I'd personally like to see more ethnicity & more authentic ethnicity in the 11 1/2" dolls. Not so much repeat stuff like Rapunzel & Doctor Barbie, etc. And not so much really "flash" stuff with beading, etc. Too expensive! And that new Marilyn doll is TERRIBLE... Try some new things like the Addams Family & Munsters were. Enough Gone With the Winds & Wizard of Oz, etc... Melissa
Are there any of you on the List who might like to hazard any guesses what you think doll makers might be trying to do to get collectors eager to
buy,
again? Do you think larger dolls are the wave of the future or do you
think
the larger dolls may be proving to be a hazard to a doll company's bottom line? How do you think 11.5" dolls will have to be marketed to consumers
to
stay competitive, given the huge selection of this size doll? Regards,
