My Moxie Teenz dolls

I initially started out as a collector of vintage Pamela Love dolls, but while searching for dolls and joining doll collector communities, I stumbled upon so many other stunning dolls. For a long time I didn't even think about buying one, but at some point I fell in love with Tonner's Ellowyne Wilde and my intentions of buying a doll other than a Pamela were getting more and more serious. Unfortunately though, I really can't afford Ellowyne right now. Yesterday I remembered seeing Moxie Teenz dolls, which reminded me of Ellowyne. I'd seen them online and in stores, but decided that I was a Pam doll collector, not a doll collector in general.

 

But.. when I was chatting to Mark here last night, I suddenly got inspired to buy myself a Moxie Teenz doll anyway. I chose Tristen. And I'm mighty happy I did, because it was love at first sight when I unboxed her. Can't wait to customize her though. I don't like her hair (a new wig is on its way) and I wanna try making her new clothes.

 

For now, this is what my Tristen looks like. I'll give her a new name once she has her new wig.

Oh, did I tell you that a second Tristen is on her way as we speak? :)

 

The day I bought my Tristen, I found an ad placed online by a Dutch dolly friend of mine. She'd had her Tristen on display for a while, but was now selling her again lol. I had just deboxed my doll and, to be honest, that was a big part of the fun, since I mainly collect vintage dolls it's nice to unpack something brand new every once in a while right!, so I didn't regret buying a brand new doll, but the second hand doll was still very tempting.. so when I finished - for now - customizing my first Tristen, I contacted her to buy hers too.. lol.

 

She just e-mailed me that the doll was shipped today so she should arrive tomorrow. She included a chair Tristen can sit on ( :D !!!) and some random doll accessories in the package! Yay, it feels like my birthday!! So exciting ^^

 

I'll be out in the afternoon though, so unless the package comes really early I may not have it till Friday :(

No, but I might deserve one after this haha! The Dolly Doctor's Degree! ;)
I can start my experiment this Friday, hopefully, and then it will take at least a few days before I can say if it worked...

Hope nobody's got a clue yet what I'm gonna try and do haha. I don't wanna raise expectations, I'm so scared. I'm glad it's a second hand Tristen, could never do this to a brand new doll. And it may not even be worth it. Ooooh so scary. I'm gonna stop now, can't start yet anyway ^^

I'll keep you posted!!

They are definitely still in stores. There are 8 girls. That is, twice the same 4 girls, a first edition and a second edition :)

There's Tristen, Bijou, Arizona and Melrose. On this group's main page you'll find pictures of the first edition dolls. If you find them with different outfits, they're second edition dolls ;). The dolls themselves also are slightly different. Or so I have heard, cause here I've only seen the first edition dolls in stores.

I found that they still have them at Toys r Us here...I remember seeing them at Walmart also. I almost made the mistake of buying the Moxie girl doll till I realized she is smaller and not articulated! :o I would love to have at least one to play around with and make shoes!!!

Noooo how can you almost accidentally buy a Moxie Girl! Haha they have absolutely nothing in common with the Teenz ;)

Well...you saved me after reading your posts! I went back to the store I saw them at today and took a closer look. So tomorrow if I have time I'm going in search of one. Also didn't realize they are larger! I think I'm leaning towards Bijou? Did I spell right? Do they have high heel feet? Also did you have to remove hair or are they able to exchange hair with wigs? What do you think about the Liv dolls? I love the Juku dolls and have a few of them...because of the foot movement high heels work...Barbie size is just about right for them. This collecting can get way outa hand! :o

The Moxie Teenz are 14". Their feet can stand flat on the ground, but they can also be 'bent' so that the dolls can wear high heels. Just the way you please! They have exchangable wigs. They slide off quite easily though, I put some velcro on my doll's head to hold on to it a bit :P. I have just bought my very first LIV doll on eBay a few days ago, hope she arrives soon, they aren't sold in toyshops here. Only seen them in 1 Dutch store online and they would be less expensive if I just got them second hand from the UK.. so that's what I did :). I'm very curious!
