I am an advertising fan, and I must confess that some of my knowledge comes from making long trips with my father during that time....with shark, etc. fruit snacks at my side! LOL!), and the super cool trailer, too.<br /><br />Even so, the Bikin Express, LTD. company was bold during the 1980s, giving "Snow White" fans not only the regular characters, but removable clothing for the dwarfs, a doll of the witch, and Snow White's prince, too! Super cool! Don't even get me started on how awesome that dollhouse is; the only cooler "Snow White" doll cottage is the one that was created by Simba during the 2000s.<br /><br />Did you know that Simba also made a Seven Dwarfs sleep set, with beds, dwarfs, and pajamas? I WANTED THAT set, but it was foreign, so I settled for the dwarfs that were available at The Disney Store. One can DREAM, though. :)Peppermint Snowdrifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892704947166771667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359046077016597255.post-11167426387384393152013-01-11T15:28:56.543-06:002013-01-11T15:28:56.543-06:00Hi EMW.

I guess the dolls' "worth" is relative to who's buying. It's still an interesting set, though, no matter what they sell for. :)Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359046077016597255.post-47032533690573196292013-01-11T15:11:47.891-06:002013-01-11T15:11:47.891-06:00I have a large set of theses dolls.
