The articulation is important but if it does not accurately/adequately represent Copeland, they can keep it. <br /><br />Mattel will lose customers and merchants if they continue to release dolls in this manner. This particular doll is already on eBay in auction attempts for as much as $300. I knew many of the people buying were in it for profit. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-38352489670676999642015-12-08T08:53:44.984-06:002015-12-08T08:53:44.984-06:00Thank you AG Lanc.

They won't release details about a lot of dolls. There's no way I'm purchasing a Misty Copeland without knowing the articulation. No way I'm purchasing a Superman Barbie if it's not a Ken and part of the 2016 Justice League movie coming out as promised during ComiCon. If Mattel doesn't get it together ...they're going to loose a lot of customers.

They have also since removed the doll from their website. <br /><br />This must be a sign that I really do need to take a doll-buying hiatus until sometime next year. Will I be able to do it, is the question. The answer is yes if purchasing dolls will have my emotions up and down like this doll has done. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-57359381529798604232015-12-07T14:54:58.761-06:002015-12-07T14:54:58.761-06:00Oh my life!

I was happy about this version of Ava's doll being made available for a larger audience. <br />I am back after dinner and what do I found out: She is no longer available. It was one the first Barbie doll I have ever been really interested in the point of contemplating purchasing her. Never mind! I am glad you pre-ordered yours. I will stick to chubby dolls such the own I own. <br />I will appreciate reading your review about your new doll. And by the way as you said in your earlier post, since she will be home in 2016, it doesn't count as not being reasonable.
