Remember, these are high-end collector dolls. Madame
Alexander has offered equally pricey dolls but without the
articulation.
Have any of you bought vintage Barbies and thought you were
making a sound purchase?
These are dolls that are comparable in quality and quantity to
museum pieces. If you'd pay $350 for a limited print, these dolls would be
an artist's print. There are one-of-a-kind artist's doll on ebay
that get bids for much more and evidently, these kinds of dolls do
sell. And fortunately, they are so limited. You pay extra for
that. If these were dolls Jason Wu were making, you'd be thinking,
wouldn't you?
To purchase Doug and Laura's dolls doesn't require masses
to want them, only the 300, worldwide. They are an investment, to say the
least, with no guarantees you'd ever see your money doubled should you sell them
on the secondary market. But most seasoned doll collectors, I think, have
learned that doll collecting is only about buying what you love. It's
next to impossible for us to ever part with anything, so we'd better love what
we buy. And dolls like these require a "Whole Lotta Love." Regards,
pat Brown
