Marie: 3061 City Park Cafe
Theresa: 3185 Summer Riding Camp
Theresa's white riding breeches and black boots appeared pretty much every time a mini-doll went horseback riding in 2012 and 2014. They were also used as part of regular winter wardrobe in the 2015 advent calendar.
Marie's pink skirt and sandals appeared in 3 sets in 2012, and have not been used in the subsequent years. I'm surprised it has not been used more.
Except the leg parts, these two are identical if you ignore all the color differences: Olivia's face, Emma's wig, the same generic blouse design.
Marie's pink sleeveless version is actually exclusive, but Theresa's long-sleeved shirt was first worn by Olivia's aunt Sophie earlier in 2012. It was also borrowed by Stephanie when she participated in the Heartlake Horse Show in 2014.
Marie's blonde wig has been used on a few other characters: Christina, Isabella and Liza. Theresa's red wig in this hairstyle is actually rare; it has not been used on any other mini-doll.
So, even though neither of them may appear to be made of special parts, both of them do have a piece in an exclusive color.
Hello! please can you tell me if Theresa and Marie have the original orange eyes that Olivia had?
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca! Yes, they do; compared to the later characters sharing Olivia's face design, these two characters have more orange eyes. :)
DeleteThat's great, thank you very much for your reply. I have recently purchased a Theresa with the darker eyes and had a feeling it wasn't quite right. I want to have all the correct variations in my collection but sadly I think a lot of second hand characters are just being made up from any clone parts of any year. Being a minidoll collector is hard work!
DeleteYes, being a mini-doll collector is hard work since old sets get quickly discontinued as more and more new ones come out! You may be right about your Theresa having a wrong, newer head. But since the Summer Riding Camp set was available for at least two years, it is also possible that there may be slight color variations depending on when the set was produced. But either way, I hope you enjoy having this exclusive character with the exclusive wig!
