UPDATE: Opened the box for Faith and Hope Child Doll today. Very enamored with face, the coloring and expression. Head can bow, and the eyes are very sparkly when lit well. It's a very beautiful sculpt and sits rather than stands. You would want to get something to hold her up for that display pose. The small doll has Velcro on the dress and the larger doll' s dress has a zipper that can go past the red velvet so both can easily be changed. The wavy hair, long and very full, is beautiful even right after be taken out of the braid style for both dolls. Recommend for those who love dolls designed for dress up and hair. Still from a lover of dolls 5 stars but marketing needs to be fined tuned as detailed on my first earlier review.

Wondering why a custom dress collectible (only a 1000) if there is another doll with a similar outfit, Adora "Ring around the poises"? Diane Bucki is an artist listed on the Paradise Galleries artist page and sculpted Faith. So you have an artist commissioned at two companies with 2 dolls that have the same dress. A uninformed and normal buyer might think they are getting a doll you could not find anywhere else, a gift wish by many for a special occasion. Again let people know what kind of doll it is because there was some kind of collaboration there at the two companies Paradise Galleries by the Charisma Brand and Ashton Drake Galleries sold by Bradford Exchange.

Again not happy for the description of this doll for novice collectors. There is an earlier 2010 Me and My Dolly by Linda Rick and Diane Bucki that includes the same exact cloth doll and the 32 vinyl doll looks very similar to this one. Perhaps not so individual like the babies sold by Ashton Drake. Not very encouraging to those who do not know past dolls but still expect such information at time of purchase. Also just saw the dress on an American Girl doll seen in about a minute into a youtube video,

MomLuvsAGdolls2. The video mentions that it also came in a size for a 5 year old.
There should be some kind of oversight for marketing so customers don't waste time on something that isn't unique at all. Even a Barbie doll has more specialization because their dresses are made for them. What a waste for a beautiful doll.
Recommend the Toy Shoppe Richmond Va online to find more of the magic of a unique craft collectible.
