Since Apple Valley has decided to create all of it's dolls in the new thin translucent vinyl, I am getting complaints from customers. The new vinyl is simply too soft for the todders and big kids and does not color the same way for realism. I am trying to finish orders and am trying to find dealers who have the old painted tranlucent or translucent vinyl (made before January of this year I think) Bambi body parts, Chris legs and the following heads: Milee, Silly Goose, Keiko, and any other large size heads. If you have any of these in the OLD pt vinyl, please contact me at help@tinastots-dolls.com
Thank you, Tina McCulloch

There is a special type of foam in a can that is supposed to work great with the newer vinyl. They are trying to get it and have it available on the website soon. Apparently it will sturdy up the vinyl close to what the older vinyl was but still remain fairly flexible. I'll keep you posted.
Since this is an older post, I wasn't sure if Tina is still looking for the older AV parts? Please email privately if you are still looking for parts made before January of this year.

Yes she is so I thought I'd put it here for her, but I have been in contact with her. She has had some trauma in her life and posting here for her (or anyone else) will serve the purpose just fine :)
