Joe Tai: Ingrid/Brigette Ash Brown Bangs Wig /~2008 – (Nude)
$79.99
NUDE, RARE. Limited edition articulated collector wigged doll “Brigette” from the “Ingrid” line designed by Joe Tai. These dolls are made of a somewhat heavier vinyl than play line dolls, similar to early edition Mattel Silkstone. Most have intricate hairstyles and very refined makeup/face-paint. While this doll can wear many of the same clothing items as Barbie or Fashion Royalty, the feet are significantly larger, similar in size to Jakks Pacific Paradise/GIRL Force dolls, and therefore cannot wear shoes designed for most other traditional fashion dolls. This doll has a solid vinyl scalp painted medium auburn, and is sold with the wig shown – soft, fine, shoulder-length ash brown hair fiber with bangs. This doll also comes with pink dangle earrings as shown, which complement her eye shadow color. See additional *NOTES* below.

Description
*NOTE 1: Joe Tai was a talented fashion and doll designer first based in Taiwan, who designed intricate clothing ensembles and high-end shoes for his dolls. His creations were prized by collectors. Unfortunately he passed away in November, 2010, which brought an end to the doll and fashion lines he created.
*NOTE 2: Wigs come in different sizes. A standard or upscale fashion doll will usually take a #4 (or 4″) wig. (Play-line Barbie with hair removed usually takes a 4.5 wig.) There is no “standard” for wig-making. Some wig caps (the part where the hair is sewn or otherwise adhered) may have a flat cap, or have a stretchy elastic cap. A lot of wigs, even though they may be properly sized for standard fashion dolls, do not have a full wig cap, or have a very small wig cap, and therefore will not fit well on every doll that would take that size wig. To keep wigs in place, put a strip of double-sided tape (or a sticky-side-out loop of regular “Magic” tape) on the top of the doll’s head, and other places as needed, to secure the wig. Once tape is applied, position the wig on the doll’s head, then press down so wig cap adheres to tape. Tape is usually easy to remove without damaging the doll, and tape residue can be rubbed off with fingers or damp cloth without the need for soap or solvents.
*NOTE 3: Earrings included with this doll have metal posts. As with any vinyl doll, it is not advisable to leave metal accessories, especially metal-post earrings, on doll for extended length of time either on display or in storage without checking periodically for green ear – which may likely happen in high-humidity/heat conditions, or as the vinyl ages.
*NOTE 4: Some earlier Joe Tai articulated dolls have “ratchet” joints that move in predetermined increments, while others have smooth movement. The “ratchet” joints were, presumably, an early design feature to ensure the doll held poses without the joints eventually loosening up.
