Hi, Karla, Yes, I collect Integrity dolls from Playline to Candi to Fashion Royalty. I have some really old ones, some of the Mikelman ones, and of course, several generations of Jason Wu ones. I may have almost as many Integrity dolls as I do Mattel. Well, maybe... Melissa
Hi Melissa,
Boy do I agree with you. I bought one Ruby Birthstone Barbie for $24.99
and
had put some on layaway but cancelled it - I can buy a Veronique for $26
to
$29!!!! And look at the quality!
Do you collect the Integrity Line?
Karla
Hi Kathy & all! You really must be in the "boonies". Even my Walmart has only had about
one
each of the Birthstone dolls & I haven't seen Jan-Apr yet nor have I
seen
any AA ones. For $25, I haven't been impressed enough to buy any of
them.
Topaz was the prettiest, but it's not mine. Turquoise is mine, but I'm
not
really fond of that one either. I'll save my money for Integrity dolls, too... Melissa
Hi all, I have heard that the Jan thru April are out. My Walmart is hardly getting ANY of them in. I think they get two of each one. I love in a
town
of 160,000 people, so you can be sure, if you are not standing there
when
they put them out, you won't get them. I was going to pick up the
April
one for my B-day, but I have yet to see them. You can order them off
the
Walmart web site, but by the time you add postage, I think they are a little pricey. ( for what they are) I am sooo cheap. LOL
Some people are also finding the african american versions. I bet
some
of these are really pretty, but we never get AA dolls around here. I
am
getting on the really grouchy side anyway, as we never have shows, and
the
only doll shop for 100 miles is closing this month. I am NOT happy.
Guess
I will be buying a lot fewer dolls. Sigh. Wouldn't be so bad, but
you
can't trust Mattel not to change dolls from the prototypes, and I
won't
buy
them without seeing them in person. Since I can't do that, I guess I
won't
be buying much. More money for the Fashion Royalty dolls! Since I
don't
mind buying Integrity sight unseen.
