Nope :( It's close to that Hot Topic anniversary doll, but not the same. Notice the difference in the hair (bangs) for one. And this doll has velcro on the back of its dress, whereas the anniversary doll has a metal snap.

Perhaps the 20th anniversary one is the one they were trying to make the knock-off based on

I saw some dolls being sold in Kiddy Land, Harajuku store though I didn't buy any I think they looked like the 25th anniversary ones. Could be used in a different mold too.

So perhaps this is one of those prototypes? Are prototypes usually made this poorly though?
I've seen a white 2009 Orange Blossom prototype with blonde hair...

I think you're right, it is a non-vintage knock off-

I got a whole set of slightly different knock-offs from China (also without tags)- they look slightly different than yours-

prototypes wouldn't be so poorly made- and there wouldn't be so many of them. Usually protos are either super-detailed, (made for photos with extra hand-painted fatures and thicker hair) or rough prototypes (look like they have been hand-sewn or pieced together from existing stuff)

She's neat tho- I kindof like knock-offs, they're interesting!

this is my hot topic doll from 2000. maybe it is one of these, but i think the hot topic one had different feet...

Who made these dolls? Were they from Toy Play or someone else?

I'm loling at the upside down color belt on that knockoff! And those eyes are such a bright blue!
