Yes, I did have an Asian Mattel doll--I had trouble bonding with her though(looking back, I may have gotten one with thin hair) , and when my collection started growing, DH said he wouldn't mind if I sold her (she was a birthday gift from him), so I did--but later I wished I hadn't.

She went to someone who was giving her to her niece who was adopted from China, though, so I felt a little better. (But not much.)

And, after what others on the board have said about #4's hair, I thought I might see what some #4's look like in person, and perhaps buy a replacement doll.

Someone has a picture of their #4 in the new AGT embroidered party dress in their signature, and she looks just LOVELY in it! So, I'll take a look at some, and see.

I probably won't be able to make any final decisions until I'm actually there, but it's nice to have others' input in advance. So, thanks, everyone! [img]smile.gif[/img]
