Masterpiece dolls is great at reaching out to budding artists and is often adding new sculptors to their list. I had some brief first-hand experience with this when Masterpiece produced one of my own bizarre clay babies in vinyl for the German market. I think this was the ugliest and least popular doll ever made, but it was a neat experience...and probably a good story for another time.
Despite my interactions with this company, I have never owned a Masterpiece doll that wasn't sculpted by me. I have been eyeing the larger Masterpiece children ever since Annette Himstedt stopped making dolls in 2009, but more out of curiosity than the desire to purchase. A recent online sale got me looking at these dolls again, and this time I did some research and accumulated enough interest to bring one of the larger girls home for review. The doll I chose is Monika Peter-Leicht's "Snow White" from 2010. I should warn you up front, though, that by the end of the review the doll won't look much like this anymore:
