So, what is pictured there all came from the Justine, however, a number of years before I wrote this article, there was a lot of Swans Crossing dolls that I purchased on eBay that had the Sandy, Male 1 and 2 in the lot, which shocked me because I had never seen them before. The seller was not a toy designer or insider, so these were not prototypes but actual releases they bought in store. I have never seen a Callie Walker in her motorcycle uniform aside from the one I have. My guess is that those particular figures were released in smaller numbers towards the end of the run of the line, and since the show did not last long, the plug was pulled on the toy line. But that is just my theory. In my interview with Justine I had asked about those specific figures and she had no idea what the distribution numbers were. It is a very interesting situation. I will search eBay too, and aside from that one listing all those years ago, I have never seen those four figures.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-4193779352795709502022-09-11T18:06:35.879-05:002022-09-11T18:06:35.879-05:00Hi.

My understanding is that 3 of the Rock Concert figures, Male 1 and 2 and Sandy USA Girl were never released / Available in stores. I can see you have them but I assume you got them from the lady who literally made them. <br /><br />I also understand that the Motorbike girl outfit figure was also never released in stores anywhere despite the bike being put out. <br /><br />I've never seen them and I used to collect these figures back in 92/3 and the internet provides zero pictures of them, again backing up that they were never released even in the US. <br /><br />It's common for the rest of the world to be left out of figures, happens pretty much with every series ever made, but ebay com brings back zero results on this four figures. Even today when they should be awash with them. <br /><br />So, can you confirm these figures never saw the light of day outside of a few prototypes that never went beyond staff working on them. Then we can cut the list down from 19 figures to 14. lol.

So much did indeed go into this toy line. I ended up learning so much about her work in the toy industry and everything that goes into it. My goodness so many stories. I tell her all the time that she needs to write a book. I think it would be amazing.
