Sailor Moon, 8 in., is based on a Japanese manga style series about a teenage school heroine. On her back and clothing tag, she is marked “CLAMP et al Trendmasters 2000 China.” This is a play doll made of very pliable vinyl. Under her hat two small pigtails are tied with red beads. Her tiny mouth is just a small cut under her nose. She wears a backpack.
Sometimes a 21 in. Mme. Alexander Cissy was copied in a 10.5 in. size called a Portrette or Cissette. On the left is a 10.5 in. 1968 Portrette named Godey. On the right is a 10.5 in. 2006 Cissette named Picking Bouquets. Both were also made in a larger version.
Like all Mme. Alexander dolls, it is easy to remove them from their boxes and examine the designer outfits. This is a 16 in. Ivana Trump, 2000, in black velvet and gold lace.
