Name this Corolle doll....

[Melaine]

Another one!

I found this little cutie at a consignment sale for $2.50. I couldn't resist her although she sadly didn't have a twin. Can you ID her? I thought she was a Poupette Fifi but her hair seems so much longer and I haven't seen any Fifi's with a green body. I'll be searching for a comparable match to her or passing her along I suppose. I haven't let the girls see her....but she is so cute!

PS Sorry, I cannot seem to get this to appear upright. It shows rotated on Photobucket....still sideways here. :shrug:

Poupette was my first guess but I've never seen them in person. Poupettes are sooooo cute! So is this little girl. How tall is she?

[Melaine]

She is the same size as Calin....12", right?

I didn't realize Poupettes seem to be out of production....boooooo
I don't even see any used on Ebay!

Hard to tell from the picture, but she reminds me of the Les Cheries dolls. Amazon has a bunch of them.... http://www.amazon.com/Les-Cheries-Pretty-Dress-Set/dp/B001U3ZH0Y/ref=pd_sim_t_3

[egoldber]

Hmm. she could be a Les Cheries:

[Melaine]

Her face does look more like Les Cheries....but her little pear shaped body is so chunky...does anyone know what Poupettes' bodies look like?

[elliput]

Is she a Vanilla Blonde (http://www.dollcloset.com/Corolle_Vanilla_Blonde_14_inch_Toddler_Doll.html)? They have a soft body, which IRRC the Les Cheries does not.

[egoldber]

The Vanilla toddler dolls are 14" and they don't have that green body. The green body is a little weird.

[elliput]

The green body is odd. The owner could have dyed the fabric though.

[bubbaray]

Can you post a close-up of her face and possibly a photo of her with Calin?

Les Cheries have an angry look. Vanilla Toddler does not. She looks more like a Vanilla Toddler to me. Also, Les Cheries are taller than Calin, they too are 14" (though they are skinnier than Vanilla Toddler).

ETA: scroll down here: http://www.liveandlearn.com/corolle/lescheries/ -- and yes, they do have solid bodies.

Her hair does look more like that, but I don't think that's her face.

Her tag says 2003 if that means anything to any of you doll detectives....

[Melaine]

Ok, after zooming in on her face, she has the Poupette Fifi face, no doubt. I'm just thinking maybe back in 2003 she had a green body maybe?

She also has beans in her booty.

[egoldber]

Definitely Fifi's face although doesn't her hair seem longer than Fifi's?

:rotflmao:

[Melaine]

It really does seem longer which is why I am so confused. I think I need to email Corolle about this one. I MUST know the identity of this doll.

Getting closer - Corolle Poupettes:

[Melaine]

Ooooooh where did you find that....it must be an older Poupette then if they have those styles as well!

[Melaine]

Ack! The curly headed one is so cute!

[o_mom]

Still working through the internet archive.... looks like there were two blond, caucasian poupettes - Fifi and Sissi. I think the pictured one (curly girl) is Sissi, Fifi was introduced later but I haven't found a picture yet....

[o_mom]

Now I'm finding this one as well named Sosso who looks close, but has a blue body:

[o_mom]

I give up... have to go make dinner. Good luck! I think it is one of the original Poupettes - most likely Fifi. It is hard to weed through stuff since there is a current version also named Fifi with shorter hair.

[o_mom]

OK, I lied... meatloaf is in the oven, so I found this:

Green body, but the eyes look brown to me - the picture is so small, though it is hard to tell.

That's gotta be it! You are brilliant!
Hmmm....so I guess I'm not going to find another one like that very easily huh?

[DrSally]

I'm no doll expert, but she is very cute! And you got a good deal. I love the asian poupette.
