Glitter Girls – 14-Inch Fashion Doll – Brown Hair & Hazel Eyes – Medium – Dark Skin Tone – Gold Ruffle Dress & Pink Glitter Shoes – 3+ Years– Nelly

Preface: These dolls are made for ages 3 and up. I purchased this doll for my 5 year old and 2 year old daughters. My 2 year old will only play with doll with my supervision as I teach her more about gentle play and motor skills.1. Value for money: Great value. We're Puerto Rican and I've been trying to find a doll that has our hair type. I found dolls online that were exactly what I was looking for in hair type, but they were more expensive. For a 5 year old and a 2 year old, I wasn't ready to make that investment without knowing how they would handle a curly haired doll. I found this one and thought she was so beautiful, I decided to give her a try. Inspired from another review of this same doll, I decided to finger curl her hair, which isn't needed since her hair was already soft and beautiful and gives it a cute fro style, but I wanted to make sure her curls didn't get severely tangled during play. It was worth the effort! The hair quality is so nice and her curls came out beautifully.2. Style: Decent style: the overall appearance of the doll is gorgeous. Her eyes are stunning in a light pinkish brown hue, and her face design is adorable. Her outfit choice is not really my style since I wouldn't dress my daughters in the style, but I do love the colors. The shoes match the accent colors on the tunic perfectly, and the gold glitter bow matches the gold glitter butterfly designs on the leggings. I would have preferred a cute yellow dress with maybe the skirt having a tulle design of the pinks and oranges accents of the tunic, and a matching cropped jacket or cardigan. Any outfit that has pink accents really bring out the dolls eyes.3. Sturdiness: Very sturdy with no rough play. These dolls are bendy dolls, so the arms, legs, and feet can bend at the joints like a rubber toy. The hair seems to be well rooted after the rigorous brushing I put her through (brushed wet hair from tips to roots). The arms and legs move with ease at their sockets and don't feel like they'll pop out easily. A child would have to play tug of war to really get the limbs out, so I feel good with the 2 year old playing "gently" with her.4. Overall: Glad I made this purchase. We will see if she stands the test of time with my girls, but I see myself buying more dolls from this line so that my daughters and I can have tea parties with our "besties". Very well made for the price.

I have purchased a few of these dolls for items to fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. They don't break the bank and are really cute and the clothing you can purchase for them is also priced well. I will be buying more this year to fill more boxes!

I wasn't sure if I would order her, I was debating it then she went on sale and I jumped y'all! She so cute!I'm delighted with her quality and everything about her. Her hair is colourful but just like the other GG dolls, it's so soft and easy to style. Her eyes are pretty and her lips are glossy not matte.For collectors - she arrived in perfect condition. The box was pristine and she was secure inside in her bag in the box.5 Stars

“Odessa” is very close to Jana – another Glitter Girls doll that comes with the dog (search Amazon for “Glitter Girls Jana & Cuddles). The skin tone and hair color & length are the same. Odessa’s eyes are a pretty shade of teal blue – they match her teal shirt, but they are definitely not green as described. Jana’s eyes are light blue. Odessa has more of a matte complexion and pale pink lips. Jana has a bit of a shine to her complexion, and more noticeably pink lips. (See pic for comparison, although note that Jana is currently dressed in a different outfit – “Let’s go for a run dog walking outfit.”)Otherwise, Odessa is a nice quality doll on par with other Glitter Girls dolls. Her hair is soft. Her expression is cute (and exactly like Jana’s). Her limbs are moveable, and she does stand on her own. Her outfit is especially cute with the velvet teal top, glittery pink tulle skirt, and pink leggings.Overall Odessa is a nice quality doll, but if I did it again, I would have chosen either Jana or Odessa, not both.

She's cute... but the arms and legs are a bit weird. The metal framework does make them fairly posable but they are more hollow than I would prefer so they are odd to me. Personal preference thing. Quality seems good enough. Clothing options are common enough. Just not my personal top fav. Neat size but just not something that was high enough on my COOOOL chart to both with more.

She's so cute! Her hair is silky, eyes look real (not like paint), her body, though plastic, is soft. My grandaughter loves her and takes her everywhere!

Edit: I've had to take on the task of styling her hair after our 2 year old decided to "make it pretty!" I used a spray bottle of water and kept the hair quite damp as I brushed her entire head out working from the bottom to the scalp. Then I took tiny sections of hair and finger curled them twisting them tightly. I probably could have gone with even smaller sections of hair, but it took enough patience to do this! I let it air dry completely. For now the girls want it left down but when it is pulled up, it is very similar to her original look, just with slightly more distinct curls. I hope this helps someone!I love this Glitter Girl by Battat. Our girls have previously been into Battats line of 18" Our Generation Dolls but are seeing the advantages of these. They are easier to play with. If your child still plays with dolls by themselves then 14" dolls are easier to move around and dress/undress. They are like the perfect cross between a 12" fashion doll and an 18" "girl doll".I love Nelly's hair. I'm a bit at a loss for how to style it, because I don't want to loose the super tight curl. But don't want it to turn to a frizzy knotty mess either.Her clothes are well made. i'm not a fan of her top, but her leggings with the gold butterflies are cute and will pair well with other outfits.She is very flexible and easy to pose.

The media could not be loaded. I got this doll for my 2-year-old granddaughter and she loves Nelly!! The doll is the perfect size, hair is soft, and wears the cutest outfit. The doll is made with great quality and will stand through all the roughness of a 2-year-old’s playtime.
