003 Andie

Andie is one of twelve dudettes.

In numerical order, she is the fist dudette.  In release order, she is the fourth.  Laverne, Laura, and Yoko all came out before Andie.  Natalie actually came out at the same time as Andie -- both in Crew 10.

Andie is a "lead singer in a ska band."  Considering her release in 2002, this makes her a relevant parody of Gwen Stefani, the lead singer of No Doubt.  This ska-rock band formed in 1986 and became massively popular by the late 90s.  While Stefani has gone on to have a lucrative solo career in pop music, she is still considered the vocalist for No Doubt whenever they decide to write albums or go on tour.

Anyway, Andie is also the dudette with the most variants.  There are five versions total.  The blond is the regular single-pack version.  The one with red (orange) hair came in a 3-pack.  The one with blue hair came in the Hot Feet series.  Then there is one with green hair and one with pink hair which were single pack variants.
