| Vanessa, the first 40-inch African American ball-jointed doll by Monika Levenig |
As I am in the process of finding new homes for some of my larger dolls, Vanessa -- the first 40in/101.6cm African American, ball-jointed doll, by German artist, Monika Levenig, is the first to be placed up for adoption via eBay.
A Youtube video of the artist demonstrates Vanessa's pose-ability.
The auction includes a full description with a link to a slideshow of images.

your doll is so pretty. They are all so amazing. I can't imagine what your storage areas must look like. You should post pics.
ReplyDeleteWe bought a roller skating girl at a garage sale yesterday. She has on a 1990's neon ensemble and blades. Does this ring a bell for you? Leah has her outside right now, skating and bobbing her little mechanical head side to side. She's a real cutie. I hope I don't start wanting the larger dolls now...I'm already out of control with Fashion Dolls.
Thanks, Kristl. Vanessa is a pretty doll.
ReplyDeleteYour garage sale find sounds like Tyco's California Roller Blader. If the back of her neck is marked 1996 TYCO IND. INC./MADE IN CHINA, that's who she is.

1991 Tyco - but I am very impressed. You are THE authority. I used your description to look her up. That's the one! I knew you would know. Thanks for being so amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
ReplyDeleteThere are two versions. One is from 1991 and the other 1996. You have the earlier version -- same doll but different outfits.
Thanks for the compliment!
