Gabriela Icely Variants
Hello everyone! My name is Brooke and I love Rainbow High dolls. One of the coolest things about them, at least to me, is the amount of variation that exists even when concerning only one official release. As a disclaimer: this is not an exact science- it is a trend that I have noticed and have confirmed with others. You are not guaranteed to have the exact face deco shown even if the doll was released at the same time and has the same foot code. With that out of the way… Let’s get started!
I am showing four Gabi dolls today: two different releases from series 3 and two from budget series 3.
Image above shows Series 3 Gabriela Icely doll purchased in July of 2021. Foot code: 24221WFE 575771
Image above shows a series 3 Gabriela Icely doll purchased in 2022 from a discount retailer. It is unknown when her batch released officially. Foot code: 46221WFE 575771
The differences between these two dolls are pretty difficult to explain but are very obvious when looking at them side-by-side

I find it so interesting that the same doll can look so different!
The doll above is Series 3 budget Gabriela Icely and was purchased in June of 2023. Foot code: 12223WFE 987758
Doll head above is a suspected factory sample of Gabriela Icely Series 3 Budget. She was purchased in early 2023 and was found with hand painted prototypes. Note that the head is severely warped and dirty 
The makeup changed quite a bit if the head is truly an earlier sample of the doll!
Which is your favorite? Would you like to see more posts like this? Let me know!
My favorite is the later batch Series 3 Gabi! I think she is incredibly gorgeous!
I think posts like this going over variants would be super cool !!! it’s a really interesting aspect of dolls I think :]
She’s so underrated. I love seeing the little differences !!
I love Gabriella so much! She was a doll I wasn’t expecting to like, but I loveee her color and her hair! These variants are super cool, and I love their existence!!They remind me of that one swim wave of monster high dolls where Venus had green or pink eyeshadow, and Draculaura either had fangs or no fangs!
