About Susie 

Susie is a fashion doll designed by Rudi Teruel and David Wu that has an original face mold and body sculpt.  It will be sold exclusively by R&D Fashion Dolls, store owned by their designers located in Taiwan.  Jason Wu and Integrity Toys helped in producing the dolls.  She debuted in Fall of 2003. Her body has 14 points of articulation.  It moves at the head, wrist, elbow, shoulder, waist, legs, knees, ankles. She stands at 11” tall, and her body is similar to other 1/6 scale dolls which lets her borrow fashions from dolls like Momoko, Silkstone, Jenny, Francie, Teen Skipper, Azone Clothing (see links section for dealers) and Tiny Kitty Collier (by the Tonner Company) . She will usually be around the $75-$89 price range and issues will probably never go above 300 worldwide.

 

News – updated October 18, 2008*

 

*      As you might have guess… I had to stop collecting Susie dolls around 2005 – when to many Fashion Royalty dolls came out and I had to decide which line to keep… I might buy a Susie on occasion and include it in the detailed guide but it won’t be complete. 

 

*      Regarding the Reference Guide:   I plan to work on updating the site in April 2009 to add the ‘coming soon’.  Since I am not collecting I would suggest for continuation  As a continuation of this I would suggest the checklist at this site:    http://www.visibly-vintage.com/susie.htm
Also Susie’s Official Site:  http://www.rnddolls.com/site/susie.htm
