Ocean Drive Baroness Agnes Von Weiss - Mini Gift Set 2019 W Club Exclusive
I am sorry for this later review. Preorder is already closed for this doll, but I wanted to add her to my preview list, as I think I have all FR offers covered.
So, this is the second Wclub exclusive doll and it is a mini gift set and it's Agnes!!! I preordered right away, but as always, I had some doubts...
First of all, mini gift set??? This doll comes with only one dress and a swimsuit!? Yes, she has two pairs of shoes, but look at East 59th collection we got this year, all dolls have swimsuit, two pairs of shoes and additional outfit at $30 less price. I think it would be better if they left that term out.
Collectors begged for a dark skinned Agnes for a while. Although I do not like Agnes extra pale, I am not sure if I will like this Agnes in hand. I got Seduisante Elyse and although I like her a lot, I just do not think of her as Elyse. IMO, older sculpts that have personalities and background should be offered in skintones similar to original releases. HOWEVER, I really adore FR black skintone, after Tan or Sunkissed it is my favorite skintone! So, I will hold my fingers for this one.
Love her screening, those eyebrows are everything! Is it me or is there a lavander hue on her eyeshadow??? I kind of like that. This Agnes reminds me on Morning Dove Kyori for some reason. I am sure she will look great in white outfits.
Now, I am not sure why Jessy (Ayala - the designer) gave her this orangy dress, I am not sure I like the color. Still, I like the details, like chains. I love lavander sunglasses, but why they used the old sculpt???
The swimsuit is gorgeous! I love everything about it, the Versace print, the color the cut... and those sandals! I guess the jewelry is OK.
Overall, the hairstyle and outfits don't feel like FR to me. I think Nadja would look great here. Agnes is more sophisticated character for this design, IMO.
Her name is perfect though, Ocean Drive, quite summery, too bad we will probably get her close to winter.
Now, I am thinking what is ahead of us. It has been announced that Jessy will design the main FR and NuFace collection, as well as all dolls at the convention except the centerpiece dolls. I am wondering, is this the last time we are seeing Agnes? I am almost sure Jason Wu will choose Agnes and Elyse for centerpiece dolls. Therefore, Jessy will leave those characters out of convention offer. We got this Agnes now, so I guess we will not see her in the mainline?!
