Doll-A_Day 2017 #124 :Mystery Squad Kenzie

   Today's doll is Kenzie, from the Mystery Squad series by Mattel.


You may have recently seen my post on Mystery Squad Drew.


 Kenzie is from the same series,the one and only series of Mystery Squad dolls.





Kenzie has one of the best heads of hair I've seen on a Barbie line doll.





 
I love it when they manage to successfully produce a doll with super curly hair. My current favourite is this girl:

She's one of the tall girls in the present line of Barbie and friends.

Seriously,people either love or hate Kenzie's hair. There is no middle ground.


 
I'm getting some Bride of Frankenstein from the hair in this one where I have it pulled back.
 
People who want a Kenzie are either anxious to play with the hair, or in a big hurry to reroot her! 


Sorry, this one refuses to be deleted without deleting the whole rest of the post,so it's here twice.


Kenzie has one of the prettiest face sculpts in all Barbiedom. The Lea face. (Also sometimes called the Kayla sculpt,since it was used on Secret Spells Kayla, one of the most sought after dolls that has used the sculpt.)




This has been one of my favourite head sculpts since I first saw it, and I have several very different dolls with this sculpt.



Originally Lea was Barbie's Asian friend,but the head sculpt has been just about everything since then.



The Mystery Squad dolls had jointed elbows,and click bendable knees. 








 



The knees don't bend very much though.
The other thing the Mystery Squad girls have, is painted nails.



These are her original shoes and socks.


The choker necklace is original too.

 
She originally had a red nylon jacket, a denim skirt, and a striped top. 


Kenzie is the surveillance specialist.

The Mystery Squad dolls came with a lot of cool spy gadgets. There was a back pack, (that you couldn't actually put stuff in, but it had a spring loaded grappling hook!),a secret code reader,a dog with a collar with a secret camera, and kid sized 'spy glasses' that allow you to read hidden messages.




See you tomorrow for another doll.

Doll-A-Day 2017 # 102: Mystery Squad Drew

  Today's doll is Mystery Squad Drew from 2002.

 


The Mystery Squad dolls included Kenzie, Drew,Barbie, and Shawnee.


This Drew is mine,but Emma had all of the Mystery Squad dolls. (I think. She usually did that, but I don't seem to remember her having Shawnee.)


Drew's head sculpt was originally used for Generation Girls Tori and Chelsie. You can see my post on Chelsie HERE.


This is Drew's original skirt,but she borrowed the shirt.



The Mystery Squad dolls only had one release. That's a shame, because they were great looking dolls who came with some really cool stuff,like flashlights,night vision goggles, and other cool spy accessories. You can see the commercial for the Mystery Squad dolls HERE.


They even had a Mystery Squad headquarters playset.

Kind of looks more like a cyber cafe, but hey...
Don't little girls like mysteries and spies? I did? What about all the little girls who read Nancy Drew novels?
When I got her she had some white paint on her face. I removed it, but she still has some in her hair. I tried to camouflage what I couldn't remove, but it shows here.
  Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another doll.
