Transition Dolls

Transition Dolls are dolls manufactured between 1999 and 2002, the four years between the end of Pleasant Company and the true beginning of the appearence of Mattel traits in the dolls.

Early Transition Dolls
1999-2000 Some so-called early transition dolls are actually pre-Mattel because they were manufactured before the takeover. True early transition dolls have certain traits:
 * Harder eyelashes (between pre-Mattel and Mattel levels of hardness)
 * Chubbier bodies
 * Shorter dolls

Later Transition Dolls
2001-2002 These dolls have much harder eyelashes. They are still shorter and a little plumper than Mattel dolls and thus have a small amount of difficulty into fitting into tight jeans, bodices, etc. Many dolls of this time, including Lindsey also have some characteristic defects:
 * A grey cast to their vinyl, varying in severeness
 * Hair that frizzes easily due to mistreating of the Kanekolon-Denyl
