A few minutes past 1:00 PM EST Superdoll posted Solitaire, their first vinyl Sybarite, for sale on their website. The edition of 75 was sold out in less than 5 minutes.
These are the photos:
I swear I wasn't going to go for her. I'm very happy with my existing resin Sybs and similar 16" dolls. I knew she would be ridiculously expensive for a vinyl doll but after a moment's hesitation, I clicked the dreaded button.
Here is the description, copied directly from the post, that accompanied the doll:
After years in development we are delighted to present
our ALL NEW Vinyl formula. version T-5 sample.
the DEBUT Generation_X
Clone: 1000 Venus d'Royce
*please note different monitors may show colours differently.
Ginger and marshmallow coloured eyes, zef brows in rust and charcoal with shadow of deep red and muted blacks. Lids in icy translucent white. Lips the colour of blood.
Blonde wig bearing hand rooted centre parting, in a 'bedhead' state with backstage Queen of Hearts playing card set.
2 piece 'shrunken' suit consists amazing miniature tailoring with concealed shoulder pads and pocket kerchief. Pocket flap detail and functioning centre front buttons. 3 button detail to jacket cuffs. Trousers have beltloops, working front slash pockets and bum welts on back.
Further accessories include 'patent' belt, 'patent' B*TCH elongated purse with gold foil interior and the cutest hugest hot pink 'fur' pompom ever!
The piece d'resistance of course is her huge double baguette pillow cut ring that gleams like a solitaire rock in the midnight sky or is it the slither of velvet spot netting she has in her purse?
'Patent' strappy stiletto sandles with the highest heels ever on a sYbarite (sans platform)
Necklace and cuff set in silver 'leather' and chained bead detail.
and of course she comes with the following standard:
-manic_cure hands (see booklet for hand change instructions)
-booklet
-stand
ED:75
In stock and ready to be delivered
Price: £274.00
She's got an intense, angry look about her. The wig? We'll see. I do hope all Sybarite clothes will fit and that the quality is top notch.
Cost breakdown:
Doll £274.00 = $421.15
Postage £39.50 = $ 60.72 (Ridiculous for a vinyl doll unless she gets here in two days.)
Total £313.50 = $481.87
Do you have any thoughts on why Superdoll
seemingly has gone backwards in their production of dolls from beautiful resin to ordinary vinyl?
