Kenner's Cool Cuts Kara (1990)

Welcome to my new blog, and my first post. Today I will be looking at Kenner's Cool Cuts Kara. This doll was produced for one year (1990) only. I first saw this doll on Flickr. Not knowing much about her I researched her and after a very short while I found almost everything I could have. So I then decided to buy one for myself. She can be found with pale pink makeup or dark purple makeup. My one here has the lighter pink makeup.

Cool Cuts Kara has large plugs of hair that can be cut and replaced. The hair came in 3 different shades: Romantic Blonde (pink undertone), Golden Blonde (yellow undertone), and Honey Brunette. My doll came with a head of cut, mangled hair in a mixture of romantic and golden blonde. I purchased 3 packages of Honey Brunette hair to replace her blonde hair.

So what do I think of her now that I have one of my own? Well… I think she has a very pretty face and she is very unique. But her plugs of hair aren't very attractive and are very conspicuous. The hair is also very hard to style. She is much larger than other fashion dolls as well, making her harder to incorporate into a streamlined collection like my own. But it is worth noting that she was after all a child's toy and I think this doll would provide a child with many hours of dolly hair fun.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed this post. Should you wish to give me feedback or to talk to me and/or others about this doll please feel free to post a comment below. I shall end this post with the original commercial for Cool Cuts Kara:
