Yesterday, I took my 2004 Madra "That Certain Blue Gown" doll out to display.>>>> Archived Message Posted by SuzanneMcD on June 29, 2023, 6:51 pm To my HORROR, when I tried to adjust her arm, I heard a snap and the lower arm fell off!!!!!!! Fortunately, I had an extra Integrity body that I used to replace the crumbling and discoloring Ashton Drake one. I shake my head to think of the price and rarity of this doll, only to have it fall apart! (She is shown here with her new body.) Click photos to see full images.
