Just received the latest addition to the Manor; Ever After High Lizzie Hearts or, as I’ve renamed her, Megan Mac, daughter of Eris, the Goddess of Chaos.
The doll itself looks great! She’s been one of the characters I’ve been anticipating getting since last summer. Seriously, Mattel introduced WAY too many characters and hasn’t been able to produce the dolls fast enough! Like when are they finally going to come out with Kitty Cheshire?!
Lizzie is exactly as I picture Megan-outrageous in style, loud n’ proud! Especially her heart shape around her eye. It’s a nice touch from the heart shape on the lips characters like Cupid and Cedar Wood have had-it just makes their expression seem so severe somehow. I’m very tempted to repaint those aqua blue eyes a subtle gold or amber. Or even green!
Her dress design is gorgeous, complimenting the traditional design of playing cards, from her ruffle to the peplum skirt details. The cut of the dress is simple, but so well embellished. Her accessories are quirky, like her matt black hand gloves, heart decorated tights and above all, probably the most demanding and eye catching crown featured amongst the royals of Ever After High yet! Sure, Apple and Briar are Princesses, but here is a Queen.
Her hair is the one problem. It came out very frizzy and knotted, and I’m having a heck of a time brushing it smooth without ripping strands from her scalp! Also the rolls on top of her head, in the cartoon set in a heart shape, aren’t quite so obvious as I feared. But yes, I’ll brush them out eventually!
Overall I really thought the details of the doll characters would restrict her transition as one of my characters. But really she’s pretty much fits my vision for Megan Mac. Bio to come!
