Made of hard plastic (ABS) body with a porcelain-like finish and vinyl head with rooted hair, the Gene doll stands 15 1/2" tall, has painted eyes and applied eyelashes. The first dolls had joints at the neck, shoulders, and hips. Later dolls added jointing at the knee, elbow, waist, and wrist for better pose-ability.
Fashions for Gene exemplify the wardrobe of a Hollywood film star; glamorous film costumes, lingerie, day and evening wear of the mid 20th century.
