Forever is the beautiful, original Veronique sculpt on an FR2 body. The gown is a duplicate in a different color of the Tenth Anniversary W Club luncheon surprise doll Evermore. So we will have an Evermore and a Forever and that's a good thing because there was a quite an uproar over the announcement of the discontinuance of Vanessa's and Veronique's sculpt.
I believe this doll is meant to channel or reimagine the original Mauve Absolue seen in the 3 images that follow. Forever is very pretty but really doesn't come close to the original.
I think it sucks that it's a lottery. All W Club members should be able to get one if they want it.

@Wenchie: The lottery feeds a buying fever. More people give it a try. They are even offering a payment plan on this doll in order to sell more!
ReplyDeleteShe is pretty. Her face looks close to some Veros we have come to love in the past. I think Lotteries are good. It creates buzz. I like buzz. :D
ReplyDeleteThis will be the first Veronique I am wanting for my collection! I like th Fr2 version better than the historical versions.
ReplyDeleteIT should continue to release special edition Vanessa & Veronique releases.
I really think Forever is the prettier doll.
ReplyDeleteTerri, I think you were exceptionally lucky with the lotteries. I have been a member since 2007 and have never won a lottery where the doll was in high demand unless Pewter counts.
These dolls are getting pretty pricey. For those of us who can't get them, I shudder to think what the secondary market is going to look like.
ReplyDeleteThis lottery edition is 700 so lots of dolls - usually lotteries have a much smaller size - 300 or less dolls.
ReplyDeleteShe looks more like a re-edition of Vero Camera Lights Action - and not a good one at that.
