Paul's Vintage Candi Fashion order just docked, and we are shipping him tomorrow. >> Someone should clue her in that the majority of collectors WILL NOT by from Paul so she can ship all she wants to him but some of us won't be buying !! I've received baggies from him with neck splits - we are supposed to forgive him for this since the price was so cheap !! Does that make any sense ? I don't want a doll with a neck split (and we all know his return policy - there is none!) even if it was given to me !! Also, I left his list 'cause they were constantly trashing Jason . When I used to chat with Jason I knew there was a problem with the Mikelman outfit after one of them posted a not so nice msg on Jason's msg board. However, Jason never gossiped about those two - it was the other way around. Personally, I think Paul David has a couple of screws loose !! From what I've heard about her, I think Helena Hamilton is a bit strange also. That new doll from Mikelman with the open mouth and smiley face was unbelievably ugly - I was really surprised since I used to think he was supposed to be a good artist. I love Jason's work, always have and Suzanne is the BEST !! Joan C.,NY Custom Fashion Dolls by Joan www.angelfire.com/biz3/ny2/index.html

Hi, Helena is running off at the mouth again. She isn't a nice person to begin with. She doesn't care about quality of her doll. All she wants is to mahe big money. Theres always 2 sides of a story. Helena is mixed up with PD and that means only trouble. We all know who is putting these ideas in her mind. We all know of the quality of the Hamilton Candi. It sucks.I'll say no more. Lets face it Integity doesn't need Hamilton its vice versa. With their playline& what they have planed they have winners without the burden of Putting up with all the BS. John

Kevin: Thank you for your concern regarding the continuation of Candi's produced by Integrity Toys. As you mentioned this is just a vicious rumor. I have brought to the attention the post on Vicky's board to Helena Hamilton who will be willing to make a statement to the contrary. We still have the licensing rights and will continue to manufacture Candi's. Again, we appreciate your kind concern and hope you continue to support all Candi's that are manufactured.

HI, I just happen to absolutely LOVE your new lines of dolls and ESPECIALLY love what you have accomplished with the CANDI line since you started with them!! I have heard a HORRIBLE RUMOR and would like to know if there is any corroborating evidence to this rumor, I have heard thru one or two dolls lists that HELENA HAMILTON is trying to revoke your licenseing agreement to manufacture the Candi Lines you have been doing!! and that the notorious MIKELMAN is somehow involved once again! IS there ANY TRUTH in this rumor at all, Are you not going to be doing any CANDI lines of dolls anymore??? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!! A GREATLY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!! Kevin Kilmer

Re: terrible rumours........ etc. - reply from Suzanne

Hi all! I've received lots of private messages regarding this situation. This subject line "terrible rumors" is appropriate. This should be treated as a vicious rumor. The unidentified author of the message doesn't indicate where the supposed announcement by Helena was made and seems to be the only one aware of such an announcement. I've talked to Integrity and it's "business as usual" with them as far as the licensing agreement goes. Whoever wrote that message doesn't seem to have taken into account that a licensing agreement is a legal document. It wouldn't just end with a simple announcement. There are legal notices that would have to be served and a time frame allowed for projects to be completed. There certainly isn't any need for anyone to get too upset over this at the moment. We've still got great Integrity Candis to look forward to! I also read a post on Vicky's board from this same individual announcing that he/she had been wondering if the Adele & Veronique dolls had been intended to replace Candi. I can attest to the fact that these dolls were in the works long before the possibility of a licensing agreement with Hamilton Toys ever existed. It has always been Jason's intent to do his own line of dolls but the real time opportunity to do so wasn't there, until he became affiliated with Integrity. Adele & Veronique are the fruition of Jason's dream and have never in any way been intended to replace any 11.5" fashion doll. They will stand on their own merit as being wonderful and collectible. We collectors know there is room in a fashon doll collection for dolls from multiple manufacturers and artists. Suzanne http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/

Paul David
by Rene O'Brien 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Dear Ms. Hamilton, It has come to my attention that Paul David is spreading rumors about the demise of Integrity Candi dolls. I would like to see some clarification to this matter from you, if possible. I have been an avid collector of Candi, and was most pleased to see you join forces with Integrity to create new, lovely Candi dolls. Integrity has certainly done your doll justice, im my opinion, and has opened up more collectors to your Candi doll than ever before. I think that is obvious. http://www.xynadra.com/bbs/dolls/messages/153682.html If the rumor is true, then sadly, I will not be buying any more Candis, as I find the Mikelman paints too harsh and usually making the doll look gaudy. Also I am sad to see Paul David market your dolls in such a way that they quickly lose market value, for example, I had purchased the Bettie Page dolls at retail and he now has them for $24. Do we really want to see Candi as a cheap, play doll like his Charice doll? Thank you for your time, and I hope that you will be able to shed some light to this matter. I just think that your concept/creation deserves a better future. Sincerely, Rene O'Brien p.s. I am forwarding this also to Candi chat, of which i am a part of. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
