NOTE: R&D Fashion Dolls of Taiwan was created by Rudi Teruel and David Wu. Articulated dolls were issued with specific clothing designs and themes to celebrate places (like Hanoi, Sydney, etc.). Clothing sets and accessory sets were also issued by the company. R&D no longer manufactures dolls or clothing, but occasionally licenses the face sculpt, body design, and name for collaborations with other doll companies such as Integrity Toys, Sekiguchi, and Petworks.
