Fashion Doll Friday – Mystery Squad Kenzie 2003


Fashion Doll Friday – Mystery Squad Kenzie 2003

This week’s doll is Mystery Squad Kenzie. She has articulated arms on a teen Skipper body. I was lucky to get her because as far as I know these dolls were not sold in Australia. She is wearing a Fashion Avenue  Skipper outfit. I’m not sure of the year.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  2. She is SO COOL. I LOVE her hair. 🙂

    I noticed an old friend of mine from Oregon in your “community” page. What a SMALL world! (“rhubsknit”)

  3. Ah one of my favourites, I love this doll. such an unusual Lea. My version has never been undressed so Her shoes are still banded on. As a consequence, I don’t do much with her 😦 I need to get hold of a nude, scruffy version that I can do up and play with properly, or I just need to bite the bullet and undress mine …

    • I know. It’s always hard to decide whether to undress the uncommon/unusual ones. I have two or three like that too. Usually in the end I cave and play with them because I want to see how they would look in other outfits.

  4. Mystery Squad wasn’t sold here either, but Kenzie was one of my playline grails. I was lucky and scored mine nude but in great condition from a yardsale, so I don’t have any regrets redressing and playing with her. Last year I found Dani and Shawnee from the line at a fleamarket. They both were nude, but I was happy to find them, so I don’t mind at all.

    I loved the detective theme of the line, since my dolls always were detectives or secret agents in my childhood.

    • Mystery Squad was perfect for you then. What a pity that Mattel is not so imaginative with the playline now. All they seem to make for kids is princesses, fairies, ballerinas and hair play dolls and the quality is not there either.

  5. Wow how did I miss this blog!?..I have this doll and have been trying to dress her!, I used her as Twilight’s Victoria till I could afford one. I also thought she could be an Irish miss, Mystery solved! So I guess I should dress her like a modern day Nancy Drew.
