Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who celebrate!

When I was a kid in the 80s, Rainbow Brite dolls were a big deal. They had colourful outfits, yarn hair, and fuzzy plush sprite companions. I had Patty O'Green, so when The Loyal Subjects announced a 5.5" fashion doll version of her, I had to get her.

...and immediately had to pack her up for our move. Almost a month later, I'm still unpacking and organizing 🫠 but I had to let her have some time in the spotlight for St. Paddy's Day!

(Good Luck Bear and Monster High G3 Deuce Gorgon are there for moral support, and because they were green and also unpacked.)

The Loyal Subjects' Rainbow Brite series of fashion dolls has a mystery unboxing/surprise item gimmick, where you don't know which accessories you'll get until you open the doll.

This strikes me as kind of cruel, because who's going to buy multiple dolls in the hopes of getting a complete set (or just one specific accessory)?

I was a little disappointed to get what appear to be stickers in the shape of adhesive medical strips. I don't really remember Rainbow Brite lore, beyond "Patty O'Green is the practical joker" (which stuck in my head because at the time, I didn't know what that meant). Was she also accident-prone?

The Patty O'Green doll is cute! The Loyal Subjects have released some Rainbow Brite (and Friends) dolls in the bigger size with the yarn hair, and that would have been a more faithful recreation of my childhood Patty O'Green doll...

But I like how small and portable and articulated this one is, plus her hair is silky and brushable!

For a moment I thought she was throwing the horns, but I think that's actually the I Love You gesture.
