What?!! Where is this news? I love my custom one, but I will buy literally anything Stormy.
ETA: Finally found the owner pic on Facebook. Rather amused that Hallmark got scooped by dragging out their announcement too long. And there's a full-length shot of her on ebay because one seller has a couple of the doll, but not Skydancer yet.
I will buy her, but I'm disappointed they didn't do her hair right. She looks more like the prototype from the 80s, which also inexplicably changed her hair. I'm actually a teense more excited about Skydancer, who looks gorgeous.
It seems like tomorrow is the big reveal day, so maybe they'll go up on the website? But at least 2 people have already bought her in store and I happen to be getting my hair cut right next to our Hallmark. Mom can take her turn first. I'm going to Hallmark! Heh. If they don't have them, I might order online, but we're going on vacation in about a week now, so it's poor timing unless they ship USPS like with the Itty Bittys, which will be held at our post office.
Arrrrrrrrrgh. Stormy's been my fave since her first appearance. Why does timing have to be so poor?
Oooh, ooh, share pics? My friend snapped a pic of her catalog (that's how I found out) but any further search just led to customs and prototypes and basically the internet laughed at me.
And good luck, I hope they have her in store for you. :D
I, too, have loved Stormy for eons. So naturally she's gonna appear when I have no real extra money. Because of course she is.
The horses are 11" and the dolls 16" according to Hallmark.com. I've only ever seen Twink and Starlite in person. We either never got the doll or she sold out. I'm hoping she came in at mine or they'll be able to tell me she's coming soon, but the website also offers pretty cheap expedited and rush shipping options, so as long as they go up for sale very, very soon, I can order.
The Shy Violet Itty Bitty was some web exclusive that I certainly never got an email or anything for. She was already gone by the time I stumbled across her and on ebay she goes for about $35, which is insane for a $7 toy. I still need the Patty/Buddy set and Rainbow herself to complete mine, but my annoyance over Shy makes me not want to bother.
*notes the sizes* I'm hoping they show up on the website soon because I want, but getting to the nearest Hallmark while it's open is a pain.
Justice for Shy Violet! I can understand not wanting to bother getting everything if you're already not going to have it all. Usually a better thing for the wallet but kind of not great for the company in question.

I don't often link to Facebook, so let's see if this works:

Was anything else good in the catalog? More Itty Bittys? I'm still mad about Shy Violet, so I don't want to miss anyone else.

Oooh, it did work! Huh. Are there different sized horses or is my perception off because of how they're posed in this:

She's cuter than she looked in the catalog picture. And what happened with Shy Violet? Did she appear and disappear in no time?
