Dollar Tree Doll Face Off-What Has Changed In 10 Years to the Quality of Dollar Tree Dolls??

     Hello doll lovers!! Today is a bit of a different blog I found an older dollar tree doll at the goodwill recently and it made me think how much the quality in dolls has changed, so I decided to get a doll from there and compare the two. To start off I want to say that I do not know for sure that this doll is from 2010 but in my research I did find a post with a similar dollar tree doll that was from 2011 so that is close enough for me. 

     Lets's start the comparison, first off the box has gotten smaller and there is no box art at all. The older dolls' box is mad a lot nicer too with the big plastic window and she actually has a name, not just fashion doll. Moving on from the box we see that the clothes are a lot different too, the older doll while her dress in not the best quality it is a lot nicer than the paper dress on the new doll. They both came with shoes but the older doll came with a stand.... That's right a dollar tree (everything is a dollar) doll came with a stand. Wow.   

     Now let's get into the bodies, the older dolls body is heavier than the new but she does not move like the new one (of course that maybe from age, this girl has been around for 10 years and I do not know how she was stored). Now we are going to go to the face..... As you can see the faces are vastly different and the hair is too. The poor new doll I can not believe what they did to her face, the older doll has a very pretty face. The hair on the new doll is also a disappointment, it is plastic and not soft at all. The old doll has nice soft hair the rooting isn't the greatest but neither is the new doll. 

     In conclusion, I can not believe how much the quality of the dollar tree dolls has went down. While the older doll isn't the best quality I would say she has the quality of a $5 at the dollar general now a days. Which says a lot since she was bought for $1 10 years ago. The dolls in store now are absolutely only worth the dollar you spend (if that). I feel bad talking so badly about the newer doll but come on just look at her. I hope you enjoyed the comparison post and was just as surprised as I was about the change.
