Regency Special Collector's Edition 16-Inch Porcelain Doll 'Alison'

This is a vintage Regency 'Special Collector's Edition' 16-inch porcelain doll named 'Alison' from the 'Skating Doll' collection. The doll features a biscuit porcelain head, hands, and feet with a stuffed cloth body. She has blue glass-like eyes with realistic eyelashes and strawberry blonde curly hair. Her costume consists of a dusty rose pink velvet-style winter coat trimmed with white faux fur around the collar and down the center, accented with pink satin ruffles. The doll is presented in its original cream-colored cardboard display box with a clear plastic window. A notable feature is that she is designed as a skating doll, potentially including white ice skates as part of her ensemble. The box displays the 'Regency' logo at the top and identifies the item as 'Alison' at the bottom. The condition appears to be 'New Old Stock' (NOS), as the doll remains secured within its original packaging, though the box shows minor shelf wear and age-related yellowing or light scuffing on the cardboard edges. This mass-produced collector's doll likely dates from the late 1980s to the 1990s, a period when decorative porcelain dolls were highly popular collectibles.
