From the mainline 2012 collection
September 2012

"She's Not There" had very short blonde hair cut in a bob.  She had forward-facing blue eyes with a neutral color palette that included eyeshadow done in shades of blue-gray, and nude lips.  She had applied eyelashes.  Her eyebrows were brown. 

She wore a Mod-style black mini dress with white striping.  She wore red fishnet pantyhose, and white go-go boots with a stripe of black down the fronts.  She came with red sunglasses and black-and-white striped dangly ball earrings. Her white purse was outlined with black, and had a wrist strap on one side.



She also came with a matching white Mod-style coat-and-hat set that was the mirror image of her dress.  Instead of black with white striping, the coat was white with black striping in a pattern that matched the dress. 

She came with an extra pair of hands with painted-on white "gloves" on them. 

When the first pictures of this doll were revealed, Poppy Parker fans immediately saw a resemblance to '60s model Twiggy, leading to the doll being called "the Twiggy Poppy" occasionally on doll forums.



Sunshine Games Poppy Parker

Limited edition of 500
From the mainline 2012 collection
August 2012

She had right-glancing brown eyes with applied eyelashes.  Her entire face was done in a neutral palette ...  light brown-toned eyeshadow and nude lips.  Her hair was very dark brown and pulled into two ponytails, with no bangs. She shared an eye screening with 2012's "The Happening."

Her skin was a slightly-tanned skintone darker than the regular Poppy Parker line, but lighter than "Sweet Confection." (Half-way between Integrity's "Caucasian" and "Latino" skin colors.)   She was the first Poppy Parker to have this slightly-tanned skintone.  It was the same skintone used on "Jett" from the Dynamite Girls line.

She wore a pink-and-lime green striped 2-piece bathing suit.  Accessories included a pink-and-white sun hat; white sunglasses; white shoes; pink and white purse with a handle and white hoop earrings.
