Fleur Facemolds of the 70s

The Slim Basic facemold was probably the first facemold Fleur ever had. The vinyl is hart. It has a slim, pointy chin reagion. The hole for the neck knob is smaller than later molds. The eyes are small, the lashes are short, the lips are orange and she has orange blushing cheeks. The hair is soft and shiny, short and curly. This mold was used for dolls produced in 1978 and as far as I know only used on the Basic Fleur.

This facemold was probably the second mold made. The vinyl is hart. It is slightly wider than the slim facemold especially around the cheeks and chin. The lashes are longer, the lips are orange and she has a heavy orange blush. 

Hair can be short or middlelong, curly or wavy, mostly soft and shiny.

The next Fleur doll released in 1978/ 1979 was Belle Fleur with a new facemold. The vinyl is hart. The faceshape is rounder and wider than the two Basic Fleur facemolds. Lashes vary from long to short. The lips can be orange, can fade to yellow and can be red. The blush can be orangey or peachy. 

Hair can be short, middlelong or long, mostly wavy. It was soft and silky on some dolls and more coarse on others. The rooting pattern also differed, depending on the doll.

Dolls with the Squishhead facemold were dressed in the Basic Fleur outfit and were sold probably at the beginnings of Fleur, in 1978/1979. The head is very big made of a very soft, squishy vinyl. Her eyes are rather small with short lashes. She has azure blue eyecolor and subtle blue eyeshadow. Her lips are small and peachy pale, she has subtle blush.

her hair is short and curly of a nice shiny quality.

This mold was only used for Basic Fleur.

Dungaree Fleur has a special facemold. The vinyl is hart, the eyes are small and she has short lashes. The lips are small and red. She has usually blue eyeshadow and the intensity varies a lot from just a little to a hilarious amount of eyeshadow, like the one pictured. The cheeks are blushing in red. Hair is short, coarse and wavy. She came on a special Dungaree body. 

The Gauntlet facemold was probably made in 1978 as one of the first molds, the faceshape is the same as the Slim Basic Facemold. She has painted on lashes and no gap for stick in lashes. Lips are small and orange, cheeks a blushing orange. The hair is fluffy, short and curly made of a mohair-like fiber.  She comes on the Gauntlet Fleur body with articulated ellbows. It is unknown if she was sold as a dressed doll or only used for promotional pictures and displays.

This is the second doll that comes on a gauntlet body. The faceshape is significantly wider than Belle especially around the chin region which makes the face almost square. The vinyl is softer and darker than the standart 70s Fleurs. She has long, stick in lashes. The lips are orange and she has strongly blushing cheeks. The hair of mine is very coarse and sparely rooted, it is shoulderlong with an outside curl. However I have also seen with softer and fuller hair.

It is unknown which doll she was sold as. 

The Softhead on the far left and the Skatestar are not the same facemold, but were both used for the Skatestar Fleur. Both heads are made of a softer vinyl. Softhead is alltogether wider than Belle facemold with a darker skin color, Iceskater has the same shape as Belle but tend to pale to a white skin colour. The eyecolor on both is a lighter blue. They have small orange lips and peachy blushing cheeks. The hair of Softhead is soft and shiny, on Iceskater more coarse, rooted only on the upper half of the head. They ususally came on a 70s body with soft rubber arms.

The Skistar Fleur has an own facemold that was only used for her. The vinyl is soft. The mold resembles the Madejefie doll, an known dutch Fleur clone. The eyes are small, the lashes can be short or long. She has pale orange lips and soft pink blush. Her lips are painted in a small smirk or without a smirk. Her hair is short and ginger or blonde.

She comes on a special Skistar body.
