The original Darla Daley ...Thank you, Limbe Dolls. The original Darla Daley has a very striking appearance to me. So much so that I found another one, NRFB, that I ordered yesterday. I think it was those fishnet stockings that enticed the order. They bring back 1970s memories. <br /><br />Muff - I do not own very many Integrity Toys dolls, basically because of the price, but when I find and see one at a price I am willing to pay, it comes to live here. <br /><br />I have had very few bad experiences with purchases on eBay. Probably so few that they can be counted on one hand with fingers left over. In eBay's defense, the seller who never sent the original Darla was not an eBay seller, or at least my purchase from her was not through eBay; it was through her website. <br /><br />Through eBay or websites, we have to be very careful with online purchases. This is why I use Paypal when Paypal is a payment method. If something goes wrong with the purchase, Paypal's dispute and claim process are available. Unfortunately, Paypal may not always side with the buyer, particularly if the seller can produce proof that the item was mailed.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-38093769188960925942012-10-07T00:06:28.888-05:002012-10-07T00:06:28.888-05:00I do not have any Integrity toys although I do loo...I do not have any Integrity toys although I do look at them in envy on Flickr.

I was worried about the flat feet before she arrived, but was surprised to find she can fit some wide-width high-heel shoes.<br /><br />Glad I got her too, finally. Hope you're able to find her. <br /><br />I saw her online yesterday reduced to $74.95 at <a href="http://www.gigisdolls.com/p-1432-twist-n-shout-darla-daley.aspx" rel="nofollow">GiGi's Dolls</a>. I have not done business with this merchant before, however.

It is a shame the original mold was destroyed.<br /><br />My initial purchase was through an Australian merchant's website. A US eBay seller is how I eventually found my lovely girl. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-50983183797481792682012-10-05T07:38:19.524-05:002012-10-05T07:38:19.524-05:00Wow, thanks for posting this!

I fell in love with her the first time I saw her photo.

I wonder the same about the original Adele since her sculpt has changed, drastically.<br /><br />I like the new Darla sculpt but the original is the one I fell in love with. It also reminds me of someone, which is why I wanted it, first at least. I may eventually buy one of the new Darlas later.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-86492581197425811442012-10-05T05:20:28.990-05:002012-10-05T05:20:28.990-05:00I am a big fan of Integrity's dolls of color. ...I am a big fan of Integrity's dolls of color. I am often disappointed that they do not seem to be more popular among AA collectors. Therefore, I am especially happy that your wrote about Darla. <br /><br />I love the original sculpt and wonder if one day she will become the equivalent of Black Francie. However, I like the the new sculpt as well. I own all of the Darlas produced so far. The main difference between the sculpts to me is that the newer sculpt looks more realistic.<br /><br />Congrats on your purchase. I hope you enjoy your Darla as much as I enjoy mine.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620993694216329919noreply@blogger.com
