When I finally arrived home last night I discovered a little package left in my letter box. I was super excited to open it once I read who it was from. A great friend of mine told me she found some old Strawberry Shortcake dolls and was going to send them to me! I've been so excited every since. So I quickly ripped open the box and found this lovely girls! There were four in total, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon Meringue, Lime Chiffon, and Raspberry Tart. Of all of them poor Strawberry Shortcake needs the most attention, but the rest of them look wonderful! I was able to piece together their outfits and they are mostly complete. After doing some research I found out they re-released in 1991 by Toy Headquarters, which is why they look different from the one I found at the thrift store. The main difference is the eyes. All in all the clothing seems to be mostly the same, but these dolls came with two different outfits. Each of my dolls has the one outfit, but I am not about to complain. Considering they are over 20 years old they look awesome! But whoever designed this dolls made their feet too big for their tights. I had to wrestle the dolls back into them, which took much longer than I'd like to admit. These girls still need a bit more grooming, but I am so happy to have them! Blueberry Muffin might also be arriving soon, and I can't wait for her as well! I've also tracked down some of my older Lime Chiffon's accessories, so soon she'll be complete. I'm growing fond of these dolls. Below I've also included a comparison of 1981 Lime Chiffon vs. 1991 Lime Chiffon. You can see the clothes are almost the same, the changes are mostly in the face.
