I bought the Our Generation jeep when I started collecting
my girls and had only the foresight of collecting four dolls. Target was still in town and they carried a
wide variety of stuff I really wanted.
I shouldn’t have been surprised to see that my doll could barely
see over the steering wheel. My girls
are 17” tall but have a much smaller body, hands and feet than Our Generation
Girl dolls.
This jeep is dark pink and silver-grey with a tan colored
seat. I’m not big on the dark pink – I’m
“Pinked” out because of 47 years of Barbie and I intend to paint it at a later
date. I will do some detailing both
inside and out to give it a little more realism, detailing knobs, handles etc.
Both doors are hinged and open up fairly wide. The mirrors are also hinged which means that
when I store the jeep I don’t have to worry about bending or breaking them
off. One can simply turn those inward. The motion of the jeep is great with the
wheels rolling smoothly.
I will need to make a cover for the seats to boost my girls
up. In the before pictures you can see
Wiccah is sitting too low and she can barely see out the windshield.
In the next pictures she is sitting on a 3” roll of packing
tape to boost her to about the proper height.
Making seat covers which are stuffed with thick foam will
solve the problem of the seat height.
This next picture is one I found on the internet (not sure
where I found it) and it shows the AG doll’s head is actually a little between
the roll bars of the jeep. That’s a bit
too high (however maybe it’s just the camera angle...?)
The rest of the jeep’s scale is great. Now the girls can go on a road trip, pull a
trailer, carriage or horse trailer. But
those are future ideas to come… (grin)
As always, let kindness and positive
energy
fill your mind, body and soul.
