Doll-A-Day 2019 #75: Liana 'Lemonhead' Kelly Doll

  Today's doll is a short lived one.

It's Liana,a 'Lemon Head' Kelly friend doll.

I haven't unboxed this one because I think I have one out of the box somewhere.

  Most people know Kelly, Barbie's little sister. She first appeared as a baby in 1994. The first Kelly doll came with a crib, a pacifier, a diaper, and a baby bottle. She gradually grew older, becoming a toddler, and then a school age kid. These days she's much older, and the dolls are taller, and now named Chelsie. (?!) But in between, there was the Lemon Head.

Lemon Head Kellys first showed up in 2003. For some reason Mattel thought it would be clever to give Barbie a mutant sister with a head shaped like a sideways lemon, when no other member of the family looked like a cartoon. 

'Cute new look'. Nobody seemed to think so.

Collector's gave the dolls the nick name Lemon Head, based on the weird shape of their heads.

The dolls proved unpopular, and they quickly faded.

Fuzzy has the boy on the lower left. He had almost every Tommy doll made when he was a kid.

This doll is from the Sweetsville line.
 

   
She has longer, slimmer limbs than the original Kelly dolls, and is a bit taller.

  

Tomorrow hopefully there will be another doll. I hope the automated system or Ken have been posting these!
