The 2005 Vivian and Monty dolls as they arrive. This is the VaVoom Vivian with red hair with a blonde streak and Off the Cuff Monty with black hair with a grey streak.
Vivian and Monty are beautifully sculpted dolls. Monty is physically "correct" and has painted on chest hair and a faint 5 o'clock shadow. He has rooted black hair with grey streaks.
Vivian wearing the Genie Martini outfit. It is top quality with a tiny zipper in the harem pants, fully lined, with a fur trimmed evening coat and wonderful tiny accessories - a tray with martini shaker, two martini glasses, cigarette holder and bottle of Vodka!
Monty wears Leisuretime suit. This outfit has quite a few mix and match pieces. There is a white short sleeve shirt with blue bow tie. Sleeveless knit vest that snaps up the back and slacks with real zipper in the front fly. Also included are white socks and saddle shoes with real laces, a two toned jacket with belt and cute stuffed miniature cat.
Monty wears the Tonner Matt Chicago outfit. It fits okay, but the pants don't close in the front. Otherwise, everything, including the shoes fits.
A comparison of the original Vivian, 1960's Vivian with new VaVoom Vivian. VaVoom has a slightly thicker waist, so some of the original Vivian's outfits will not fasten in the back.
I'm collecting the "hostess outfits" and here is the original Vivian, the 1960's version in Platter Party released in 2002 and the 2005 Vivian in Genie Martini. Both came with trays of martinis, but the 2005 version has more accessories!
The 1960's Vivian wearing one of the first series of outfits, Platter Party, released in 2002, which comes with the tray of martinis shown.
