This article is about anatomy and items for standard Hairdorables Dolls. Variations will be addressed on their pages.

Basic Doll Anatomy is a summary of the overall features of the Hairdorable dolls and accessories. While each specific doll has a unique combination of eye color, hair color and style, skin tone, and paired face mold and each comes in unique outfits, there is a basic anatomy shared among the dolls. This allows every doll to wear any other doll's clothing fairly well. There are also similar traits across articles of clothing and shoes.

Overall Doll Anatomy and Skin Tones

Each Hairdorable doll is made of plastic vinyl and approximately five inches tall from top of head to base of feet, not including hairstyles. The anatomy dimensions take influence from the Japanese chibi art style or super-deformed; the head makes up 2/5ths of the dolls' overall size. The characters are intended to be teenage (as products and marketing imply use of Youtube and vlogging, which users must be 13 to have accounts).

Most dolls have unique skin tones of realistic tones; the skin tones are the same across a single character, but not compared to each other. Skin tones can be documented as follows:

• Pale Peach: Brit, Bella, Kat, Rayne, Harmony
• Tan: Noah
• Medium Brown: Dee Dee, Sallee, Skylar, Neila
• Medium Golden Brown: Willow
• Dark Reddish Brown: Kali

Notable differences include Super Neila who has light green skin and Rayne Showers who has a iridescent shimmer. Characters are not defined racially or ethnically , but can be mapped by simulated hair texture and skin tone to perceived racial phenotype.

Heads

Heads are about two inches tall and about six inches in diameter. Faces have large eyes, small button noses with slightly indented nostrils, and wide mouths. The faces come in either closed mouth or open mouth style.

Every doll has arched thick line eyebrows, frequently matching the default hair color.

The back of the heads have ©2017 JP China molded on the back center just below the hairline.

Heads turn left and right on a pivot.

Eyes

Eyes are painted on and always open. They are approximately 1/2" tall and 1/2" wide, not including lash, and teardrop shaped.

Each eye has dark eyeliner with a single winged eyelash. The eyes have large pupils with highlights, character-matching colored irises, and white sclera. There are also two white highlights on the right side of the eyes unless the doll is glancing right, in which case they are on the left.

Eyes are orientated three directions: glancing together to the left, glancing together to the right, or facing forward and centered.

Mouths

Each doll either has a open mouthed smile that shows even white teeth and a slightly darker inner mouth or a closed mouth smile. Lips are painted in tones of pink.

Ears

Ears are well defined. While illustrations on some characters show earrings, none of the characters come with painted earrings or pierced ears.

Hair

The hair is synthetic nylon doll hair and rooted to the head. The paint underneath the scalp matches hair colors; undercolored hair and streaks are not painted but some highlights may be. Dual colored hair (e.g. Dee Dee's variations) and Whimsical Willow's three toned hair is matched under each section.

Hair comes in three main textures: wavy/curly, straight, or tightly coiled. Loose hairstyles and braids come down to the dolls' feet; Curled ponytails and straight looped ponytails generally are styled up and stop at the hips, but would come to to the feet if down. Topknot ponytails stop at the knees and come to the feet loose. Tightly coiled hair does not come down to the feet.

Hairstyles that need to be held in place in package (braids, ponytails) are shaped with clear rubber bands. If a part is present, it is weaved to hide rooting.

Sk8r Noah comes with a velcro-attactched flower in her hair. Super Neila and Royal Bella have clear tinsel. Rayne Showers has metallic tinsel.

Torso

The torso are approximately 1 3/4" from neck to crotch and match skin tones to the head. Bodies are covered with strapless bodysuits (that go under the arms) in colors that are specific to each character (e.g. all versions of Willow have light blue bodysuits). The torso has a slight waistline and wide hips.

Arms and Hands

The arms are connected to the torso on rotating joints that can be moved in multiple directions. Hands are five fingered and molded with visible fingers, though fingers except thumb are not separated. No fingernails are visible.

Arms and hands come in three varieties. Bent and straight arms can come matched or interchangeable; Heart Hands always come together.

Bent Arms

The arm is bent at the elbow approximately ninety degrees, with slightly cupped hands and fingers; the thumb is slightly apart. This allows the doll to place the hand on her hip or cup her face.

Straight Arms

The arm is held out at a mostly straight angle, with slightly cupped hands; the thumb is slightly out. The hand can reach up to the ear.

Heart Hands

The arm is bent at an acute angle with curved fingers and the thumb held out. These are always paired as a set on a doll so that, when the hands are posed in front of the chest together, the hands make the shape of a heart with the thumbs on the bottom.

Legs and Feet

The legs are attached to the torso on rotating joints that can be moved in multiple directions. There are shaped knees and ankles, and visible toes with no visible toenails. On the bottom of the left foot is a manufacturing code; this does not indicate which doll.

Clothing

Clothing is fabric, fully removable, and closes along the back with velcro. Tops and bottoms are two separate pieces. Tops, skirts, and dresses open fully along the back; shorts and pants velcro at the back of the waist. Hems may or may not be present. Skirts include a thin ribbon that goes between the legs and against the crotch so that skirts do not ride up high.

Shoes

Shoes are molded colored plastic with both molded and painted details. With the exception of flats or sandals, the shoes are slit up the back to facilitate putting on and taking off. Socks, of part of the outfit, are molded and attached to the shoes.
