While I would have preferred to get Kimber in the Permanent Wave fashion...Rock in Roses is pretty fun. AND, as Alain pointed out in the video introduction for W Club members, they choose fashions that would be tricky for customizers to easily make. (This is especially true since I already have the fabric to make my own Permanent Wave!) And please...that scrunchie? Take me money already. Raya looks fabulous. I love the glam look and the interpretation of this fashion from the cartoon to reality is really swell. I am loving the drum stand setup too...it will really save space in the doll display.
I kind of want a second set...and entered for two with my two memberships. But with the cutthroat doll market as of late...I am just hoping to get even one! I think they could have upped the edition size of this by another 100 (even with the drag of Kimber...who is at a saturation point in many collections). With this pairing, we can assume that Stormer and Jetta are coming next. After that....who knows. Many of us are dreaming of a basic swimsuit edition of Raya. Doubtful but it would be nice.
One more thing...in the youtube video reveal, people were being ABSOLUTE JERKS in the comments about these dolls. Like I turned the comments off after awhile. There are a small amount of people in this hobby that I could REALLY do without.
