One of my co-workers just sent me an email about this new company so I thought I'd post it here right away :) Nice to see some real diversity in the fashion doll realm.

The Essence...of Collection
Chicago, IL (BlackNews.com) -- Trinity Designs, Inc. has made its premier as the newest designer and manufacturer of African American dolls. Even more, they have successfully launched their first doll, The Essence of a Delta - the first audio equipped collectible, sorority fashion doll to hit the scene. Not only is she beautiful but yes, she sings!
The Chicago-based company has truly outdone itself with their first collection of beauties. Their signature collection includes, not only The Essence of a Delta, but also The Essence of a Zeta, The Essence of Lady Ivy and The Essence of Lady Sigma - all of which have custom audio, custom sculpted hands and are designed with every detail in mind.
To the surprise of many, this small company of African American women was able to pull off a magnificent accomplishment by entering into the manufacturing and doll industry. They are celebrating the launch of the only 100% African American, woman owned, collectible fashion doll company.
Because the signature line is only available for a limited time, interested ones are advised to be sure not to miss the opportunity at owning one of these beautiful dolls. However, there are new designs in the lineup that will feature a Holiday doll and a collection of dolls for children.

I wish the dolls looked a bit less like Tonners and all the others out there. Are they based a bit on Michelle Obama because they do remind me of her.

Actually you are not old enough to remember what she looked like, but they look like the young Diana Ross back in the day when it was just The Supremes. I LOVE the hands!

They do remind me of Diana Ross- and that's a good thing. :) Pretty handsculpts and outfits, too-it's just a shame they're not 1:6.

Actually I had the same thought about Diana Ross and the Supremes :) It's all of them standing together like that.

The hands are really interesting, aren't they? Now, I'm not too up on the whole sorority thing, but I'm wondering if the hand gestures of the three ones that have greek names are related to the names somehow.

Could have to do with the Lambda on the site, if I remember correctly from Revenge of the Nerds it was historically African American.

As for the size it's a nice size for a doll but they don't fit in with too many others.
