@@daisyskyheart thank you! It’s really so much fun to dress them up for the holidays. I love seeing other doll lover’s holiday dresses dolls, too. 🎄💚❤️
They are both very sweet. The dresses are lovely. Funnily enough a Gwen Thompson came up on our auction sight here in NZ, she is in beautiful condition, the seller just displayed her. She has her meet outfit, what a pretty dress. Her starting bid is $300 NZ, out of my price range and not a doll I was interested in, but after seeing your Gwen, she is very lovely😊
Thank you! It’s nice to hear you like the dresses. These prices on Gwen are normally out of my comfort zone. I do have her Meet dress, which I’ll redress her in after the holidays. So glad you enjoyed the video.
Yay Congratulations! How exciting! Goodness she’s gorgeous! They both are! The outfits are beautiful too, and they look ready for the holidays!!😍😍😍 Oh and I like how you do photos at the end of your videos. 🥰
Nettie both dolls are gourgeous, I wanted to tell you the Pleasant Company dolls are a little chunkier in feet and body. That is why the shoes would not go on. The red shoes you put on look cute.
No I haven’t done a review on the #12 doll but do talk about her just a bit in this video: ua-cam.com/video/C8-PN-2akEE/v-deo.htmlsi=EdTndv9nFZZqf8Sw You made me smile! My hair does sort of look like Gwen’s 😊.
Hi Nettie. I’m so happy to see this video and see the comparison of Gwen with 12. I am not sure if Gwen was girl of the year. I believe she was a side character along with Sonali who were friends of GOTY Chrissa. I could be wrong. Also the purple coat and hat may belong to Samantha? I love her blonde hair and bangs with brown eyes. 🥰
Thank you! Also thank you for reminding me that Gwen is a friend of Sonali and not a GOTY. Now, thanks to you, I know that purple velvet coat is Samantha’s! 😊❤😊
JLY 12 had 2 versions of the doll. She came with the pie shaped bangs and later she got the revised bangs that look like Gwen. It is very hard to tell the difference between the Gwen doll and the revised JLY 12. I think the only way to tell for sure is the side tag. My Gwen has the numbers like your doll.
Your Gwen arrived in the Ski Trip outfit released in 2002. I believe the revised JLY 12 was discontinued soon after Gwen was released. Maybe there are fewer revised JLY 12 dolls than there are Gwen dolls? I remember the disappointment from collectors that Gwen looked so much like the revised JLY 12.
I consider Gwen an Girl of the Year best friend doll. Which is kinda like historical best friend characters. If that helps. Also, if the 12 was produced under Pleasant companies, she would have been called A Girl of Today doll, not just like you, which what Mattel renamed the line to in the early 2000s. The Pleasant company neck stamps were used until about 2008ish for most classic molds.
Oh my! The girls are really beautiful. I have to get mine all doll up for the holidays, too ❄️❄️❄️❄️🌼🌈💓💓😍😍😍

The blue coat and hat are Samantha's Holiday Coat. Available from 2004-2008.
Thank you! It’s a beautiful set.

@@esli44 thank you! I was exhilarated to find Gwen! 😍😍😍
So glad you enjoyed the video! I always welcome your comments.
I’ve been needing this, I completely forgot the jly was a pleasant company! And by the way, only sonali and Gwen have a 4 digit tag! Loved this video!
@@Julie_Albr1ght aww thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I found out only recently that Sonali and Gwen have a 4 digit tag.
Yah! Good for you! Both those dolls are super cute and loved the way you redressed them for the holidays. “Chonky” feet! LOL
Thank you! Those fat feet 😂

Thank you! Yes, PC dolls are chunkier. I’ll have to be on the look out for shoes that fit them. 😊
Have you done a review on the Just Like You Doll? If so I can't find it. Your hair looks like Glen's baby you.
No I haven’t done a review on the #12 doll but do talk about her just a bit in this video:

Ooh and I just looked it up on EBay. It’s her Holiday coat so good timing to find that. ☺️
Just in case...the pink outfit with hat is the "Ski Trip Outfit".

@@nettiezdolls6742 It adds to the confusion! I checked on the old message boards to confirm what I remembered about that.
@@sew4dollsthanks for naming the outfit. It’s really nice!

Yes! Thanks to you and @cherisheddollfriends, I now know Gwen is a GOTY friend. Thanks also letting me know that #12 is a GOT. ❤😊❤
