A company whose name is "Pittsburgh Originals" made a doll called

  'Vanilla Milkshake'  It was not in the last two or three years but most

  likely in the last six to eight. (It is is a soft cloth doll, not small)

  Mine was stolen and I would like to see if it is possible to replace
  her with a new one or one in excellent condition, where I could
  locate her, and what her price would be

  This is my first question since signing up with with 'google answers' and
  I'm not certain what questions you accept and which you don't.  I also
  don't know what fees are reasonable, so I will just have to 'feel my way'
  for a while.

  Thanks 

 

  Thank you for your help

Request for Question Clarification by rainbow-ga on 06 Jan 2003 15:42 PST

Hi pixie,
Just want to fill you in on what I have found out so far.
While researching your question, I contacted Chris Miller, a
well-known designer for Pittsburg Originals and received this reply:
"Vanilla Milkshake was designed several years ago. She is not a cloth
doll. She is a 14 inch vinyl doll.
The only place to find her would be on the secondary market. Her
edition was completely sold out."
I'll let you know of any progress in my continuing research.
Best regards,
rainbow-ga

I can't speak for Google Answers, but I do think that this is an
appropriate question, at a reasonable price relative to similar
questions.

I have found one reference to this doll from 1996, but nothing
current.

Perhaps another Researcher will be able to find this doll for sale. 
If not, you could try posting a message in the rec.collecting.dolls
