This doll is hot today, and the original can command a very hefty price tag. But for those of you who don't have a wallet the size of Bill Gates :) cheer up - 12 of these dolls are being replicated by Hasbro (they bought Kenner from Tonka Toy and now own the licensing rights to their dolls) and are offered through Ashton-Drake Galleries starting in Nov. 2003 I believe. Takara of Japan also offered these dolls but they were not exported to the USA. So try a search at online auctions for Takara - Blythe dolls. Good Luck to you!
