Froggy said the two she reviewed were only part of the line, so I did a little research. The Team Stacie's boy has an identical noggin to the Babysitters Inc boy. The same mold, the same paint, everything. And maybe it's just me, but that face seems kinda mature for Stacie's age.
(The boy in the dancing skeletons shirt is the one in question.)
Head and face molds get reused all the time, it's no secret, but the face paint and skin tones can create many different looks. Even the second run of Babysitters Inc isn't identical to the first, and I assume they're meant to be the same people! I can live with lesser quality for a lower price point, I really can, but not even giving Team Stacie Boy his own noggin?
Todd had the Stacie face mold. His face paint was male-coded - shorter lashes and more neutral lip color. A lot of people make their own boys by repainting the faces and cutting the hair on girl dolls. It's actually pretty simple on a child. Often even the same body mold works.
It is possible that the picture I saw was a prototype. He may end up with is own noggin. I hope he does. That one just hurts my brain.
Update: Ms Leo over at I-Luv-Dolls posted better pictures of him and I totally stole one of them. He doesn't have the same noggin after all! In fact, he kind of looks like they took Babysitter Inc Boy's head and put the face of the Club Chelsea boy I named Bobby on it.
