Face Molds

There are at least 10 face molds that have been used by Our Generation, though some are minor modifications of others.

## Collector's Lane Face Mold

This was the default mold for the Collector's Lane dolls (the brand that preceded Our Generation) and can be seen on all of the dolls from that line except Vanessa (see below), as well as on the earliest Our Generation dolls. It was also used for the Collector's Lane boy doll, Jack. It is characterized by large eyes, round cheeks, and a full, dimpled smile.

## Classic Face Mold

The Classic face mold became the default face mold used by Our Generation after the Collector's Lane face mold was retired; it is unknown which doll was the first to adopt it. It is characterized by wide eyes, a long yet fairly small nose, and closed, simple lips in a subtle smile. Most Our Generation dolls used this face mold since at least 2013 (and probably earlier) until 2022, when the last of the dolls using this mold were phased out or rebooted using the New Standard face mold (see below).

## Vanessa Face Mold

    The Vanessa face mold is used for African American dolls. It was first used for the Collector's Lane character Vanessa. The face mold is characterized by lower set eyes, a wide nose, and fuller lips. It has been used on Kayla, Maeva (both versions), Cecee, Hadia, Anaya, Abrianna, Meagann, and Nahla (though some newer versions of Nahla use the New Standard face mold, seen below), as well as others.

## Dedra Face Mold

The Dedra face mold was first used for the twins Dedra and Denelle and is used for African American dolls. It is characterized by a longer nose and philtrum than the Vanessa face, wider-set eyes, and a less upturned nose. It has been used on Dedra, Denelle, Laura, Neveah, Zuri, Liah, Lorena, Manuella, and Nia.

## Suyin Face Mold

The Suyin face mold is used for Asian dolls. It was first used by Suyin. The Suyin face mold is characterized by almond shaped eyes, a small nose, round cheeks, and upturned, smiling lips. It has been used on Suyin, Tamaya, and Sun.

## Lei Face Mold

The Lei face mold is a modification of the Suyin mold with rounder eyes, less-full cheeks, and a slightly different nose. The mold was introduced with Lei in 2022 and has so far only be used for her.

## May Lee Face Mold

May Lee's face mold is a variation of the Classic mold. It has a longer nose and jaw than the Classic mold. It appears to have only been used for that doll.

## Classic Male Face Mold

The Classic Male face mold was the first face mold for boy dolls. It is characterized by small eyes, a short nose, and closed, upturned molded lips. It is used on all of the boy dolls except Lee (see Melina face below), including Gabe, Camden, Franco, Theodore, Leo, Rafael, Tyler, Lorenz, Jackson, Daniel, and Elliot.

## Melina Face Mold

The Melina face mold has been used for Asian, Hispanic, and other non-Caucasian dolls. It is characterized by a flat profile, a long, flat nose, and almond-shaped eyes. It has been used on Melina, Elliana, Leticia, Aisha, Asako, Julieta, Rosa, Jin, Mei, Eliana, Iris, and the boy doll Lee.

## Alejandra Face Mold

The Alejandra face mold, which has been only rarely used, is a variation of the Classic mold. While the mouth on the Classic mold is closed, the Alejandra mold has an open mouth with exposed teeth, as well as a shorter nose. It was used for Alejandra and early versions of Juliet.

## New Standard Face Mold

The New Standard face mold is the face mold currently used by almost all Our Generation dolls. It was first used by Hope. The mold is characterized by wide eyes, a wider nose, and larger, more realistic lips. It has become the new default face mold, replacing the Classic mold in all new dolls and in rereleases of older dolls.

## Braces Face Mold

This face mold is a variation of the New Standard face mold, in which the mouth is open with exposed teeth to show braces. It is used for Camila and Imani.
