Mattel Barbie/Stardoll collaboration dolls feature new headsculpts?

[modernwizard]

News from D7ana. Apparently Stardolls, a pixel fashion dolls Web site, and Mattel are collaborating to bring out some dolls based on fashions from the Web site. From this collage created by a fan, it appears that the new Stardolls Barbies may have new headsculpts. Look, for example, at the redheaded doll in lower left. I swear I've never seen that headsculpt before. Trying to find some larger pictures of these dolls...

Here are larger pictures of two of the Stardoll dolls. Even the one on the right looks unfamiliar sculpt-wise. It could just be her paint job, though...

When I saw those, my reaction was, "Yep, definitely Mattel made, but dunno the sculpts." I do like how the brunette's eyebrows make he look like she's mid-disbelieveing-laugh.

Thanks for the larger photos, Elizabeth! Wow, they do look new, the heads I mean. I love the brunette's smile and how DollsAhoy described it.

I'm adding a link to this photo. Excellent research and what a find, this larger photo.

i have to say i really like the blond one ! the head, the mold, the painting - she looks a bit more mature and realistic than the traditional Barbie. Really like it :D
