I have dramatically slowed down on my purchasing of dolls, now that my current population has risen to an acceptably high level. However, as with all of my collections, there are sometimes exceptional pieces that I wish to add. I have been curious about Liv dolls for several years, but never bought one when they were in stores. Their eyes and interchangeable wigs appealed to me (as well as, of course, the many joints. I am as always a sucker for articulation). Finally, I have one in my hands, and I love her! As I have recently been re-watching the series
Dollhouse on Netflix, I couldn't resist a fairly blatant series reference. Therefore, say hello to my new doll, Echo!

I think she is beautiful, and feels very well-made. Not cheap and easily broken. I am annoyed that her right hand does not turn all the way around like her left one does. Her eyes have a lovely depth to them, though her expression is overall rather vacant (hence the name). Her hair is a tad unruly, but it is very soft and nice, and I do not want to damage it. She came wearing just a checked shirt, so I put one of my recent Sparkle Girls finds on her. It fits almost perfectly! I'm not keen on the light pink makeup. The only other thing is that next to my other 1/6 people, her head looks huge.
Overall, I am quite happy with her, and I don't feel that she will be the last Liv doll who joins my collection.
