Needless to say, I'd like to own one...but look at these effing prices!!!
Killecrankie, that much for a Barbie-sized doll??? It's not like Suzette is highly jointed like her Uneeda sisters Dollikin and Miss Dollikin. I own Miss Dollikin myself; she's east to find and inexpensive. My poor girl still needs a dress.
A redhead, of course. So what gives? I know the market was oversaturated with Miss Dollikin, hence why there's a glut of them on eBay and they're so inexpensive. Is Miss Suzette rare? Jenjoy notes that Miss Suzette was sold only at a store I've never heard of, W.T. Grant's, so I bet she is indeed rare. I guess that for now I'm just gonna have to look at Miss Suzette and covet, as I'm having to spend my money on X-rays and a back patio. Yep, we're putting in a small deck out back, and I can't wait to see how it looks!

I want one too!! I passed two up at a doll show a couple of years ago because they were $50!!! Am I an idiot or what?! I didn't think there was only one store that sold them, but I know they are a rarer doll. I also have a Dollikin, which is probably as close as I'll get to a Suzette. Of course, I've said that about other things too. You never know what will come along. At least you have that cool Sandy McCall!!
ReplyDeleteI do have him, yes! I need to move him back to Casa Pizarro eventually. I thought I'd move back to Casa del Luna eventually, but that's looking unlikely now.
DeleteAn interesting doll, the eye paint seems to have an almost Asian aesthetic. I know that dolls with an Asian look have their fans, so maybe that's part of the reason she's so expensive, along with the rarity.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about the aesthetic. That kinda makes sense.
DeleteCrazy pricing! I get it--I am coveting a large size Dollikin, and have hesitated because they, too, seem more rare and high-priced! Good luck--you never know when one will pop up!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the large Dollikin! Yes, I've had rare things fall into my lap before too!
