The New  Year saw the announcement of the Nominees in the 2013 DollObservers.com Fashion Doll Awards. Members of the DollObservers.com community have been submitting their nominations since November last year and now it is the turn of the wider fashion doll loving world to vote for the ultimate winners.

Each of the 48 nominations, over the 10 categories, represents the very best that the fashion doll industry has to offer the adult collector.

What makes these nominations unique is that they are hand chosen by the dedicated members of this online community, with the eventual winners then voted for by the general fashion doll loving public. In this way these awards really do represent the true taste of the discerning fashion doll buyer.
