Thanks, Pat, they're fabulous.  If they come with clothes, I can see myself getting one of these.

Dear CandiChatters,

Do you all recall way far back there was the announcement of new line of
glamour doll with larger proportions than the regular hour-glass-shaped
dolls? There had been a lot of discussion on this List about the dolls
because of the dolls' more realistic proportions to many of today's women.

Please take another look at the dolls because I think they are lovely. I'm
still not certain how the sculpts on the feet got resolved. That was a
concern for the creators a couple of years ago and unfortunately, the pics
on the website don't show the feet now. At the time, the feet didn't fit
delicately into a shoe. Not that feet are a big deal. Afterall, it's the
faces of the dolls that I find very appealing. And furthermore, feet on a
larger body don't always look like the foot of a waifish Chinese Empress,
anyway. If the pics are any indication, I find the facial sculpts and
screenings to also be very realistic of women's expressions. And the story
line of the dolls is a positive one, too.

It's exciting to consider who and what these dolls represent and I would
love to see these dolls take off. It's a bold concept these designers are
promoting, but one that's time should be here. It seems to me that women,
in general, are not built with ant-like bodies and it's about time dolls be
made to reflect there's more to a woman's beauty than an hour-glass figure
in a size 2 gown. Eesh, that bugs me...

Also, the original sculptress for the dolls was the same lady who did the
Star Wars dolls from that last 1999(?) episode (I didn't follow Star Wars
from the beginning so I wouldn't know now). But I do not know if the
project continued with that sculptress. Regards, pat Brown
