Looking at Joss with all the molds, She is definitely a Josefina base with Nanea eye sockets and a Nanea chin and lips (though the lip paint itself is shaded and shaped differently, so it gives some variety). Her ears really just look like modified Josefina ears. She is definitely one of the most photogenic AG dolls I've ever worked with. Where it can be very hard to get the Josefina molds to look right due to angles, this doll looks perfect in almost every snap! The slideshow below shows the various comparison photos, and the photos have captions to mention what doll is with Joss.
NB: Joss' eyes do not appear as white in real life as they have photographed in some of these photos. She has the beautiful old-quality brown pinwheel eyes. We are just in a stretch of dark, rainy weather, so getting good photos is very difficult. Ignore the whites of the eyes. :)

The wig on my sister's doll is very nice. Silky, shiny, evenly layered. My doll has one of the craziest wigs you've ever seen. It came with dried ends and the layering was a chopped job that had really long hair on the bottom half and medium hair on the top half. It didn't look like layers at all -- just two different lengths of hair in the same wig. Here's a picture showing them out of the box after twenty-four hours (my doll is on the left).
I re-did the original hair style in a way that hides the small bare spot over the right ear, and she looks so cute. (Actually, my sister and I were kind of shocked at how much these dolls -- particularly with the trimmed hair -- look like us. We're identical twins, and we actually noticed that the two dolls have the same differences to each other as we do!) Having lived with her this way for almost two days now, we've decided to keep these two dolls as they are (going to trim the hair on my sister's to match mine) and make them twins. The hair colour, eyes, etc., are about as close to us as you could get. Not to mention the sort of "nothingness" about the hair -- being that it isn't straight and it isn't really wavy, which is just like us. Here they are after mine had the trim (she's on the right in these pictures).
