Spin Master Liv Dolls

Canadian toy company Spin Master introduced their first fashion doll, Liv. The dolls stood 12 inches tall, with oversized heads with inset acrylic eyes and removable wigs. At the time they were one of the most articulated human fashion dolls on the market, although the promotional material tended to photoshop the joints out which always seemed like a mistake to me, as the promo images would be what parents would see in the catalogues.

Anyway, Liv found it hard to compete with the many other doll brands on the market. They were discontinued in 2012. Read on for a guide to Liv dolls, wigs, and fashions...
