A magnificent holiday trio of dolls from Superdoll!

Superdoll released an amazing trio of dolls just before the holiday season: The Swan Coronet - Noble, Law and Regent. One of the dolls is already out of stock (my favourite, Law, just before I could manage to gather the funds to get her, grrr). See them below and get one of the two remaining that you like here.

A vision in red and gold. Atop her head she wears her glittering beret dribbling with jewels and an organza bow. Platinum blunt bob with fringe diverted. Her face palette is that of rich tones of Ruby, with piercing Azure eyes, tip shaded cranberry brows and lids highlighted in 'gold'.
For this little 'family' get together of clones, she chose to go a little sporty. She wears a crimson zip up velvet track top and a matching crimson skirt bearing lace up front detail. Accents of gilt tulle and hip quilting give her the detail and the curves! Her waist cinched by a broad gold belt. Over her 'sweats' she wears a darling emperor yellow organza night gown with yellow hose and emperor yellow satin concealed platform court shoes.
As to her REGALIA.... she chose a short white 'ermine' plush cape lined in leopard print satin and a gorgeous bandeau of scarlet adorned with 'door knocker' lion heads.
The finishing touch, other than her leopard satin neck bow is of course... her presence.
What is her gift of advent we ask? 
This holiday she is most excited to receive a shard of lightning hand mirror.

Sybarite Solitaire - the first vinyl Syb - sold out in minutes!

As we mentioned in a previous post, the first vinyl Sybarite doll, Solitaire, went on sale on the 12th of February and sold out in minutes. The edition was 75 dolls, too small, and the price was £274.00. That, along with the desirability of the doll, can explain the vanishing act. I was mistaken to think she was an edition of 1000 - that was simply the clone number. Many collectors failed to get the doll, either trying to complete the purchase or finding out they had not bought the doll as they had completed a purchase after she had sold out.

The price, $423, is a bit high for a vinyl doll - except if you think that most Tonner vinyl dolls of the same size (but much lower quality and detail overall) sell for at least $200. I could not afford her at the moment so I did not even log on to see her when she came on sale. I am wondering why the low edition - it surely would help the price if they made more dolls. Maybe with future one. It seems that the vinyl Sybarites will be as rare and sought after as their resin sisters.


The description on the website was the following:
After years in development we are delighted to present our ALL NEW Vinyl formula. version T-5 sample, the DEBUT Generation_X Clone: 1000 Venus d'Royce
Ginger and marshmallow coloured eyes, brows in rust and charcoal with shadow of deep red and muted blacks. Lids in icy translucent white. Lips the colour of blood. Blonde wig bearing hand rooted centre parting, in a 'bedhead' state with backstage Queen of Hearts playing card set.
2 piece 'shrunken' suit consists amazing miniature tailoring with concealed shoulder pads and pocket kerchief. Pocket flap detail and functioning centre front buttons. 3 button detail to jacket cuffs. Trousers have belt loops, working front slash pockets and bum welts on back.


Further accessories include 'patent' belt, 'patent' B*TCH elongated purse with gold foil interior and the cutest hugest hot pink 'fur' pompom ever!
The piece de resistance of course is her huge double baguette pillow cut ring that gleams like a solitaire rock in the midnight sky or is it the slither of velvet spot netting she has in her purse?
'Patent' strappy stiletto sandals with the highest heels ever on a Sybarite (sans platform)


Necklace and cuff set in silver 'leather' and chained bead detail.
and of course she comes with the following standard:
-manic_cure hands (see booklet for hand change instructions)
-booklet
-stand

The doll looks amazing, even though I'd prefer a more thin layer of lipstick on her lips. The body and articulation look better than the resin dolls. Considering that Desmond and Charles were researching the quality and type of vinyl for quite some time, I think it will look and feel even more fabulous in real life. And the outfit and accessories rock of course.
Below is the video with stop motion animation of Solitaire that Superdolls released. Amazing.
