This is the Strawberry Shortcake Altaya doll made for France. She is called Charlotte Auz Fraises . They made the doll with the first issue body mold that has the flat hands. I took some images of the vintage and this one side by side. I used the curved hand version for the example in my images. The flat handed version appears in the side by side box images (you can't see that ones hands though, because she is in the box, LOL sorry) . These have several differences such as the sizes of the hat and dress. The newer versions outfit is smaller with velcro and does not have the neon ribbon. The newer versions hat is smaller as well. The newer dolls are also slightly taller and have slightly larger heads. The heads largeness is more vertical than diagonal, although it is larger overall. The strawberry on the newer version is embroider directly to the hat where the vintage version has an applique sewn on to it. This doll is very cute. Looks much better in person. As usual the magazine is super bright and vibrant in color. It is full of fun images to bring you loads of cheer. This doll is the 1st doll that was issued.
