Scalloped-Edged Shoes ID Guide |
Scalloped-edged pumps came exclusively with second year adult female dolls and fashions. They came in three styles: metallic, translucent and opaque, the latter being the most common and difficult to ID. On top of that, there are also thin edged shoes with wider heels (turn them upside down to see the heels difference) or thick edged shoes with skinnier heels. Like the sandals and straight-edged shoes, it's not enough to know the different colours; there are also different variations of thickness having to do with the H numbers printed on the boxes of the fashions and dolls. Since the scalloped-edged shoes were for the second year only, there are no year-related differences among them, and the thickness differences seem to correspond only to different fashions, not variations within the same fashion. |
Metallic There are three different shades of metallic scalloped-edged shoes. They were exclusive to the Glitter 'n Gold line. |
Silver Only came with | |
Pale Gold Only came with |

Yellow Gold Came with |
Translucent Only two dolls got this style of shoe. Had the line continued in 1988, there probably would have been more of them made available; they are shown in the 1988 Pre-Toy Fair Hasbro catalogue. |
Orange Only came with |
|
Pink Only came with |
Opaque Try not to get lost in the pinks! There are minute colour differences between each shade though maybe not readily apparent from the photos. Luckily, the thickness of shoes can vary as well, so be sure to check for that, as well as colour to match your shoes properly. |
Pink (Dark) And so the bane of many collectors, the pink scalloped-edged shoes. Unfortunately, it's not very easy at all to identify these unless you have several shades that you can compare with. Nevertheless, I shall attempt it. To the left/below 6 are that are easiest (relatively speaking) to ID, as they are fairly distinct from each other in person, if not online. Generally going from darkest to lightest.
