With George bowing out will there be more Jamie show retro dolls in the future? They seem to focus on the Muses at this point.

In a recent post, OwenSu, the creator of the line says a new GLAM collection will be announced later

…this year.

They will first announce a new Muses collection after the Wild at Heart collection ships, and then later this year they will announce a new GLAM collection (which are their 16” dolls).

Oh, that's great news for the 16" collectors! Can link

They announced a year or so ago "no more 16", so that's a given

It seems to be such an uncertain market, I'm not sure if anyone besides Robert Tonner will continue to make 16" fashion dolls for the general market.

Robert Tonner, along with Rachel Hoffman and her Virtual Doll Convention business, have been the only suppliers I know of. They have successfully introduced several sizes of dolls and characters to a new market, and that's good for the hobby. Good for everyone, actually.

The high end artist-owned companies like Kingdom, Ficon or Aquatalis still offer small quantities of exquisite resin dolls, averaging $800.00 to $1500.00 and up. Some of the smaller companies have also put out offerings, like Alma Doll or V Jhon, but they are not mass market by any stretch of the imagination.

The present situation has businesses very uncertain because shipping is not stable or predictable.

I think there is still a market, I just don't know how long people will be willing to wait.

I must have missed that. Thanks for letting me know,

It makes me sad. I’m glad Tonner is still doing dolls they just don’t appeal to me for some reason.
