Hi Pat,
You sound like you know alot about the jointed dolls - at least, more than me. I am not familiar with the Tonner dolls as I only collect Barbie, Candy and friends. I had forgotten about the "jointed" knees on Veronique and Adele! I don't know if I am going to like that look or not. They are only jointed as the knee. The new Aria and friends are jointed at the wrists which should be interesting to see. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

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,
