Dear CandiChatters,
I apologize for sounding ignorant about this question, but in a recent ad I saw for Veronique and Adele, have the dolls always had jointing or is this new?
If the jointing is new, have any of you got these dolls and what do you think of upscale fashion dolls with more articulation? As some of you may recall, I was very excited about the CED dolls that were created by Doug James and Laura Meisner. I completely believed that with their pursuit of designing dolls with more flexibility, there would be something of a revolution in fashion doll manufacturing. Are you seeing a new trend towards jointing in fashion dolls or am I just overly optimistic?
Since I don't collect many dolls anymore, except ones with jointing--the more movement the merrier--I'm interested in whether my perceived belief there is a trend in jointing fashion dolls is here to stay. To my way of thinking, over the past few years, starting with the Simply Genes, then Madra, jointing started to become a feature of dolls. Are the Tonner Models jointed, too? How many other current fashion dolls, aside from Barbie, have multiple jointing? Hope to read some interesting discussion. Regards, Pat Brown
