My book project:
The
very most of you may know the popular fashion doll made by Mattel
since 1959, but my
focus is on dolls that are less popular than her.
I collect so-called CLONES,
lookalikes and competitors. I have collected
informations
about such dolls during the last 6-7 years and with my books I want to
document a number of clones for the afterworld, because they are
yet poorly documented.
BOOK 1: Clones of the
US-market (first published in May 2013). BOOK
2: Clones of
the German & European Market (first published in November 2014). If you are interested in getting copies, please send me an email (go to: Contact).
My
books are written
bilingual (German/English), contain many color pictures and
short profiles of dolls and involved companies. Book 1 has 84
pages, features more than 60 dolls;
Book 2 has 120 pages and features about 90 dolls (females, males and
preteens).
Note: My books
do NOT
contain information about Mattel fashion dolls,
Bild Lilli or Bild Lilli clones, celebrity dolls, dolls that were made
before 1960 and after 1980, dolls that are made of another material
than plastic or vinyl and dolls that have another body type (than what
i regard as typical and classic fashion doll body). Also excluded are
dolls that are already documented, e.g. Sindy, Tammy or Tressy.
