I feel like I haven't worked on a new release kit for a while. Iv been working on kits from last year, fantasy and commissioned orders. So I'm very excited to get my hands on these up & coming new releases. These are the last few babies I'll be working on till the end of the year other than my Victorian Gothic babies that will launch on etsy soon. Each kit is already sold out and I was fortunate to be able to pre-order one of each.
I generally never pre-order kits, and that's because when they're released and you are unable to pay for the kits right away, lots of companies will cancel your order and keep the pre-order deposit or if the kits all sell out before you pay for yours, you then lose your deposit which is generally between $20-$40 a pre-order kit. I learned that the hard way when I had about 5 kits all come out at the same time and couldn't afford to pay off the rest of the balance for them all and lost out on a couple. Most kits sell between $79-$110 for preemie & baby sizes. Toddlers generally start out at $130 and up.
Now with these specific kits from these specific artists, we all knew they were going to sell out, so that's my exception on pre-ordering . If you don't pre-order a kit you think will sell out quickly then you are pretty much out of luck and will have to find them on a 2nd market like eBay. Probably selling for 2-3 times as much. Remember "Jayden" Scholl? Blank kits still selling for between $400-$700... Crazyness!
Natalie's limited edition kit "Ryan" & Tamies limited edition kit "Serene" sold out in a matter of 24 hours! None of the kits have been released yet, but anytime we should be getting invoices so they can start shipping! I can't wait.These photos are from the sculptors them selves or from the artist who created the prototype.
Natalie Scholls "Ryan"
He is a preemie baby (my favorite to work on) He has the sweetest little hands & feet.
Tamie Yaries "Serene".
She is a larger sized baby. I think around 21"? Tamie usually creates
preemie size's 17-19" and we were all excited for a larger sized baby.
Bonnie Brown Collection "Buggy"
who is now also Sold Out. This kit reminds me of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's daughter "Shiloh"She has the same little lips.. I believe she is a preemie size, perhaps 16-17" correct me if I'm wrong.
The real Shiloh Pitt-Jolie:
Ahhh yes, you do see it!
