Who is Heidi Ott, or what?

Heidi Ott Dolls is a brand of high quality 1/12th scale (dollhouse) doll. They can be redressed. The adult dollhouse dolls (both male and female) are made of 34 body parts which are manufactured in Germany, then assembled, and ultra-sonically welded together and hand finished in Switzerland. The body has 14 movable joints, the heads are hand-painted and some have mohair wigs. The elderly dolls have a soft cloth pose-able body instead. Other outfits are sold separately.

They are designed by mother and son tag team of Heidi Ott and Karl Ott Jr. Heidi Ott has also made bigger dolls, usually children dolls with a rustic country feel.

Kiss Goodbye


They, too, like most Michael and Melinda I have seen (err...I have seen more  Michael's without their Melinda's), will be parted.

I don't know which one is better, the 1st pic or the one below, so I'm posting them both. The 1st pic was edited using Paint.NET to give that vintage vibe that I think suits the dolls but I love the bright green from the second pic (unedited except for the watermark).

Audrey's Dilemma


Erica totally feels less matronly with her new hair. With her signature slight, she tries to convince Audrey to change her hairstyle. Audrey realizes that she really can't wear a lot of dresses with her hair and a funny tiara. Woman can't live on gown alone but Audrey feels she'll lose her identity.

What should she do (hairdo)?

I think I read somewhere (I forgot where) that ONLY the knees will be articulated, like the 2010 Harley Davidson Barbie. Yay!
