The Russians are coming,an AD arrives

[rentell]

I expect you are surprised to see her surface again

When you think she is 9 years old she is in remarkable condition.

That's the trouble with doll's, initially people are all over them ,then they cool off until eventually interest is lost.
They then end up getting stored, sometimes carelessly, going to the tip or getting sold on.

Always wanted an AD but at the time did not have the usable finance, then Oleg passed away so an adopted doll was the only option.

I must say when I said I wanted one on the forum I was very surprised after waiting 2 years to be offered this one.
I do not think many escaped Russia.

I seem to collect these dolls, I enjoy Borisa's presence and she is going to be a great photo model.
And as everyone seems to think in the history of dolls she is a collectors piece.

And a question if you would not mind ,I'm unsure if she is a body #1 or the later body#3 ?

I seem to remember reading that Oleg made a new model which he named a #1M which took over the # 1 spot.

And as anaside ,if you ever hear of a 1M model for sale do please let me know ....
