GOOD question Pat, I have heard several different sides to the story, Heard that Helena had paid off all outstanding debts owed on the ld Candi line, but have also heard just the opposite also, SO I really wonder if anyone knowsthe complete story for sure!!! I have heard just way too many negative things about Hamilton toys to really ever consider ordering anything from them!! I dont know Maybe circumstances have changd for them. I do know this that I sure am glad that INTEGRITY was the one to be puting out all these new Candi line cause I am afraid that if we waited fr Hamilton to put them out I think we would still be waiting and waiting and waiting! AND another good thing INtegrity seems t have fixed som of the probles that existed with he old Candi dolls, like the arms sticking like they do on the old dolls, BUT you know funy thing is I have gotten a bunch of the New Vintage Baggies and some of the New Betty Page baggies, these being sil put out by Hamilton and they all STILL have the arm sticking problem, I fix them when I use a Hamilton doll for one of my OOAK"S though, I take a SHARP exacto knife and cut off a SMALL amoun of the plastic UNDER the arm itself and it seems to ten fit the am socket MUCH BETTER and the arms swing more freely like they should in the first place.
