Most people do not know the dolls existed, The toy manufacturers who were commissioned to make them may no longer be in business. SV clothing is still on the market. I am not sure about Jordache. Perhaps you could contact the SV people to see if information about the dolls and clothing products is still available in their archives. Good luck in your search.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-45330910003079253702012-08-18T16:37:37.560-05:002012-08-18T16:37:37.560-05:00I wish I could find a good website with info about...I wish I could find a good website with info about this doll line plus the Jordache doll line. I've been trying for a while to collect all the info I can find on these dolls and fashions but sometimes I just find pictures with no stock number.<br /><br />Anyway love them.

His face is a softer rubbery material that has become oily from the chemical breakdown of materials used.

He does not at all look AA except for his complexion, but I think that's why I like him. I would love to see your dollar store doll and find one for myself, just because he's unusual. I believe <a href="http://phillycollector.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">D7ana</a> has or had a similar dark-skinned male, too.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-40984812090028546902012-06-16T08:01:46.019-05:002012-06-16T08:01:46.019-05:00Thanks, Georgia Girl!

Jeans were always too stiff to allow me the full range of motion. I did have a pair of Guess jeans once, though.<br /><br />Like Roxanne I have a dollar store male who is even less convincing as an African American so I named him Vignesh. He's a software engineer from Guyana. If I could just find an upgrade body for him I could do a fun Diwali story about him.limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-49559514810697984512012-06-16T05:55:01.854-05:002012-06-16T05:55:01.854-05:00I have seen this doll come up on ebay but haven...I have seen this doll come up on ebay but haven't been fully tempted to buy them.

It's so funny that he's supposed to be black. He's not the worst that I've seen, though. I think that my brown dollar store doll with the pompadour hairstyle is worse than this.<br /><br />I have no recollection of Sergio Valente jeans, so thanks for linking to the commercial. I do remember Jordache jeans, and I seem to remember that even as a pre-teen, I had too much booty for those jeans. If they fit on my waist, they were too tight on my butt; if they fit my butt, they were way too big on my waist. I had a couple of pairs of Braxton jeans, though, even though it was a tight squeeze on my butt.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-73049833391350379422012-06-15T22:57:28.312-05:002012-06-15T22:57:28.312-05:00Those are cool dolls.
