I finally brought Claudie over to my doll room today and decided to take a picture of both her and Makena! Claudie and Makena are both African-American dolls who released within the past year with their own unique face molds. At first, it was rumored that Claudie and Makena would share a mold, but that turned out to be not the case!
The molds’s main difference is the width of the head. Claudie’s mold has a wider face than Makena’s, which allows for a much different look. Claudie has wider eyebrows, a chin more similar to the Classic mold, and softer face makeup. Makena has bigger eyes, more pronounced makeup, and a slimmer head. Both dolls have similar noses, which I found to be the biggest similarity between these two.
Who’s face do you like better? Claudie’s looks more “American Girl” to me, but Makena’s is perfect for her character as a modern teenager. I like both of these face molds and can’t wait to see more of them in the future!
I like Claudie. I personally think Makena's face mold is too Our Genration/My Life to me.
claudie's mold looks like a greatly improved makena mold! :D
Aw, they look like sisters! I do prefer Claudie to Makena though. I think it's Makena's eyes that are off-putting to me. I do like her lip color better than Claudie's. I have a CYO with the darkest skin tone that has really maroon colored lips that look too much like lipstick. I prefer more subtle lip color.
I like Makena’s mold with Claudie's eyelashes 💗 so cute!
They are both absolutely stunning dolls! I love their face molds. And I think you're right, Claudie looks more 'American Girl' to me too. Don't know why this is, but I couldn't agree more
