Question and Answer Break

Before I continue my "Summer of Reorganization", I need to respond to some comments/questions that have been made to the previous few entries.  

1.  The East 59th Street body is different from all other Integrity bodies.  It is shorter than the FR2 and NuFace bodies with shorter arms and legs.   It has larger breasts than the FR2 and NuFace bodies but can share some tops, skirts, and dresses with FR2.   The East 59th Street body looks great in Barbie Silkstone clothing, Barbie Vintage clothing, older FR clothing, and some FR2 clothing.  The feet are like the older Dynamite Girl feet which could share shoes most Barbie dolls, The Industry, and all the older FR girls.  The newer FR2/Nuface shoes are usually too big.

2.  The W Club is open for memberships early in the calendar year for a few weeks.   You cannot join except during the membership period.  It's the best way to learn about doll releases but members are not allowed to share information with the general public.  Unfortunately, most collections sell out before the general public even realize dolls are available.  It is important to develop a good relationship with a dealer.  You can go to http://www.integritytoys.com and click on the link "Find A Dealer" to see a list.  You can ask to be put on their notification list for new lines.  Also, it's important to join different Fashion Royalty/Integrity Toys groups on Facebook and other social media.  There is usually a 24 - 48 hour sales window for W Club members and then everyone can share the information publicly.  

3.  Oomph Ayumi Nakamura was produced with a white scalp.

4.  Unfortunately, I don't have any way of helping anyone sell a particular doll or their collection.  My advice would be check doll boards and social media groups.   Due to its fee structure, E-bay is not the most desirable way to sell dolls, but it can be the most reliable.    I wish everyone great luck as they evaluate their own collections and figure out how to find the most joy in doll collecting.

I appreciate everyone's kind words and encouragement to keep this blog active.  I am hoping to put more effort into everything this summer as I get my collection to a place where I am at peace with it!
