Sales on Integrity Dolls

I've asked this question about IT products previously: "Is it the dolls or the economy?" The reason for the question is that I collected Fashion Royalty during the years when there was never a sale. And for the past two years, there are always IT dolls on sale somewhere.

At Susan's Shop of Dolls alone, the following are on sale: (some of these links may no longer be active)

These are not dolls that have been out a long time except maybe for the Brides of Dracula. There are other doll shops that have IT dolls on sale as well. Is there a doll you wanted but didn't get last year? Do a Google search and get your best price or check out the link to Intergrity Toy's Dealer List:  http://integritytoys.com/page/dealers
Don't forget to take into consideration the cost of shipping! And if you were a member of the W Club, you may still have a coupon to use towards shipping or something off. I never used any of my club perks.

The Year in Dolls - A 2011 Montage

So many dolls; so little time.
I just spent a few fun hours going through the doll stuff  that passed through my doors this past year. A fair amount of what is pictured went back out the same doors after I got bored, traded, or decided to 'reinvest' the funds. Some of what arrived isn't pictured probably because it hasn't even been photographed yet.
The original image is 5000 pixels square at 300dpi. This one is very reduced but if you click on it a larger version will open. Can you identify everything? Can you find Waldo?


Let's Start 2012 by Featuring Glorious Repaints seen on Prego

There is a lot of glorious eye candy in the form of repainted dolls being posted today on Prego. Here are a few just from the first page.
First up by Nigel Chia:
Freeze Frame Avantguard and Spring Kissed respectively. Amazing, right?



Next, a Monster High repaint/redress by Freddy Tan:
Do you see her nails?

By Laurie Lenz:
"Always Playing Solitaire" Ellowyne Repaint.

By France Briere:
Silkstone Barbie.


From (the amazing) James in Florida:
Repainted Sybarite Geometry.
