I really enjoy seeing the pics of everyone's collections. I always take a minute to peek during breaks I take, even though I don't always have the time to post a response. Love the technology that allows us to do this! Thanks to all who post pics and even put up web sites we can visit!

Candi giftset
by Rene O'Brien 24 May '02

24 May '02

HI ya'll, Since we've been talkin about the new Candi gift Sets by Hamilton, I thought it might be of interest to you that theres quite a lot of discussion going on about these on Vicky's BBS. http://www.xynadra.com/bbs/barbie/messages/199427.html http://www.xynadra.com/bbs/barbie/messages/199355.html http://www.xynadra.com/bbs/barbie/messages/199350.html The general opinion on these are that they are complete rip-offs(like the older Retro Candi series) of exsisting Barbie dolls, in this case, the Silkstone. In fact, it looks like in the proto pics a lot of items came DIRECTLY from the Mattel sets w/ out any modification(ie. the shoes, and the purses and accessories). What baffles me is that Integrity is doing such an outstanding job of giving Candi a new image and I see what Hamilton/PD is doing is going to piss a lot of people off(and has already done so, it appears!)and in term turn A LOT of people away from Candi. This is quite the interesting subject. And also none of the Integrity dealers seem to associate themselves with the Hamilton lines. What are your thoughts on this? Is Candi going to fall back into old patterns? Rene __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com

Old Alyssa FS
by Mroczko 24 May '02

24 May '02

Hi All, Was at a garage sale yesterday, and picked up an older Alyssa ( dated 1996) still in the box. It is a Hair Highlights one. Shes comes in a pink metalic outfit, and has yellow and pink streaks in her hair, and lots of hair play toys. I was going to use her as a redo doll, but thought maybe someone would need her for their collection, so decided to check first. Her box is pretty trashed, but is still there. She is a really pretty doll. Would sell her for $10.00 plus shipping if anyone wants her. Can send pics if needed. Let me know if she needs to come live with anyone. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft.

Certainly Candi isn't going to fall back into old patterns ... Let's face it, even though we may have Helena to thank for the original candi (who liked her anyhow?), everything that we know and love about Candi was brought about by people other than Helena. I didn't mind the Retro fashions. I felt as though they were inspired by vintage Barbie fashions. Certainly vintage Barbie fashions are classic enough that we can draw inspiration from them, right? I think that knocking off a new concept is different that being inspired by something. Randall

Sharing some Candi....
by Elizabeth 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hi Everyone, I wanted to share Candi with you... Actually, I did something that probably most of you would cringe at, but I tried to straighten my Vintage Candi's bubble hair(I have never been fond of that style)...it didn't straighten completely, but I like it better. Here's a pic to share: http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/dolls4emma/bbblsilverfull.jpg Also...I finally got the new "Heat Wave" Janay. She's gorgeous! (I can hardly wait for the blonde version)...here's a couple of pics of her to share: Redressed in a FA(close-up): http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/dolls4emma/NEWjanay.jpg Extreme close-up: http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/dolls4emma/NEWjanayhead.jpg Isn't she lovely? Have a great night all!

Re: CandiChat - O.T. Lollipop Girls!
by SuzW397026＠aol.com 23 May '02

23 May '02

As an aside, I will be carrying the new 12" vinyl Lollipop Girls by Jan McLean. These whimsical creatures are adorable and I couldn't resist them, LOL! Special pre-order pricing is in effect, if any of you are considering them. I have been told that the first shipment due to arrive mid to late July will have decals with Jan McLean's signature on the boxes. Later issues aren't supposed to bear the signature. They are also not going to be carried in any major chains, at least for this year. I would assume that means they aren't closing the door to doing this somewhere down the road but the lady I spoke with didn't know for sure if an appearance in a major chain will ever take place. There are plans to do fashions and accessories in the future for these girls, too. I doubt we will see them before 2003 from what I was told but at least we know they are in the works. Here is the direct link to the Lollipop Girls on my site for those of you who would like to take a look: http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/lollipop.htm I am so glad that Jan McLean decided to do these mini vinyl versions of her larger, porcelain 25" & 26" Lollipops. If you haven't seen the larger versions, check out www.janmcleandolls.com If you've got the space, they are wonderful! Suzanne http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/

Hi Colin, If you read the message from Suzanne W, she stated that she had talkde to Helena and that the HIspanic doll was used only for the promo pics to get them out to dealers, I believe the sets wil be the hispanic, Israeli, Russian, asian, if I am right! TTYS Kevin

Re: New gift sets
by Mroczko 23 May '02

HI All, Finally got over the Mikelmans to look at the new sets. I would say that we won't see these sets produced as is, if Mattel gets a look at them! They look waaaay to much like the silkstone sets for them to sit still on this one. Cute outfits though, but at $50.00 a pop, I don't think I will bring many home. The accessory sets are cute, but pricey, esp the shoes. I mean $20.00 for 6 pairs of shoes? The little boxes are cute, but I definetely could do without those at the price. Will be interesting to see what happens on these. I think I too will stick with Integrity and Jason. Did everyone see the nice write up on them in the last Barbie Bazaar? Gorgeous pics of the new dolls. Kathy M. Frivolities Antiques Ft. Collins, CO
