Statue of Liberty Doll of the World plus collectible Ornament available

Ever wonder what happened to all those Statue of Liberty Barbies? Well, they are available again--from The Stature of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, according to this press release:

CELEBRATE 125 YEARS OF LIBERTY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WITH STATUE OF LIBERTY BARBIE®

Proceeds Benefit Projects at Liberty & Ellis Islands

New York, NY (November 30, 2011) — Are you trying desperately to find Statue of Liberty Barbie® to give this holiday season in honor of the Statue’s 125th birthday? You’re in luck! The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation has just announced it has refreshed its supply of Statue Barbies in their online gift shop at www.ellisisland.org. Not only does the Foundation offer Barbie donned in her patina-inspired gown and carrying a clutch inscribed with July 4, 1776 from the Statue’s tablet, but it pairs her with a handcrafted three-dimensional brass ornament, “Lady Liberty’s 125th.” The perfect gift for lovers of these two legendary ladies! Statue of Liberty Barbie® is offered for $39.99 and together with the 2011 collectible ornament is just $64.99, a savings of $5 if both were purchased separately. Proceeds help support the Foundation’s non-profit mission at the Statue and Ellis Island. Details at www.ellisisland.org.

New Momoko dolls available for pre-order

Two gorgeous new Momoko dolls are available for pre-order from your favorite Momoko dealer (I can recommend Doll-Collectible). Garnet (right) and Amethyst retail for 19000 JPY, though some dealers are giving a 5% discount for preorders.

Doll-Collectible is limiting the dolls to one (each) per customer, requiring full payment by December 1 (that's tomorrow), and reserving dolls on a first come, first come basis. Shipping is scheduled by the end of December.

I don't know about you, but I can imagine having a full twelve months of these gorgeous beauties on my display shelf! Eeek!

Finally, registration for the W Club will begin sometime in the middle of December. It will be open to everyone, not just current members. I believe the W Club is limited just by date, and not by the number of members, so don't delay in your registration, or you could miss out!

Holiday wish list?

Bayer Alice - photo property of Lati Doll.

Which dolls are on your holiday wish list this year? I have to confess, I have a Christmas doll and a birthday doll on their way to me already, so I can't complain.

Which dolls or outfits are on the top of your wish list this year? Are you giving any dolls as gifts? I am, but I can't post about them, due to some of the readers of this blog.

I also have to confess, as usual, I have to plan my ball-jointed doll gifts very early, so they will arrive in time for Christmas. And if you can believe it, both are Alice-themed.

The first is Lati Doll's Alice (it's the Grown-Up Bayer sculpt) shown above. She's a limited edition full-set tiny (only 16 cm tall), and she includes the little resin Cheshire kitty.

The second, from Peak's Woods, is the Lady Alice full-set. She is a YoSD size and adorable. I cannot wait. Of course, when the dolls arrive, I'll have to peek to make sure they have made it in one piece.

Maybe I should call them "Peek's Woods." Tee hee.
