I never seen the Orient Express Gibson doll. I agree her ensemble pales in comparison to the other ensembles. I just started my collection in 1995 with the vinyl Jackie doll. I buy lots of ensembles for my seven different vinyl dolls. <br /><br /><br />Cathy G,https://www.blogger.com/profile/15642103293721916836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061516124101562117.post-65769534061013247392017-09-10T17:16:16.692-04:002017-09-10T17:16:16.692-04:00Thanks for the detailed review.

Seems like they all have the same face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061516124101562117.post-53742866277640138462015-11-12T21:17:14.634-05:002015-11-12T21:17:14.634-05:00Unfortunately, I don't really like the Deja Vu...Unfortunately, I don't really like the Deja Vu sculpt! The open mouth just doesn't do it for me. But thank you for the information, because I might buy a pattern made for Deja Vu dolls and see if it fits my Josephine. there hasn't been much talk about those FM dolls for a long time, which is hardly surprising. Stop by again!Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9061516124101562117.post-35953948138357059832015-10-23T15:19:10.313-04:002015-10-23T15:19:10.313-04:00I just stumbled upon your blog and noticed this on...I just stumbled upon your blog and noticed this one in particular about the Franklin Mint Josephine vinyl doll line... I have two outfits from the line (I, too, love period clothing) and I use them on my Tonner dolls. The Tonner Deja Vu body fits into the Josephine and Titanic outfits like a glove! If you get one of the bald Deja Vu dolls you can find period wigs to go with the outfits. I've only ever bought a couple Franklin Mint vinyl dolls and quickly resold them for the very reasons you point out... they aren't play friendly! And, their hair, while it is often styled very well is hard and of poor quality... buying wigs has elevated my doll play to a new level... <br /><br />I know this blog is several years old and you may have made this discovery as well... what can I say... an opportunity to talk dolls always wins!
