Bate and Switch!

Hey Gang!

I was surprised and excited when they announce that Mattel was going to
produce a doll in the image of Iris Apfel!

This colorful senior and style icon is wholly unique!
The promotional photos looked promising too!

The Bate!

What I was hoping for was a petite doll, with an older face and hopefully
on a articulated body! A doll like the one in the pictures above promo shots!
What I am seeing so far is fashion dolls that are nice but not really
looking like what got my hopes up!
Versions 2 which I am guessing is to supposed to be the icon.

 Version 1

Both these dolls are listed as Styled By Iris Apfel.  This give me hope that we 

might still see the  doll shown below!

I know that there are often changes in the promo photo and the doll released.
But in my mind, these dolls aren't even close!

There is still time for the promo doll to be released! My hopes are still up.  I

OK, Thanks For Looking!
