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."
