Ai Lien From China In The 2005 Annette Himstedt Collection

Yet another very popular (and sold out from the Annette Himstedt company) is Ai Lien, from China. Ai Lien is "a stubborn little girl from China" and part of the Asia group in the collection. Ai Lien is 35 1/2" tall, made of vinyl. All the dolls in this collection have semi hand-knotted human hair and German glass blown eyes. Ai Lien is limited to 377 dolls and sells for a suggested retail of $742.
