I don't know. We'll have to wait for more info from Mattel.

Grace Kelly is stunning, I just hope that the construction issues they had with the last Grace doll will not be repeated with this new lady.  I guess I'm a little underwhelmed by the Hope Diamond figure.  But I will definitely be keeping my eyes on both dolls.

I don't like Hope Diamond Barbie. She looks like she had a bad facelift.

I agree about Hop, she is far too cartoony for me. Grace on the other hand is stunning! 

what were the construction issues Deborah with the previous doll?

Simon, I was trying to find the post and picture on Flickr, but I seem to recall someone mentioning that the blue chiffon dress was very poorly constructed.  I think there was mention of poorly finished seams as well as the finishing in general.  I'm not sure if that was all of them or maybe hers was a fluke.

Yes, the dress is very poorly made. Also the head looks weird. It's flat. I don't like these dolls. :( The prototype pics are gorgeous but the reality is very sad.
