Middle Doll Product Update

Another month is upon us, and it’s time to touch base with what’s happening in the world of Middleton Dolls. I just got off the phone with my Middleton Doll distributor, and he tells me no new dolls will be introduced until 2010. However, at this time, there is ample stock available for our line of Limited Edition Collectibles and Middleton Now dolls, and by the end of September, all of our PlayBabies will be available in time for the Christmas season.

Meanwhile, of the 12 styles of New Artist Studio Collection My Own Babies that were introduced in July, six of these babies are still available. The retail price is an unbelievable $60.00 for these adorable babies!

We also have many of our sale dolls and accessories still available at 15 to 64% off.

Realistic Baby Dolls

Lee Middleton Urick was the first doll maker to create truly lifelike babies. Her untimely death on January 30, 1997, saddened her admirers who were deeply moved by her lifelike creations. Fortunately, many of Lee’s own designs are still in production because of the firm’s alliance with many gifted artists. These artists keep more dolls coming with the “Middleton touch,” the lifelike look that causes double-takes and encourages many collectors to fall in love with his or her very own baby.

Are Vinyl Dolls Collectible Dolls?

How Vinyl dolls Became Collectible

Middleton Doll Company had its beginnings in 1980 when Lee Middleton began sculpting dolls at her kitchen table. The business grew at a steady clip. However, the porcelain medium was problematic because the process was time consuming. Only a few dolls could be reproduced, and the dolls were very expensive. As a result, Lee Middleton decided to replicate her porcelain designs in vinyl, speeding the production process and lowering the price of the dolls. The only drawback was that vinyl dolls weren’t considered collectibles. However, Lee Middleton’s artistry and innovative spirit broke down that barrier. She pioneered the porcelain look in vinyl with her “baby skin” dolls. These dolls with life like qualities became the first vinyl dolls to be numbered and signed, and they are the first dolls to achieve collectible status. Lee Middleton died suddenly of a fatal heart attack in 1997. Finding an artist to replace her was imperative. Reva Schick was the first doll designer, other than Lee Middleton, to have her work produced under the Middleton banner. Today, she carries on the Limited Edition Collectible line with her award status
