Heidi Ott's Charlie a New Boy in Town

Charlie by Heidi Ott, made in Switzerland in 1997, recently arrived brand new, never removed from his original box.

While browsing eBay for Heidi Ott auctions, I stumbled upon this boy that I had seen recently in a photo shared by another happy collector who recently acquired him.  At that time and still now, I marveled at his face because he reminds me of my brother.  Lucky for me, the price was very reasonable and the auction was a buy it now; so I did just that. 

Charlie has been released from his box.

Charlie is from Heidi Otti's 1997 handmade "Little Ones" series.  He is 12 inches tall and has a natural-textured human hair wig, vinyl head, arms and legs, and a stuffed cloth body.  A small area of his upper arms and upper legs is stuffed cloth.

Charlie has hand-painted brown eyes and a beautifully sculpted face.

He is wearing a mushroom color genuine suede vest, a green and tan plaid hooded cotton jacket, red knit short sleeve shirt and dark green pants.  His feet are bare.

Charlie's red sleeveless shirt is worn underneath his green/tan/red plaid cloth hoodie.

He has a nonremovable handkerchief in the mock pocket of his suede vest.

Charlie is marked on back of his neck, "Swiss Design Heidi Ott."  He is a welcome addition to my collection and has now met the others that are here from this series.

Meeting the Others

Charlie met Tom #1 first.  Tom was purchased during the late 1990s shortly after he was released to the market.

Next Charlie met Leonie.  Leonie, also from the late 1990s, arrived in 2017.

8-inch Baby Harry was introduced to Charlie next.  

Finally, my other Tom and Saddie, who arrived with Tom #1 during the late 1990s, met Charlie.

 All the barefoot little ones joined together to take this final picture before returning to their separate areas of display or boxes.  Tom #1 and Saddie remain on display.  I do still have their original boxes.  Baby Harry returned to his original box.  Tom #2 (a gift from a doll friend) and Leonie are kept in Tom #2's box.  Charlie will probably remain in his original box, too, unless he desires to spend some time on the shelf with Tom #1 and Saddie.
