The Toy Soldier will not be done this year. The Manhattan Magic line has been renamed to Manhattan Moods and is the collection that is to contain the Wedding at St. Pat's and 5th Ave. Fortuny dolls. It was hoped that at least the 5th Ave. Fortuny doll from the line could be brought in by the end of the year but that is now up in the air. I also understand that there isn't a final decision yet on whether the Wedding at St. Pat's doll will be done after all. Apparently the dress is rather complicated for mass production and unless Jason comes up with a pattern he feels will live up to what was expected by collectors that can be done reasonably, her fate returns to "undecided" at the moment. Unless something changes, I don't think we will see Manhattan Moods until early 2002. No firm estimated release date is yet available.

<< Thanks for the news, Suzanne! Any news on the Toy Soldier Candi that was on Hamilton website? Any news on the Manhattan Magic dolls by Integrity? I assume they are the last of the New York Series-Wedding at St Patricks & Fifth Avenue Fortuny? Fingers crossed on that... Melissa >>
