Meanwhile I'll keep staring at this doll and going "This is really good! So why didn't I like it? There's nothing wrong with it, so there must be something wrong with me. " (Hence the difficulty leaving the comment.)
I suspect in nearly every contest there's at least one doll that leaves the judge going, "This is objectively a really amazing and wonderful doll, but somehow it's just not working for me here." And for me, this time, this seems to be you. The colors are beautiful and unique, the execution is excellent, I cannot argue that this is anything other than an excellent doll, but it just didn't hit me quite right for this contest for some reason. Left me at a bit off a loss for what to say, too.
