Mini-dolls with Mia's & Olivia's face design (2014)

I usually present two or more mini-dolls that share the same face print, but today I will be doing something a little different.

Initially, I was going to talk about one of the few additional characters who got Mia's face print: Naya.

But as some of you may know, there's something confusing about her; she was given more than one type of face print. Of course, she is not the only one who got either temporary or permanent makeovers, but in her case it seems rather unintentional (which means someone may have made a mistake).

2) (no name)850967 Jungle Accessory Set
3) NayaLEGO Friends Character Encyclopedia

As you see in the above photo, Naya from the Juice Bar (#1) and the unnamed girl from the Jungle Accessory Set (#2) have Mia's face print with freckles. On the other hand, Naya that accompanies DK's Character Encyclopedia book (#3) has Olivia's face print with no freckles.

When you look at Naya without freckles, you may think of another character.

That's right!

Danielle from Downtown Bakery from 2013 had the exact same face and wig combination!



You can say that Naya sometimes wears makeup that hides her freckles. Of course, that can explain her different looks.

But do I really think Naya from the Encyclopedia was designed with such intention?

No.

What I think happened is this: they just made a little mistake that many fans won't probably worry about. Only a minidollologist would be irritated by this inconsistency.

Other than what's been discussed, there's not much worth mentioning about the three mini-dolls featured today. They are wearing all items that have been worn by other characters at least once.

Recycling of clothing is encouraged in real life, but it is highly frowned upon in minidollology.
