Post Antoinette the Sympathy Girl (Necessaries Toy Foundation)
After a long silence from Antoinette (2002-----2010) Suddenly she seems to be back in 2 new colorways "Black" from http://www.3DRetro.com and "Pink Hair" from http://www.lulubelltoys.com

I've grabbed all 3 available colors that I've seen, but does anyone else know what might be in the works for our little orphan? I hope there's more variants on the way!

weren't there two original colorways way back when and then these three are the new ones?

The first version was released years and years ago, I remember seeing one in a record shop back in 2003-2004ish.
The size of it really impressed me...that & it's a quality toy.

Blue Dress/Blonde hair is the original. I don't think there were any other colors back then. I've had mine for years, and was excited to see some new versions popping up in small runs.


** Edit after some research, I found that there was a slight variant. There was a more common blue eyed version and a less common green eyed.

Ok-I'm officially driving myself a little nuts now- I have 2 of the blonde version & both have green eyes. Either I'm very lucky, the blue is actually the rare variant, or there is no variant. Anyone know?

There was a variant of the original Antoinette doll - but I think it was the green-eyed version, released only in Japan, and the blue-eyed version was the domestic release. I'm going by memory so take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks. I bought both of mine domestically and both are green eyed, so I think Blue must have been the jp only.

mega. nate's a cool guy. he taught me everything I know about making toys.

I remember he did most of the stuff for Long Gone John. I once saw a prototype Mark Ryden toy he did that was only made for Mark Ryden, Long Gone John & Gaston from Melt/Span of Sunset I believe.
