Still one awesome doll, Katie turns 10

Katie turn 10 sometime this week. Her production number is in the 1360's and was originally a head 9. I bought her in early 2001 from an owner in Seattle and purchased a head 8 from Slademan. As with the early dolls there has been repairs, however with the last recore and breast replacement last Aug 2008 they (repairs) have been remarkably absent.
The silicone is still soft but the skin tone has browned somewhat . The skin tone has changed from medium to tan. With all the doll improvements RD2 and other doll makers like Loveable dolls, the look of this original Stephanie still brings out the goosebumps. Katie is still my most treasured doll.

Thank you for making them Matt M.

Congrats Katie!!

10 years! That's what I call a seasoned veteran.

Last night my Face 8 RD Kari turned 3 but I don't bother making a thread about that.

10 really is great! It just goes to show that with a caring owner these dolls can have a long and happy life.

Happy Birthday, Katie!

Wow, 10 years is a milestone. I wonder what percentage of dolls of her vintage are still around?

Katie is very lucky to have gone to as skilled and caring of an owner such as you.

Here's to the next ten years!

I would be really interested to know myself. I would also be interested
to refurbish/restore one of them. I wonder if Abyss would pour a new doll with the old mold?

Anyways, thanks for the wishes and comments.
