Review - BeForever Maryellen Mini Doll

Mini Maryellen is CUTENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really wish there were little lace trimmed ankle socks on this doll.

Her strawberry blond ponytail is FULL and bouncy!

Because AGP Scottsdale, AZ was the first store to sell Maryellen on Friday August 21, her mini  became available too at Target, Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon and other online book retailers.

She has a melon, cantaloupe and sea foam green color scheme and the cotton dress has ribbon straps and details.
