Best of 2014 - Number 3

"The Boss Is Back" - If you are a fan of America's Next Top Model, you probably know this is the title of the first episode of the new season because Tyra Banks has returned to an active role on the judging panel.  Adele Makeda mold 2.0 has always reminded me of Tyra Banks, and the latest version firmly stakes her claim in the Fashion Royalty lineup.

The screening is an homage to Talking Drama from 2007.  Mold 2.0 was "retired" in 2011, but collectors have refused to let this version go.  There have been an ITBE in 2013 and there have been five FR2 versions (if you count the recently announced W Club exclusive).

Mold 2.0 is one of my very favorite FR molds and Exquise Adele Makeda does not fail to deliver.  Here is a photo in the box.
And a closeup.  Now that's one beautiful doll face!
The accessories are amazing.  Integrity Toys really spoiled collectors this year.
Included are a hat, scarf, cape, opera length gloves, silver jewelry (including a remarkable ring), purse, black & red pumps with silver metal heels, and an extra set of hands.

She looks amazing out-of-box.
And redressed ... Best of 2017 Number 3 - Exquise Adele Makeda.
