News for April 30, 2007:

We have just learned that the Baby Phat Barbie is no longer a pink label doll and she has a new name - Kimora Lee Simmons Barbie is now a GOLD Label doll, and the price has increased to a suggested retail of $59.95, our new adjusted price will be $49.00. Unfortunately we had to raise our price on this doll as Mattel raised the wholesale price to dealers so all preorders we have received to date will be adjusted. This doll is due in September, and still no official picture. As soon as we get pictures from Mattel we do update our site, so plese keep checking our site and also the News section of the site too.

Also, if you are interested in attending this year's Fashion royalty convention or the Gene convention, please visit these websites for more information:

• FR Convention

• Gene Convention

I will be attending both events and hope to see many of you there!!

Also we have preliminary information up on our site about the American BJD. Pricing is tenative. My understanding is that the resin dolls will be available this summer, and the vinyls release date is to be announced later.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
