I've checked into this and this is what Helena told me today. These sets aren't due to appear until September. They aren't Paul David Exclusives and will be available to other dealers. Artwork and ordering information packet is supposed to be on the way to me and other Candi dealers.
She told me that the 4 gift sets can be ordered by dealers with the new bent arm body, or the standard straight arm Candi body. I was also told that only the Hispanic was photographed in the sets in order to get artwork on them to dealers now. When the sets are mass produced the plan is to use 4 head molds, Hispanic, Israeli, Russian and Asian. I was told the plan is to use the Israeli in La Bella Salsa; Hispanic in Mint Julip; Asian in Vanilla Skies and Russian in Astor Suit.
Hope this helps.

<< I was wondering if these were special sets only put together for Paul David. Suzanne do you know what the scoop is on these new sets? From what I can see, they don't look near as nice as the International Candi's that just came out.
