Hong Kong-made 12 1/2" Jem/Jerrica doll: (Two
examples shown) At first glance, basically the same as the Made
in China version. The Made in China doll is a little taller than my Hong Kong doll.
Hong
Kong dolls typically have darker make up, lower hairline and sleepier
looking eyes, but as you can see from the one on the left here, it's
not always the case. The eyeliner completely encircling the eye
seems to be a Hong Kong-specific trait.
See the 1st Edition Jem/Jerrica body variations
page for more in depth information about the doll itself. |
|
stage dress: The Hong Kong dress has the top layer on the left side (looking at it from the back). China closes on the right. It's easy to tell because of how the velcro is sewn in. The
velcro is also a different colour but that could be due to wear. Again I will repeat that it's very possible this is not a
difference between all Hong Kong and China dolls. It could be I just
got one oddball dress that was sewn differently. |
|
glitter shoes: The
thick sided shoes came with my China marked doll, thin with the Hong
Kong. It may not be so easy to tell by this photo - but you can
see the insides of the China one are more sloped/curved while the Hong
Kong ones have much flatter insides. |
|
bracelet: Much
larger, pinker stone in the Hong Kong doll, as well as Star Caps - the
China H22 one here came with a non-star capped Jem/Jerrica. |
|
reversible belt: The
Hong Kong one is a bit longer/thinner and has differently coloured
velcro - I am not sure if the velcro has just discoloured or not. |
|
daytime dress & hat: China's dress is larger with wider white lines than the Hong Kong dress. Both have blue elastic around the brim. |
|
pumps: The
thick sided, slightly yellow-toned shoes came with my China doll, the
more vibrant blue, thin sided ones with the Hong Kong doll. |
|
sunglasses:
The later China doll got the (in my opinion) better fitting, wider
nose-notched glasses, the Hong Kong with the triangular nose notch. The colour varies somewhat. |
| The
microphone & hairpick didn't have any obvious (to me) differences
with the China-packed dolls. I didn't think the tights were any
different but seeing them on the dolls (see top photo), it looks like
my China-made doll came with thicker tights. |
