Raisa Veikkola and Frida Alvinzi are the creators of the Little Theatre of Dolls, producing puppets and their environments out of doll parts and found objects which not only convey their own stories but are completely immersed within a warm, pink hued, lavendar scented nostalgia (not that I've ever smelt them - just as guess!)…

A lot of doll makers, that I had the pleasure to talk to, doesn’t know how to take that step into selling their creations. And I get why. Internet nowadays is bursting with artists, crafters and creators offering their incredible work. But I’m a strong believer that every one of us has a small corner to do the same. So today, let’s talk about four places where you can sell your dolls and build an audience even if you’re just starting out.
During the last decades some SL Skippers were found which differ from the SL dolls sold in 1964 and 1965. These Skippers are often being referred to as “Sample dolls” or "Prototypes" I call them “Test-market” dolls, because they definitely were neither Sample dolls nor Prototypes. They came in the regular boxes and had the basic hair colors. A very small number was sold as "Dressed Dolls" (pls. see chapter "Dressed Doll Boxes). Doll markings: Skipper © 1963 Mattel, Inc. These dolls are much rarer than the later Skipper dolls, but not as rare as they would be if they indeed were sample dolls, and for sure they aren't prototypes. Without much doubt though these dolls were the first Skipper dolls ever produced in small numbers. For a long time it was assumed, that they were handed out to Mattel employees only, prior to mass production. This must have been in 1963. But some of them definitely were also sold in stores to the public - in the same box and with the same accessories like the regular issue. I once met a German lady who showed me her Test Market doll and told me that her father got her from the New York Toy Fair in 1963. I couldn't find any proof for this though. In the meantime, I talked to another original owner of a Test Market doll who also thinks she got her doll in 1963. In the “Miller’s” Magazine (October/November 1994)[1] there's an article in which author states that she had seen a photograph of a Skipper prototype doll with the same leg mold and no marking on the feet. From the time Barbie was introduced, Mattel was interested in finding out more about what little girls liked about their dolls and how they expected them to look. In 1959 for example, the company published a newspaper for members of the Barbie Fan Club to join the Barbie Advisory Panel. The letter of the Barbie Advisory Panel included a questionnaire of several pages asking the little girls questions like how many Barbie dolls they owned, whether they would like a a boyfriend doll for Barbie and what they thought of Barbie’s hair[2]. In the letter enclosed it says that some members of the Barbie Fan Club had been selected to become members of the Barbie Advisory Panel. And that Mattel, the creators of Barbie, wanted their advice on future plans for Barbie, because the members of the Fan Club were the people Mattel wanted most to please’[3]. Almost certainly Mattel did some market research on Skipper dolls as well before mass producing them. Maybe the girls interviewed found the very first issue too plump, and found that their legs were too short and looked chubby due to the wide stance. So the legs were altered before mass production. What differentiates the “Test Market Skippers” from the regular Skipper dolls? The legs of the Test Market Skippers are 0.2 inches shorter than the rest of their body and the body/legs of the regular Skipper dolls. Their legs are made of a different material (rougher and not as shiny, supposedly resin) and have a wider stance. Their feet have a slight incline and the JAPAN marking on the right foot is written from toe to heel. Additionally, one or (most of the times) two legs have markings on the inner part of their thighs (one or two digits and one or two letters). Test Market Skippers were found with shorter bangs as well as with bangs the same lenght like the ones of the regular dolls. They have two rows of bangs – instead of one like most Skipper dolls - but there are some regular Skipper dolls with two rows of bangs also. Some production issue dolls even have three or four rows of rooted bangs. Their hair of the TM dolls is made of a different fiber and looks more natural than the hair of the later dolls. Test Market Skipper’s heads don't have markings on the inner rim (the other Skipper dolls do, please go to the chapter “Head Markings” for further information). Test Market Skipper dolls weigh less than regular Skipper dolls.

Have you ever been really excited to pick up an action figure or collectible doll only to look at the face and go, "meh?" (Except for that Tom Hiddleston/Loki doll, good god.) While the creators of these figures usually spend a lot of time coming up with something that looks similar to the actor who played the part, they've got nothing on Noel Cruz. He painstakingly repaints the faces of some already pricey dolls (Hot Toys, Tonner, etc.) to give them the realistic look we all wanted in the first place. If you like what you see, you can try and commission one from him but prepare yourself - 12 inch dolls start at $1000. He does a lot of pop-culture work but take a look at what he's done with the characters from Harry Potter, Twilight, The Lord of the Rings, and more. (via Jezebel)
