Pinkie Cooper Factory Mix-Up Found!
« on: January 15, 2016, 03:23:31 PM »
I was so pleased to find a Pinkie Cooper doll today at Tuesday Morning, that it took me a minute to realize a couple things:

Yes.  That is London Pinkie in Ginger's box!  And, not only that...look at her drifting eye!  :rofl:  I mean, it's bad enough it's off-center, but that extra bit of pink accent in the corner really accentuates the flaw.

I stared at the box for a long while to figure out if someone switched dolls out - it is still factory sealed and the little cardboard slits where Ginger's purse would have been attached are flawless (no bends or creases to ever suggest a purse was ever attached).

Has anyone else found Pinkie mix-ups?!

There's a bunch of these just like this, or at least there were, at our local Tuesday Morning. And the other 2 from this set, too.

That's wild!  I wonder if they had a bunch of travel Pinkies and just threw them into random boxes when the line ended...

I mean, I would think that the dolls currently in close-out stores are the last dolls to be shipped in.

That would be my guess. I'm really sad they discontinued the line. I really loved them.

Me too!  I would have loved to see more fashions and other styles of dogs.  Oh well!  Maybe some day...

Shes the only one I have from that line, and her box is also wrong.  The only difference is mine doesn't have suck an offset eye, lol.

No, they're not, but they're still popping up in close-out stores like Tuesday Morning.

I've seen a bunch of these dolls at a local store if anyone needs any of them. I know nothing about who they had. So I'd just have to have a look and see.

wow, that's interesting, and a great find! :) it's great to see they are still available, even if in such mixed-up versions, as I'm still on the lookout for some of these dolls. I wish this line still existed, I would have loved to see the dolls from the leaked promo pics (the Cabana and the Beach dolls) come to life, as well as many more. they were such sweet little things...

SwordPony: I sent you a PM :)

Sorry for bumping this topic up, but since it's about PC dolls that recently reappeared in shops I hope someone here might be able to help me.

I am still on the lookout for some of these dolls, would someone be able to help me find them? I'm in Europe, so you'd have to ship them here, and shipping charges can be a dealbreaker unfortunately, so I'd be happy to know an approximate in advance to be able to decide whether it'd be worth it for me to have them shipped from the US.
I'd mainly be interested in the below dolls and sets, in order of importance:

- Pepper Parson
- Pinkie in Paris (I'd like to have Lil' Pinkie too - or mainly her scarf - so I'd initially be on the lookout for the original set. If someone has just Lil Pinkie's scarf, and is willing to sell it to me, I'd also be OK with the factory mix-up Paris Pinkie in a slim box)
- the Jet Set Pets who were available separately

- I'd possibly be intersted in slim box Pinkie and Ginger too
- and I'd also love Pinkie's, and possibly Pepper's fashion packs

Thank you very much to anone who might be able to help!
