To mark the event there will be 2, very last “Mark 2″ body dolls, released at a very limited release of 75. The old body moulds have been destroyed and these gals will be the very last of their kind!

The first doll, which landed on planet Superfrock today, is called Maverick. This rather lovely doll sports the Venus D’Royce clone face. Many fans have likened her looks to the basic Venus, released a couple of years ago. I have to agree… to a degree. However the face-up does have very subtle differences and colouring. And she is nevertheless gorgeous! The wig is to die for and the outfit sublime! Go to Superfock now to see for yourself and look out for her sister Mantilla coming very soon!!

This is her blurb:

“the GATEKEEPERS
Maverick ED: 75
(as seen in promo image for 2010 Valentine excl. gown ‘After Midnight’)
Venus d’Royce. clone: 777.
Neutral yet colourful. Serene yet demanding!
Gorgeous Venus appears in shades of nude and reptile with
just a dash of DAYGLO lime! Chantilly lace nude mantilla, silk satin and silk chiffon backless midrif blouse, lime beaded skirt, crystal and metalic hose. ankle boots in faux lizard!
10 matching bracelets and dark burnt plum armlets. hairbows in matching lime and nude corsage!
Turquoisey jade eyes, neurtral shadow, pale guava lips & applied brown eyelashes.
Everything you ever wanted in a gate keeper… and then some.”

STOP PRESS!! Once I am back in London I will be taking more pics and will have a detailed review of Tick. Please check back soon…

I have her cape upside down I think! I was worse for wear today so forgive me!


She has compacts on the soles of her shoes... cool!

Complete with powder puff too!

The new clothes I had ordered from Ficondoll only a couple of days ago had arrived, the sun was shining and Venus just wanted to strut her stuff! I must say I am rather impressed with this outfit. The shirt especially, I think, looks lovely on her. So here we have, for your viewing pleasure, the cherry pick of the results!

That is until I saw IT Girl Venus on the Superdoll online store. I had to have her. And after a brief conversation with the Other Half and pulling out my rather overly used flexible friend I was the proud owner of my very own sYbarite. Now that she has taken up residence in my home I certainly have no regrets. Other than the fact that she has rather spoiled me for other dolls especially now that poor Tyler et al feeling a little neglected in favour of their new rival.

The people behind Superfrock and the whole sYbarite phenomenon are partners Charles Fegen and Desmond Lingard, themselves lifelong doll fans. Although they both originate from South Africa they now very much based in the UK. Which as a UK resident myself is a rather amazing thing especially as it seems everything I have collected so far has been very much from far overseas (but luckily when the pound was oh so much healthy!). Now I could even pop round to see them were it not for
having not being invited. And perhaps for appearing too much like a dolly stalker…

They are both trained in fashion design, which is obviously demonstrated, in the intricately stunning fashions they create for their dolls. In fact their business began with them designing for other fashion dolls such as Gene and Tyler before they
took the plunge and went ahead with the release of their own doll. That was in 2005 and since the there have been may production dolls, outfits, wigs and accessories as well as the rather higher end and extremely limited edition One-Of–A-Kind dolls. They regularly attend the Paris Fashion Doll Exhibition and have shown in New York, London and Moscow to name but a few.
