Maybe Harriett will confirm, because I think she said she had a few of the fashion dolls, but I believe the dolls were 11.5 inches. When I started to rekindle my interest with my childhood Barbie collection, I started studying the new Barbies at the stores. Amidst the doll shelves at Ames is where I came across a couple of old inventory Imanis and Meneliks, and this was about 1995. Obviously, the dolls become extinct and it wasn't until a couple of years ago on another doll list, one of the past members on this List brought up a discussion about his Olmec fashion dolls. Through that collector and the moderator of that doll list I was apprised of the Olmec history.
That's something about the CandiChat that's one of its specialties: all the collectors on the List have knowledge of other dolls that expands our appreciation of how far Candi has come and the long-lived appeal ethnically diverse fashion dolls have with collectors.

What size fashion dolls did Olmec make?...11 12/" ? I had never heard of them before.
