**********************

We know many have been following the Bald Barbie topic.  This trending topic has received nationwide attention, and it was reported that Mattel will be making the doll.  We have asked for official word and when we receive information, will be sure to post.  This is the latest information we have seen,


March 27, 2012

Just a few tidbits of things to be on the lookout in the 2012 Barbie line:  There will be another Silkstone Francie; one version a Platinum No Bangs with kitten and another a AA Silkstone Francie.  We do not have confirmation which one of these will be a bc.com exclusive, but dealers will be able to offer one of these to customers.

There will be one more doll in the Twilight series and just one doll from the Hunger Games. 

An "over the top" Bob Mackie doll will be available year end.  Midge will be celebrating her big 50 next year and Mattel has something special planned!  There will be more DOW in the works with Hawaii being one of the new dolls for next year.  Mod repros are a big hit with collectors and are being considered as part of the 2013 line. 

Silkstone Fans:  All five dolls have been sneaked (we are still waiting for official Mattel photos of the fiery redhead in the yellow gown). 

For those Bill Greening Fans the next in the Galaxy Series will be called Empress of the Aliens, available only on bc.com (sorry).  She will be out the end of June. 

AUCTION BOOKS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE MAILED THE FIRST WEEK IN APRIL.  We will post when they are in the mail.  We are very excited for you to see the book as we feel this is our best auction ever!  Need to order a book?  It is not to late, hop on over to Sandi Holder's Doll Attic - World Famous Auction and place your order now.
