Antique Inspiration: Doug James’ 1470 Collection Re-Creates Early Fashion Doll
Somewhere between 1912 and 1925, the Simon & Halbig company produced a 14.5-inch lady doll. She had a small number of head variations but was always on the same body, which was unusual for the period and a small sign of the changing times. This was basically a high-end play doll for children whose dolls usually consisted of babies, toddlers, and young children.

Curious Collector: 2004 UFDC Ginny Twins
Q: My mother was an avid doll collector, and so am I. When I inherited her collection, among the mini dolls was this souvenir set of 8-inch hard-plastic Ginny twins. They are absolutely adorable, and each comes with its own wooden rocking horse and a flyer regarding their theme. They use the traditional Ginny molds — I have many of the 1950s Ginny dolls in my collection. Can you tell me more about this special set and perhaps a value? I plan to keep them, but I’m curious.

Antonia Jenkins finds inspiration in nature
I started making dolls professionally to combine several passions of mine: 3D graphics, sculpting, and fantasy. I studied computer graphics in college, specifically modeling. A few years ago, I got a 3D printer and was able to bring my digital art into the real world.
