Sumatra

Another beautiful girl from Mattel's Dolls of the World collection. No matter how I try to discontinue this line the beauty of the girls in this collection keeps pulling me back. And, Sumatra is no exception.

Photos and review may not be used without permission.

She is a DotW, and her box is printed with information on the country of Sumatra/Indonesia -- it is an interesting read.

Sumatra wears a blue/aqua outfit that is very similar to Indian salwar. The outfit is not bad, I absolutely love the rich color. There is a gold printed motif at the lower part of the outfit. She wears a sheer golden pants/leggings, and the arms of her dress is also the same gold sheer material.

She wears a gold headdress; it is kinda flaky looking but I did not expect too much. I am satisfied with her jewelry as well...nothing outstanding but good for overall effect. The girl has gorgeous grey/blue/green eyes. Face paint is beautiful, her hair is dark and long. The back of her hair was made into a loop sort of thing -- thanks to Mattel's packaging skills and my unpacking skills, it has been destroyed.

This doll is a job close to 'well done'. She is lovely, and I do not know why she is not as popular as Diwali -- because she deserves to be. Here is a comparison shot with her cousin; you can see how the underrated Sumatra shines.
