The first (far left) is Wedding Day Kelly and Todd #2820; “Adorable Flower Girl and Ringbearer.” (c) 1991. This item is included here as a Stacie item for the historical referencing of the Kelly-Stacie identity matter and the fact that this is the first entry of the modern Todd. When compared to Stacie, Kelly has a narrower face, darker blonde hair, lower eyelashes, a closed smile and freckles. She wears a floor-length pink flower girl’s dress with a dotted Swiss overskirt hemmed with lace, dotted Swiss sleeves, a lace collar and a pink, ribboned waistband. She carries a white cloth flower basket with pink roses and netting tucked inside. A pink hair ribbon and pearlized pink shoes complete the look. In this set, Todd is the same as he will be in future releases, except for a sprinkle of freckles identical to Kelly’s. He wears a black tux with shiny black lapels, white ribbon cuffs, a white collar, a pink shirt and boutonniere, a gray vest, silver tie and black shoes. He carries a white ring pillow trimmed in lace, with a wrist strap and a ring symbolized by a clear bead sewn onto the center of the pillow. Instantly tell Kelly from Stacie by looking for freckles, which Stacie has never had. Original retail price: appx. $20. Current value: retail.
