We received Felicity Back from the hospital at the end of January and she has a plastic ring now. Which is better?

Most people here will say that the ties are better because it enables us to make our own fixes on the dolls. But, the rings do look better especially with the low cut shirts/ dresses where the ties show.

I like the ties better. I like being able to remove heads if I have to. And I like it out of tradition.

Now we're both concerned that when we buy Jess later this month she might not have strings, since we know some of the mattel dolls don't. Since we're buying from AGP is there anything we can do to make sure she has strings? Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">As Skittl said, you can look at the dolls in the boxes. My Jess was ordered through the site, and she has strings. I wouldn't be surprised if all Jess dolls do, even though it would make sense (with her shirt) for her to have the plastic ring.
