Worth His Weight in Gold?
He is cute and the promotional pictures of him wearing sunglasses are very cool.
The entire issue of skyrocketing secondary market prices is so common, it's practically not even worth commenting on. I remember when Mattel's platinum Cher was released. That piece of vinyl immediately became worth $500. to those who were not lucky enough to grab one before they sold out.
There's still plenty of money out there - it's just pooled amongst way fewer people than previously.
Crafting Things From the Stuff Around You
Watch this adorable 2 minute video that shows a product called makedo. It looks like so much fun. The creations may not be up to the standards of our fancy dolls but if you have children, it will surely keep them busy and away from the boob tube. You can make a doll house out of doll boxes with the connectors.

Farrah Fawcett Doll
This long-awaited doll will be available on 7/1/2011 at the retail price of $34.95. It is a Black Label designed by Bill Greening.
Here is the descriptive text from BC.Com:
It's definitely a doll that should stay boxed. I was a fan of this actress but not of the doll. I am looking forward to seeing it in person although these do look like production images. If any celebrity doll was ever a caricature, this one surely is.
Here is the descriptive text from BC.Com:
Her swimsuit was red, her smile was spectacular, and her hairstyle made history. Inspired by the best-selling 1976 poster, this fabulous Farrah Fawcett doll recreates each of the essential elements that caused an instant sensation. Permanently posed on a striped blanket inspired by the original, she features a brand new body mold, and a face sculpt that perfectly captures her blue eyes and fabulous hair. She's a wonderful tribute to the all American girl who became a star in bare feet and a bathing suit!
