Baby
Face Look-Alike's
Imitation
is the best form of flattery, they say.
This page shows the Angel Face dolls by Berjusa and Miss
Pretty by Uranium.
  
  
The Angel Face
dolls by Berjusa are 12 inches instead of 13, but the
difference is all in the size of the head because their
body is the same height and size as Baby Faces. They wear
the same dress size, the same pant size, and the same
shoe size. The Angel Face dolls do not have the extra
joints at elbow and knee, and they are not of the same
quality. The body is a cheap plastic, and the head and
arms are vinyl. Their faces are expressive, but in a
different way than Baby Face. I think they look like
little gnomes. I do find them appealing and it is
tempting to collect them. Apparently the Angel
Face dolls do not have names assigned.
Here are two original
photos from an Angel Face box:
Below is an actual NRFB
Angel Face doll. The box shows many things in common with
the Galoob Baby Face dolls. Poseable doll - feelings you
can see - heart charm - "Angel" Face instead of
"Baby" Face - Six expressions....... Berjusa
sure was inspired by Galoob, weren't they??
Angel
Face Variations
  
In addition to
the six Angel Face dolls that are pictured on the box, we
know of three black dolls and a white doll that is a
variation (shown in the photos above.) We do not know if
these other dolls were sold as Angel Face. All of them
have the Berjusa ID on their neck.
The black doll
in the photo on the left was purchased off of ebay. We
don't know if the outfit is original. Probably not. The
shoes are replaced. She is pictured next to the white
doll with the same face mold.
Debbie, who
operates the Medolls web site, says that she
purchased her black doll from QVC. Debbie's black doll is
the one wearing the red shirt. The outfit is original and
the shirt says "Only for Kids Fashion." Debbie
says that QVC sold another black doll at the same time,
which she did not purchase. It did not look like the doll
in green, it had a different face. She does not remember
if it was sold as "Angel Face" or not.
The white doll
on the far right is all original. She has freckles and
the same hairstyle as one of the Angel Face dolls, but
her original outfit is unlike any of the other Angels.
Her face mold is the same as the sad doll. She is a
variation of unknown origin. Thank you to Francine of BabyFaceDolls.com for the photo.
Miss Pretty by
Uranium
 The Uranium dolls are shorter at 9.5
inches, but the company was very obvious in their attempt
to imitate the Galoob dolls. The extra jointed arms and
legs, the big eyes with "real" eyelashes (cheap
plastic), the starfish shape to the hands and even the
diaper is just the same shape and style. She is wearing a
red visor with a blue ruffle.
However, my
impression of this little doll is that it is grotesque
compared to Baby Face DeeDee. (The photo actually makes
her look better than real life.) The expression is not
sweet. The materials seems cheap by comparison. It is not
very poseable at all, despite all the joints. I could
hardly get it to stand up. I like the Berjusa dolls but I
do not care for this little character much at all.
