The crowdfunding started on march 5, in 2 days more then triple the target has been raised. $297.701 (Target was $95.000) and there is still 28 days to go.
A 25$ donation will get you a doll in November. I couldn't resist, cuz the mocked-up doll looks pretty nice!
Thanks for the link to the crowdfunding site, was just about to put it when I realized what I linked was just the buzzfeed site and it's totally worth it, the doll looks beautiful
yeah, I really like the direction he's going with this, and as he said on his site, if he can manage to make these dolls happen, he'll start doing other ethnicities and body types, which would be awesome.
Yep! the way it's going, at the very least the first batch of the dolls will come out, even if he runs into unforeseeable money issues with them. The most important thing is that people are really interested in
them, so that already is great.
yeah, I've seen a lot of 'nit good quality dolls' so we'll see how good they end up.. but if nothing else, maybe it communicates to the BIG toy companies that 'this may be viable after all"
Exactly
I'm not coming at this from a "OMG Barbie is horrible" perspective.. more from a "OMG SCALE MODEL HUMAN"
oh wow
