I am writing this review for the new 2021 version of the wellie wisher doll, Ashylnn! She is entirely perfect with new limbs and a new body, which is made of the sturdy vinyl that her face is made of. Originally, they had hard plastic bodies that were prone to breakage and rattling but that is no longer the case! The ONLY issue I have with her is that the head is no longer posable! Originally, you could tilt their heads side-to-side for a cute, innocent yet mischievous look. I found that adorable and was one of the many reasons I purchased my first Wellie which was the 2016-2020 version. This doll no longer has that feature, so if you’re looking to photograph your doll with many poses and looks then this may not be the best. For the price, and considering she does not come with her book in the series (Ashylnn’s Un-Surprise Party, which is around 10 dollars?) I think she’s a bit expensive, I paid 68$ altogether if you include the tax. For no book I think 55-57$ would have been better. In the small pamphlet she comes with, her skin is lightened in the art, and seems a bit lighter in some of the photos. This is not accurate! Ashylnn is brown, and I’m disappointed to see her so clearly whitewashed in her photos. The Wellie-Wisher line is one of the most diverse, and I want it to stay that way. All in all, Ash is a very cute doll who is the perfect size to be a little sister for an 18 inch doll, see in photos. Or for a young child. If you don’t want to pay full-price for AG brand clothes I suggest the Glitter Girl’s line, the sweatshirt, leggings, and boots that Ashlynn is wearing in those pictures are all from there! They have a store here on DollsByDorcel! Be aware that some clothes are a bit short or ill-fitting since Wellie’s are a little bit wider than Glitter Girl’s!!
