In 1994 Sarah's Attic was licensed by the Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., and is the only company in America licensed to create likenesses of this great American and his family members. The first in this series of resin figurines depicts Mrs. Parks sitting on a bus seat. Both pieces were retired in 1997. Since then the company has become licensed to produce doll based on the Sarah's Gang resin sculptures created by Sarah Schultz of Sarah's Attic. Companies such as Ashton-Drake Galleries, Franklin Mint, and Danbury Mint continue to introduce lovely dolls of color, created by various artists.
Some companies make durable and adorable babies that are actually made for children to play with.
As a collector, I think every doll, no matter its color or national heritage, has its own unique beauty and charm. Used under License.
