ASD Wholesale Buying Show Las Vegas 2012

ASD Gift and Toy Show August 2012

Just back from the August ASD trade show in Las Vegas.  ASD is a great venue for buying new dolls and bears.  The show combines a closeout/opportunity buy component, and a gift show component.  It was about 115 degrees in Las Vegas, but the variety and quality of the merchandise made it well worth braving the heat.

Here are some of the new items that we ordered at the show.  We'll have most of the items in stock around mid-September, in plenty of time for the holiday season.

Madame Alexander put out an 8" Tiger Lily doll, no. 469, as part of a Peter Pan series in the Storyland Collection in 1992.  We can't think of another Disney Tiger Lily doll, although there may have been other over the years.  Tiger Lily is not a common character doll by any means.
