Andrew is wonderful, he's been around for most of the time that I have been into dolls/miniatures/action figures and has always done intriguing and beautiful work. He even touched on the model horse world at one point. I have always loved his dolls and it's always something I would love to have in my collection. You just do you Andrew and keep making these stunning dolls, I have never understood the rigidity of doll collectors. I would be over the moon to have an Andrew Yang doll, of any size, in my collection, despite my dioramas being in 1:18th scale.
Beautiful interview ! I am an adult collector of dolls. Proudly adding this doll to my collection very soon. Looking forward to her new ideas and dolls. ✨💜✨💜👏🏽
Really enjoyed this get together doll chat. Thanks 😊
Thank you so much. Hope you get to see and enjoy the rest of our shows.
Brilliant interview!! ❤
This was a delightful interview! Thank you Doug, Tammy and Georgette. I adore my CED dolls to this date. They are so beautiful.
These remind me of the “niggerines-figurines” as my granny called them 😂, from Tales From The Hood .. absolutely obsessed with the craftsmanship of the dolls I can’t wait to get one 🥹!
OMG!!! They are SO LOVELY! Not just fabulously beautiful but I LOVE the family connections.
I have several of her fresh dolls !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ so happy for us !!!!
Mind blown! Such an inspirational episode. ❤🙏🏾
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year, Georgette!! Thank you for sharing enlightening stories In The Doll World.🤩
This is a treasure 🎉
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year 2024🎉🎊!!
I love your interviews they are so inspiring!
I've learned so much from the interviews and look forward to this year's guests.
🎊 Happy New Year 🎊
I’m hoping Jozef will be able to do a second collection of his lovely dolls. I only have one doll right now, but I am hoping to get another soon.
Love hearing this!!! Wonderful meeting like minded doll lovers. ❤
Question Who do you think will be the Fashion doll to fill the Robert Tonner gap
Thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate that. Hope you get to enjoy more of the shows as well.
Such an insightful conversation!
I'm here about to listen to this episode because as I was looking for a specific Tonner doll on ebay, I noticed 2 other dolls the seller had that I'd never seen before. I started searching deelply and found they are CED dolls. All new to me! I reali zed there are not a lot of these around and bought them both. My search led me here, and I am excited to find out more about this amazing designer!
I hope She will consider making a 3 3/4 O ring(gijoe style) line of Sun Man & other figures.🙏🏾
This was an amazing interview. So incredibly interesting. Mattel needs to bring Byron's creativity back. He is something special. Also, I have one of the Big Beautiful dolls in my collection. She's everything.
Oh thank you so much, yes this was definitely one of my fanngirl moments. You are right, about his creativity, it was a breath of fresh air to the Barbie doll line. Love him!! and thank you for loving our Big Beautiful Dolls!
