Madame Alexander Dolls 85th Anniversary Cissy Dolls

We here at Beacons Glow Collectibles were thrilled to get the opportunity to purchase 3 special edition Cissy Dolls from Madame Alexander celebrating their 85th Anniversary.

Last year Madame Alexander Dolls celebrated their 85th Anniversary. As aptly put by the Alexander Doll Company: "Since its beginning in 1923 the Alexander Doll Company has strived to create beautifully crafted dolls to delight children or all ages. Through the years, we have continued to honor Madame's original vision while incorporating contemporary characters and modern materials into our works, and our 85th Anniversary limited edition creations, reflect the ultimate in design and beauty."

The three 85th Anniversary Cissy dolls that we were fortunate to get in stock are:

1. 85th Anniversary Cissy (#48295) - Cissy's platinum blonde bob, dramatic make-up and blue eyes are show stoppers for this 85th Anniversary Cissy doll. This incredible collectible doll won the 2008 DOTY (Doll of the Year) Collectible Fashion Doll category.

2. Timeless Beauty Rose Cissy (#48305) - Blonde-haired Timeless Beauty Rose makes her entrance in a luminous, tea rose pink satin dress. The intricate beading on her dress is exquisite and obviously done by master seamstresses.

3. Timeless Beauty Violet Cissy (#448300) wears an absolutely glamorous skirted ball gown that has a strapless heart shaped bodice with a tuxedo collar. She bears an uncanny, striking resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor during the 1950's.

Both Timeless Beauty Cissy dolls were designed by both Timothy Alberts and Dale Richards, who used the 1950's as their backdrop. Timothy Alberts has been popular with Madame Alexander doll collectors since he joined the company in 2000, and his designs have been an instant success with collectors. Dale Richards has been the head of the Saturday Night Live Costume Department for over a decade. When not working for SNL, he creates bridal gowns. The Timeless Beauties is his first foray into doll design.

All of these incredible Cissy dolls come from an extremely limited edition of only 85 pieces.

Beacons Glow Collectibles has priced all three of these Cissy dolls very competitively. Please keep in mind that we do offer layaway plans and will work with each individual to customize their layaway.
