottom open and started pulling the doll out feet first, her eyes got huge and she shoved it back up in the box and said: "That thing is not coming in my room!"To make a long story short, it wasn't long before she was carrying her "little sister," around everywhere she went. Now she loves it. It was a risky purchase because she's the only female in her family that is not creeped out by dolls and, for a little while, I thought she was following the family tradition. The doll is beautiful and very well made.

The doll is amazing! So pretty! Good quality. The hair is nice and wavy but still manageable enough to braid and play with. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars and not 5 is due to the packaging. I bought this as a gift and would have liked to wrap the box with doll inside to give her. Instead because amazon did not put any kind of padding around the box and through it inside a significantly larger box it was soooo damaged. I would be embarrassed to give to someone. I took the doll out and put inside bag for gifting. Picture of messed up box for proof.

Normally how the box appears does not bother me. However this is an angel tree gift and it is presented as is. The box is beat up and looks terrible. I am not able to open the box to examine the doll but I am a little concerned. I do not have time to return as it is going today to the child.

I had looked at a lot of dolls for my three year old that wanted an american girl doll like her big sister. Her requirements? She wanted a doll she could braid their hair. This doll delivered. It has long flowing hair ths is easy to play hair with for hours. The only thing to consider is the eyes do not close which does not bother my 3 year old in the least. I was glad that I found an 18 inch doll with high quality hair and features that will withstand three year old play.

very pretty face and hair. 8 y.o. granddaughter very happy.

My granddaughter loves her doll, which is of course the most important feature. And we adults all agree the doll is nice, well made. (The quality of the hair is very nice.)

I was looking for a high quality doll that had the same features as my granddaughter and this one is a winner. Very well made and close attention to detail.

Really pretty nice quality doll. My only issue was that it arrived a little dirty (face and boots) and no where on the package or doll, does it state the dolls name (I bought it because my daughter gets a kick out of seeing her name in print). But it is a very nice doll and I would definitely recommend to any doll enthusiast.
