Limited to 500-1000 dolls (Barbie editions = 50,000 plus!) with exquisite facial sculpts, fabrics, and detailing. Mattel&#8217;s Barbie has gone through complete revision in an attempt to &#8220;catch up.&#8221;\u00a0 I have included some comparisons between equivalent Barbie Silkstone and Fashion Royalty dolls.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to own a little bit of Jason Wu fashion yourself, you can search for Fashion Royalty Doll on ebay (category Dolls and Bears) for early dolls or see dealers listed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fashionroyalty.com\">www.fashionroyalty.com<\/a> .
