Lara/Marie Lara is a young and aspiring artist,
joining her new friends at the Intl NY high school. She has long brown hair.
First version a tiny knot on her head, second version, twe braided strands
in front. There were three different versions of GG and Lara was present in
all three.

Ana/Marissa
Ana is a young sports athlete attending
the "International High School in New York" as the box says. Ana comes from
Mexico and has a tanned skintone, straight, black rooted hair and brown eyes.
She has a regular Barbie body with the jointed elbow "chopchop" arms. Ana
came in all three GG versions.

Drew The Fashion Fever series introduced a hole bunch of new friends - or returning friends from other series. Hard to tell. Probably just a name revolving as usual. Names has been coming and going and changed characters all over the place forever. Drew is one of them. The first Drew doll was made with the GG Tori face so we may consider this a new friend. The Fashion Fever Drew most often has red hair in different shades and freckles on and off.

|
Courtney Courtney is another name reuse. Or she changed looks. This Lara faced Courtney was sold alongside Drew above. SHe has dark brown, almost black hair with red dark highlights and blue eyes.
|
|
Tia The first time we met Tia, in the Fashion Fever series, she was made with the Lara face. Tia has been sold in three versions, with three different faces, of one either with Teen Skipper's face or Lara's. They are similar and may be hard to tell apart.

|
Fallon One of the 12 Dancing Princesses was made with the Lara sculpt, Fallon. She has golden blonde hair to olive green eyes. As all the other grown sisters, she has a regular BBB (Belly Button Body) with ballerina arms and a crown attached ontop of her head. I just (Dec '16) learned she came in a dfferent skin tone in Asia, so not just Ashlyn then!

Raquelle The Barbie Diaries was an animated movie, released on DVD and the characters "came to life" as dolls. Three "new" friends were introduced and one was Raquelle. This is the only Raquelle made with this face. Later versions have the Summer face and is a totally different character. Here, Raquelle has red hair in a honey blonde tone - and of course Lara's face.
|
|
Summer During the hideous hobbit body era, Summer was made with the Lara sculpt. A blownup version of Lara. BHS. Big Head Syndrom - or Balloon Head Syndrome if you will. Weird with a big head and small body. Oh well... It didn't last long. At least not the body part.
|
|
Teresa Teresa got a new look when the Top Model series was released. Up to now she has been seen with her own face from 1990 but now she was seen "wearing" the Lara sculpt. Teresa had black hair in all three versions and of course the Model Muse body.
|
|
Barbie Basics Model No 02 Model No 02 was made with the Lare face and her skintone changed through the collections. She was white in her little black sheath in Collection 001, black as a Target Red Collection Jeans girl and a super tanned redhead (how does that match up?) as a swim suit model in Collection 003.
|
|
Barbie Lara faced Barbie has been made in a huge variation of skintones and hair colors. High end collector dolls and Pink Label boxed dolls. In all shapes and variations - and many of them. She is a favorite among Mattel workers and collectors and has come a long way from the GG Lara and Ana days.
|
|
Black Canary The DC character Black Canary was made into a Barbie doll in 2008. The versatile Lara sculpt was used for her.
|
|
Twilight - Alice Alice from the Twilight series is the hardest of them to find - and mostly sought after. She is adorable with her short hair. As all the other Twilight vampire dolls, she is really white skinned and has the Cullen clan signature topaz colored eyes.
|
|
Angelica She really looks like Penčlope Cruz, painted like this. I bought her redressed (and probably rebodied) so I sadly don't have her pirate outfit. Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean.
|
|
Katrina Kaif One of Bollywood's most sought after actresses is Katrina Kaif. A gorgeous woman and a fantastic doll - in all versions of her. In this playline version she was made with the Lara sculpt.
|
|
Roberta The Rebelde TV series got their main characters made into dolls. They were three boys and three girls, of which one is Roberta. Dulce María played the role of Roberta Alexandra Maria Pardo Rey and the doll got the face of Lara.

|
Other sets where this face can be found are way too many to
mention all, but a few: Dolls of the World: Spain, Amazonia, Italy Cheerleader: University of Oklahoma AA |
