I can't believe you got your Veronique. I am waiting and very anxious to get her. Your description of her sounds wonderful and I know without even seeing her that she screams perfection - Jason is wonderful. I can't believe the shoes are actually tied!
After reading your message I am even more excited - I can't wait to get her!! Have fun.

Hi Pat and all, I think the jointing was always intended on these dolls( the Adele and Veronique). They are only jointed at the knees. The shoulders have the same ball joint as the Candis and swing out nicely. I actually prefer the look of the bend knees, but I do realise there are long term problems with them. At least on these dolls they can sit down as long as you like. I did recieve my red head Veronique last week, and she is just wonderful. I am not a packaging freak, but the way Integrity has been boxing these dolls is just wonderful. The box is a slim one with a magnetic closure on the side. The inner box is wrapped in a layer of tissue that folds open to reveal the doll. The dolls is carefull tied in with just a bow ( no knots!) and everywhere the ribbon touches the doll
is
wrapped in plastic to avoid marks. The only part of the outfit that is affixed is the very bottom of the robe with four small stitches to keep it down. The outfit is stunning. I want a robe like that in MY size. Gorgeous white and grey satin robe. Very full and fully lined. Wonderful corset that really laces up the back and even has tiny gromets for the ribbon to pass through. Everything is immaculately finished. I didn't see a spare thread hanging anywhere. The shoes are actual ribbon ones with a fabric insole and come in their own tiny box. There is also a terrific new stand design. It has a heavy acrylic base with a slim metal rod and acrylic saddle for the doll to rest on. Very classy looking. The overall look of this doll just screams quality at me. And at the price point she is priced at, I am REALLY impressed. Jason has outdone himself with this. I urge all of you who haven't picked one of these up to give them a try. I think you will like them.

Dear CandiChatters,
I apologize for sounding ignorant about this question, but in a recent ad
I
saw for Veronique and Adele, have the dolls always had jointing or is
this
new?
If the jointing is new, have any of you got these dolls and what do you think of upscale fashion dolls with more articulation? As some of you
may
recall, I was very excited about the CED dolls that were created by Doug James and Laura Meisner. I completely believed that with their pursuit
of
designing dolls with more flexibility, there would be something of a revolution in fashion doll manufacturing. Are you seeing a new trend towards jointing in fashion dolls or am I just overly optimistic?
Since I don't collect many dolls anymore, except ones with jointing--the more movement the merrier--I'm interested in whether my perceived belief there is a trend in jointing fashion dolls is here to stay. To my way of thinking, over the past few years, starting with the Simply Genes, then Madra, jointing started to become a feature of dolls. Are the Tonner
Models
jointed, too? How many other current fashion dolls, aside from Barbie,
have
multiple jointing? Hope to read some interesting discussion. Regards,
