I thought I would let you know that since the La Dee Da line is being discontinued, first wave Dee (the one in the city dress) is on sale at Toys R Us for THREE DOLLARS!!!!!! I got her and love her.

If I owned the company, I would go into the body articulation business. How many collectors do you know use LIV bodies. Make them in different shades, no heads.
