Hi everyone!

I returned from Dallas late last night. I got to see the new Alex line and there are sure some gorgeous dolls! The dolls in the line with the new 18 points of articulation are great! I got such a kick out of even the toes being articulated so the foot can be positioned for a flat shoe or a heel. What a concept!

I had known that Jason was going to do a Basic line but the web designer slipped the pics up even before info and pricing to dealers has been distributed, which is why you aren't finding the dolls on sites, LOL. I can tell you that the projected pricing on them is only $11.99, :-)!!! They are actually on the way to the states now and should be arriving 1/29/03, along with Sublime Elegance. The dolls are also ultra limited. There are only 200 of each style, with the 2 Russians being limited to only 100 of each. With their low price point, I would recommend preordering. I'll get a listing of which doll uses which head mold out as soon as I receive the info. I haven't had the chance to adequately review the pics myself because I'm shipping preorders on the Weekender Gift Sets that arrived while I was gone. What great sets!

I've also learned that Fashion Royalty won't be arriving until February. The approximate arrival date in the country is 2/15/03, which should put them in dealers hands around the 23rd.
