I have been looking for a Tonner/Effanbee Patsy for quite some time, years in fact, but they are pretty scarce, like hens teeth! When I have, on rare occasions, had the luck to find one, I haven't had the dolly funds available and when I have had the funds, there either hasn't been any available for me to purchase, or none that I loved enough to warrant spending the money on shipping from the USA. Until today . . . now there are two on their way. :)
Of course this all had to happen not long after I said the famous words
"I have no plans for any additions this year". Now we are only just a week into February and I've already purchased four new dolls.
-oOo-
The first little girl is a new 2013 Tonner/Effanbee Patsy Basic #5 with a black saran wig, hand-painted facial details, made from a combination of fine quality vinyl and hard plastic. She has a new Patsy head sculpt, 10″ bended knee child body in the cameo skin tone. Her lovely blue eyes are inset with applied eyelashes.
This Patsy is an open edition, dressed in pink and white polka dot top over bloomers with white lace trim and attached ribbon belt, white socks, hair bow and faux leather shoes.
The second one, is a new 2015
Lacy Summer Day Patsy also by Tonner/Effanbee. She has the Patsy head sculpt on an Ann Estelle body in the cameo skin tone. Her body is articulated at neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees, which means she's almost as good as a BJD at posing. A classic blonde saran wig adorns her head along with two pretty pink bows, she has blue inset eyes with applied eyelashes and is limited to 500 world.wide.
Lacy wears a white stripe cotton dress with cotton lace trim and embroidered heart on the bodice completed with a pink ribbon belt. She has pretty white lace socks, cotton undies and faux leather shoes. Her companion, a tan bunny (not shown) comes with her.
