A few of you might know from my profile that among other things I collect vintage toys and celebrity and fashion dolls. These 12" MALE MODEL 'HOMME' dolls with names like Pierre by FASHION ROYALTY are released a few times a year, with extra outfits available, and even groovy bachelor furniture. They are then discontinued so the few hundred that are sold go up in value. The male dolls are mostly bought by adult gay men, and these ones in particular have surpassed 'Ken', because they look like miniature mannequins. I love the detail of the clothing, their tiny socks and underwear, watches and accessories. If you can't afford the clothes in real life, at least your dolls can. I have to separate my dolls a lot as there are always wild parties going on... with miniature bottles of Champagne disappearing fast. With a large wall cabinet of several hundred dolls, including rare vintage Barbie and Ken's (1960's-1970's), celebrity dolls by Mattel (Elizabeth Taylor, Lucille Ball, Elvis. James Dean, Twiggy, That Girl, Bewitched, Goldie Hawn, Julia, Joan Collins and Linda Evans from Dynasty, World Dolls (Elvis, Joan Collins, Liberace, Carol Channing), Madame Alexander dolls (Jackie Kennedy, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland, Twiggy) and many vintage Action figures and Super-heroes (Captain Action, Batman, The Green Hornet & Cato, Wonderwoman, James Bond, Pussy Galore, Pamela Anderson, Bettie Page, Maxwell Smart, Lady Penelope....the parties can get pretty wild. Thank goodness KEN comes in his own box. lol.
