Serge,

thanks for sharing this. And it may be wise to adhere to their wishes (in the States) because dolly companies sometimes actually really sue photographers.

Having said this, it does not mean that there is anything wrong in doing whatever a photographers likes in his art work with a doll. To clarify that there are NO restrictions and NO need to ask anybodies permission first, read here:

Tom Forsythe's Food Chain Barbie

We should honor Tom Forsythe effort for free speech and NOT ask a doll companies permission first.
