If you go to Wu’s  Integrity Toys’ website, makers of his Fashion Royalty and other doll lines , you will find a complete gallery of photos of all his doll lines presented at last week’s Toy Fair.  www.integritytoys.com/gallery  There are the lower-cost Dynamite Girls, Fashion Royalty, the Hollywood Legends Josephine Parker and Lana Turner, and the new, ultra-articulated 16 inch dolls. You will also find Wu and Mel Odom’s collaboration on the new Gene Marshall doll and her friends with fantastic 1940’s wordrobe. This gallery is only available for a few weeks from Feb. 20, 2009.

At least in the past, Wu’s Fashion Royalty dolls have sold out immediately on Pre-Order on the day of their release which, I think, is today!!!!  My present dealer, Pat Feick, at www.patspotpourri.com begins taking pre-orders today, I think, although I don’t see the photos on her website yet. If I were you, I might choose the dolls I want from the Integrity Toys gallery (also accessed from http://www.fashionroyalty.com/news.html , click on Enter Presentation here), get their names, and email Pat, or another dealer (all dealers are listed on the Fashion Royalty website) with your interest immediately. Pat’s  email and other ordering info are on her website.

Sorry, non-doll lovers on my feed, but you cannot imagine what a frenzy ordering these dolls can be! They are highly limited editions, multi-ethnic,  spectacularly sculpted and dressed, and now that Jason Wu has entered the limelight even more, since Michelle Obama chose to wear his design for her Inaugural Ball gown, hard to predict what will happen with Jason’s doll line (as well as his human line, of course, at www.jasonwustudio.com ).

I offer this only as self-help and cannot guarantee any of this information. I am just a doll lover and long-time collector of Wu’s beautiful, multi-ethnic dolls. For my real work, I “give away” a multitude of self-help skills, for intimacy, conflict resolution, parenting, education, spirituality, creativity, innovation, Creative Edge Organization, and more as described below:
