Excelina
This girl is the 1996 Calendar Girl premium Excelina. She was sent as a gift from Takara to all collectors who had bought the whole 1996 Calendar Girl series (12 dolls) and applied before the deadline. She wasn't available through other channels. She is now VHTF as few collectors ever want to part with her. This doll has beautiful colouring and for some reason appears to have Cheko eyes, but has no lower eyelashes (so maybe she should be called Marine instead!).

This doll was released (with help from Totoco) in 1996 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Jenny's Network, a private Jenny fan club. Apparently this club doesn't exist anymore (or maybe it's very private!). Here she's wearing a Noix de Rome original dress bought at Kiddyland.

This doll, known by collectors as "TO-1", was the first in the Totoco original Excelina series. She dates from 1994. Her velvet dress is actually a dark burgundy; there is also a red version in MFDB #2.

This is a Noix de Rome original Excelina. She is sold out. Her hair looks black but is actually dark brown and there is a star-shaped "sparkle" in her green eyes.

Castle original Excelina
This is a Licca-chan Castle original, limited edition Excelina. It's hard to see it in the picture, but her eyes are of a pretty turquoise blue. Her reddish-brown hair is styled in big "sausage" curls falling around her head.
