For a while, Hamilton Design Systems and their Candi doll was the hottest thing to happen to the collectible doll market. They featured innovative faces and styles done on the classic 1:6 scale. In the few years since they arrived on the scene, however, the partnership between Mikelman and Helena ended in a string of accusations, and the current status of any future releases is uncertain. This doll came out for this past Christmas holiday in a limited edition and is the only authorized Betty Page doll ever. Bettie, for anyone who doesn't know, was a favorite 1950s pin-up model who reemerged in the late 80s when she regained the rights to her name and likeness. There were six more dolls originally scheduled to be released this month. Keep your fingers crossed and ask your local doll dealer in a few months for updates.

THE DOLL
A very iconic likeness.

THE CLOTHES
