Hi, Group,
I wonder if Mikelman didn't make the implied accusation for Ms Hamilton. In Catalog 184 he has two pictures with two dolls facing and side on. The first caption reads:
Integrity's new Giselle, is she a knock off of the new Hispanic Candi mold? You decide. Hispanic Candi on the left, Giselle on right
The second caption reads:
Helena Hamilton, owner of the Candi registered trademark says the Candi trademark has been revoked from Integrity Toys.
Now, while I may be new to this issue,(I started collecting Candi in September 2002, and am now just collecting Integrity's wonderful girls and others of Jason Wu's works,) I find the whole thing too bitchy for my tastes. If I wanted soap opera I would watch one.
If Ms hamilton has a real issue, let her react legally: SUE. If not, I hope she keeps her rancid gossip off of our doll doscussion pages.
