In 2014, Olivia was found in 7 different sets.
1) 41026 Sunshine Harvest
2) 5004130 Olivia Watch with Mini-doll (LEGO Gear)
3) 30115 Jungle Boat (promo/polybag)
4) 41030 Olivia's Ice Cream Bike
5) 21208 Resort Designer (LEGO Fusion)
6) 41034 Summer Caravan
7) 41033 Jungle Falls Rescue
Some people may not feel necessary to include #2 and #5 because strictly speaking, they are not part of the Friends line. Besides, they are just duplicates of the existing mini-dolls (#1 and #4).
But I will include them here anyway, as they were offered in 2014 and I would hate to exclude something just because it came with a watch instead of a regular set.
There had been only 2 Olivia mini-dolls during the previous year, so the fact that we got 7 Olivias in 2014 should have made me quite happy.
But it didn't.
Despite there being so many of her, only one of them got a brand new shirt (designed specifically for the jungle rescue mission). The rest of them wear an old shirt from 2013, two of which were originally designed for other characters.
And by now, many of us are aware of how overused those three shirts have become!
Of course, the two pairs of legs wearing skirts in Sand Blue and Sand Green were new in 2014. They are subdued-colored and versatile items. So we have seen them used quite frequently as well.
By the way, you may recognize the outfit Olivia #3 is wearing. It first appeared in 41010 Olivia's Beach Buggy in 2013.
But that's not all!
The exact same outfit is also seen on the mannequin at the sports shop in 41058 Heartlake Shopping Mall!
Now you see why I was not so happy with this collection. We simply got more of what we already had.
Andrea, Emma, Mia and Stephanie did a little better than Olivia. They all got an additional new top besides their own special shirt for the jungle rescue adventure.
