Mini-doll heads 2: males (2012-2015)

Since I talked about the female face print designs recently, I will continue with this topic today by looking at some of the male face designs.

Interestingly, there are two very distinct head molds for male mini-dolls, while there is only one for females.

As I showed you in the post about the Peter mini-doll, we have the head mold with a strong jawline and a triangular nose, as well as the other mold with features shared with the female head mold.

The face designs I have gathered below are the former type; those printed on heads that are shaped like Peter's. Each one has the part name starting with 'Head, Male1, Dec.' followed by its individual number.

This head mold appeared with the launch of the Friends theme.


Above: Dec. 1 (Peter)

A couple more male mini-dolls appeared in 2013, but they had the other male head mold.

So, it was not until 2014 that more mini-dolls came out with this adult male head mold.

Those with the above three new face prints were introduced with the launch of the Disney Princess theme. Each of the three is uniquely designed and shows a distinct expression.

Those "prince" mini-dolls are interesting in that they have the adult male head but the younger male's smaller torso.

I don't know what happened to Dec. 5, as that number is missing from the available head design collection.

In 2015, another father character was introduced to Heartlake City who shares the head mold with Peter.

That was also the year the Elves theme was launched, and with it came two male mini-dolls with the same head mold.


Left: Dec. 6 (Luis)     Center: Dec. 7 (Farran)     Right: Dec. 8 (Johnny Baker)


Luis has the same larger torso as Peter. But Farran and Johnny Baker have the younger male torso.

What you have seen above are the male mini-doll face designs on the Peter-type head, and they were introduced between 2012 and 2015.

I'm going to update this post as more designs get added to the collection from 2016.
