Name: Shana 01 Edition: First Country Of Origin: United Kingdom Made in: China Comments: She has normal hands and, as you can see, a widow's peak. Her hair is fairly curly, almost in factory ringlets in places. Her skin tone is fairly light and her lipstick is quite a deep reddish purple. |
Name: Shana 02 Edition: First Country Of Origin: United States Made in: Country Not Given Comments: The unusual thing about this doll is that she is a ball wrist from across the sea. However, it does prove one thing - ball wrist dolls WERE sold in normal circulation in the United States. This doll came to me from a childhood collection and she had all her bits and pieces with her - even down to guitar, hairbow, shoes and panties - so I know that she originated in box. Her eyes are slightly narrower than chinese Shana dolls, and she has no widow's peak. Her hair is very curly and wild and her head is stamped S Hasbro Inc instead of the normal Hologram stamp (Hasbro Inc in a raised block). Her skin tone is also somewhat darker than some of my Chinese Shana dolls. |
Name: Shana 03 Edition: First Country Of Origin: France Made in: China Comments: Her hair is thickly rooted, long and wavy rather than curly - though time has probably loosened it, her curls seem to always have been big and loose rather than small and tightly styled. Her wrists are normal. Her eyeshadow is lavenderish. She also has a widow's peak and her hair is a warm purply lavender :) |
Name: Shana 04 Edition: First Country Of Origin: United States Made in: Hong Kong Comments: This doll has no widow's peak and her hair is a slightly lighter shade than 01, 02 and 03 have. Her eye makeup is more pinkish lavender in tone and she has normal hands. It appears her hair was rooted in the big loose curl variety but when I got her most of her hair was unstyled and in knots so it's hard to know for sure. |
Name: Shana 05 Edition: First Country Of Origin: France Made in: China Comments: Her hair is curled much like 02 all over her head and she has normal wrists. She has also a clear widow's peak. |
Name: Shana 06 Edition: First Country Of Origin: United Kingdom Made in: Hong Kong Comments: Thanks to my sister for loan of this doll :) She has a minute widow's peak and a very high hairline, she also has ball wrists, which makes her classically English in my book! Her eyes are slightly narrower and she has the S Hasbro Inc stamp on the back of her head. Her skin tone is a mite darker than the chinese dolls have and her hair is very tightly factory curled into small curls all over her head. |
Name: Shana 07 Edition: First Country Of Origin: United States Made in: Hong Kong Comments: Thanks to my sister for the loan of this doll. This Shana has a high hairline, no widow's peak and what appears to be quite a round face. Her wrists are normal. Her lipstick is kinda plum coloured and her eyeshadow very pinkish lavender. |
Name: Shana 08 Edition: First Country Of Origin: United States Made in: Hong Kong Comments: This doll is unusual in my mind because she's a Hong Kong first edition doll with a Widow's Peak (Most widow peak Shanas are China made). Her eye shadow is a mite pinker than the Chinese dolls, but not as pinkish as 07 or 04. Her hair is quite wild and big, in what was originally probably a mass of fairly small curls (like 01 and 05, only more thickly rooted.) She has normal hands. |
Name: Shana 09 Edition: Second Country Of Origin: United States Made in: China Comments: This is a Second Edition doll, because she bears the hasbro made earring holes. Like most Second year dolls she is made in China. Her hair appears to have originally been much like 11, 01 and 05, though it was a mess when I got her and I have restyled it since. Her expression is very dreamy somehow and her eyeshadow pale lavender. Her hands are normal. |
Name: Shana 10 Edition: Second Country Of Origin: United States Made in: China Comments: This is a second edition doll (see earrings). Her hair is wildly curled all over her head, much like 01 and 05, but appears more thickly rooted. She has a clear widow's peak and her wrists are normal. Her eyeshadow is more pinkish than 09 and her skin tone is a mite darker, as is her lipstick. |
Name: Shana 11 Edition: Second, presumed Country Of Origin: United States Made in: Hong Kong (!) Comments: Thanks to my sister for the loan of this doll. This Shana puzzles me. I got her for my sister from Ebay and she came as you see her, with the single earring in her ear. She has a widow's peak and her eyeshadow is more purplish than 09. Her hair was once likely in big loose curls or like 05. Since she came with not only her earring but almost her whole outfit (including the purple variation jacket), I believe that this doll, despite her unusual Hong Kong stamp, is a genuine Second Edition doll. You decide :) |
