 LATEST ISSUE

Welcome to our December Issue, and I hope that you like our cover photo showing a collection of D’Nenes Marieta dolls depicting children around the world.

Dolls featured in this issue include antique wax dolls (wax dolls and candles seem to go together at Christmas!), rag dolls, hard plastic dolls and oriental dolls from Japan and China. We also look at Cabbage Patch dolls, fashion dolls, unusual modern play dolls and, because it is the pantomime season, explore the world of Snow White dolls.

In addition there are our regular features such as doll news, readers’ letters and queries, readers’ photos of their dolls, and of course, the popular ‘Sue’s Meanderings’ diary page which tells of her dolls’ adventures. This time they are posting letters in the mouth of a reindeer. Why?!!

                                                 MARCH 2017

Welcome to the March edition of Doll Showcase, which as usual is filled with plenty of articles on all types of dolls. Our cover picture features a Lee Middleton ‘Young At Heart’ toddler, all ready to celebrate Easter, complete with bunny ears and fluffy chick.

  As usual, there is plenty to read; Springtime features come in the form of a bevy of bride dolls, as well as a piece called ‘Tulips From Amsterdam’ which shows a collection of dolls from the Netherlands in their pretty traditional outfits. In addition, we venture to Argos to investigate their exclusive Chad Valley DesignaFriend range of dolls, and look at the new doll exclusive to Tesco, which is Sindy but not as we know her. She seems to have grown six inches in height but reverted to a child! Lovers of antique dolls will enjoy our look at small bisques, as well as a fascinating article called ‘Dressing Betty Caley’ and another which tells of two Bahr and Proschild black dolls. Vintage fans can read about those sweet tin-eyed Roddy dolls, and also try to solve the mystery of the two hard plastic dolls, one a Jinx, the other -who knows? - both in RNLI outfits. There is so much more, from Wellie Wishers to Eva Danker babies, and from dolls houses to reminiscences of war time toys. Letters, book reviews, small ads, and of course, the infamous diary, where we discover just what Sue’s dolls have been up to recently - this time, they have found a mini greenhouse so they try out their gardening skills.
