Thanks, Melissa, that does help. I'm interested in knowing how one acquires a prototype doll. I'm just curious, and not looking for one. Robin

As I understand it, a prototype is the original of a doll/outfit that is made by the designer. From there it is taken to production. Sometimes the makeup is changed a little bit for mass production or the fabric is a little different. It is definitely OOAK & therefore highly valued if you can get one. Most of the photos we see of Mattel dolls, etc are of the prototype HENCE they don't look quite the same when you see them on the shelf. Sometimes for the better; sometimes for the worse. Hope that helps some...Melissa June (or, someone else) would you educate me on what a prototype doll is? Are they special in some way, in terms of owning one? Thanks. (You guys have taught me heaps about dolls over the years.)Robin
Back to doll talk, do any of you have any prototype Candis and if so, which ones and how much did they cost you??
