To recap my initial impressions, I was mildly disappointed with Astor because of some articulation issues and mismatched vinyl, and also because of her slightly vacant expression. I was a bit more impressed with Houston's overall look, although she shares all of the above mentioned flaws. Overall, though, I felt pretty satisfied with the high quality clothes, the high level of articulation and the high potential in this line.
After the last review, I still had "Golden Swirl" Astor, "Taxi!" Billy and basic Brook-Lynn in their boxes. Of these three, I felt like Billy had the best chance of being my favorite, so I opened her and the "Gray Haze" fashion pack for this update:
