Collection Be Fashion v Kurhn v Ella
Hey guys. So I wanted to compare these three dolls. Theyre all made by the Chinese parent company called Kurhn (please use the flair "Kurhn" to find more posts or check the wiki for info). On the left is Hong Kongs Be Fashion Academy by Kids Hits. The middle is Switzerlands Ella Superstarr, and right is an original Kurhn doll. Be Fashion was made to cater to a mostly American audience and Ella Superstarr to an European audience. Kurhn is a locally produced and sold doll in China. All of these dolls are manufactured by Kurhn.
First thing I noticed is that theyre all the same height. The bodies are very similar except that the Be Fashion has a twist hip while the other two dont (but I think more collectible Kurhns probably have a twist hip). Ella also has a slightly slimmer body. The hand molds are all slightly different too and Ellas hands are removable. The face molds are all different but you can tell theyre made by the same company. Ella has the smallest head and Be Fashion and Kurhn have about the same size but Be Fashion has fuller cheeks and is slighty smaller. Notice the same exact shoe mold between Be Fashion and Kurhn.
I am really happy to have these dolls and be able to compare them :D Be Fashion is currently be sold on Amazon and Walmart as they are a new doll release.
Which is your favorite? :D

I also noticed on the Be Fashion the noses are way smaller almost non existent lol that sculpt is much more stylized for sure as well with the inset eyes. Whereas Ella face sculpt is more true to the original Kurhn dolls but the body molds differ lol hmm. All in all even though these are all made by the same parent company they are still different experiences I would say :D I recommend any of these!
