All of my dolls except for two (Marisol and an Addy with a pm torso) are pre-mattel and all of them (including Marisol) have neckstrings. Mom and I have seen the neck rings (Our Addy and Sam were test dolls before Mattel bought the company) and we both detest them.

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!
