PRICE REDUCTION & NEW PRODUCT RELEASE

Hello everyone.

Due to the current economic environment, and because of careful budgeting on our end, we have decided to drop the prices on our dolls. We have been in our new location 3 months now and have carefully analyzed our overhead. We were able to negotiate some excellent prices on materials now that we are producing regularly, and Matt was able to come to some good agreements with his long-time friends in related industries. With the cost of our overhead dropping we have decided to pass the savings on to our customers. The new prices will be represented on new orders placed after April 22nd 2009 as the next batch of orders will be created from the lower cost materials. You’ll be happy to know that although our costs have dropped we’re using the absolute highest quality materials including extraordinary medical grade platinum silicone and we are continuing to offer our special handmade eyes and all the other details and accessories that are included with our dolls. We hope that those of you who were waiting for a good deal will now feel confident to go ahead with your order and help us continue to keep rolling forward.

The prices reflected below are our new standard doll prices. At this time we are offering the female bodies 1 and 2 with whichever head you would like for $4,800 plus shipping ($450 within the USA; priced depending on delivery location for international shipments). The delivery window on orders placed now for these two body types is approximately 10 – 12 weeks.

We are also beginning to take pre-orders on our new body 3. Body 3 dolls will be created for delivery within 16 – 20 weeks of time of order. Pre-orders on this body assist us to offset the costs of development. Body 3 will be approximately 5’5”, she has a thicker waist and is more curvy than our bodies 1 and 2, and she has a DD cup breast size. Because the body 3 is slightly larger than the bodies 1 and 2, she is $5,000 plus shipping. In order to assist us in moving this project forward we will be offering this body for $4800 to the first five people that place their order. You can see pictures of the body 3 model on our Flickr page and in the Doll Forum discussion. Please email for more information.

There are also 3 new heads currently in development. You will start seeing those released around the end of May/middle of June. There is one Asian face, one Eurasian style and one Caucasian. We hope you love them! If you would like to take advantage of the offer on the body 3 there will be time to evaluate your face choice as these new heads make their way into production.

Last but certainly not least is our male doll. The price on the male has been dropped to $5,200.00 plus shipping. We will have the male doll completed and photographed hopefully within 45 days. He still needs a lot of work as he was pushed onto the back burner while we caught up with delivery on the female doll orders, but he’ll be back under the tools and heading for completion soon. For people who place a pre-order on the male doll now, the delivery window is 12 – 16 weeks.

We are having our website redeveloped to include an easy shopping cart for doll orders but that is still in the works. If you wish to place an order in the meantime, please email info@knighthorsellc.com for information and assistance. We are also developing an accessories website where products like Lovable Dolls torsos, feet and stands will be available. The doll site is being held exclusively for dolls although the sites will be linked and share the shopping cart feature. All doll buyers will be given full free access to our membership tiers which allows you to post pictures of your dolls, use our Lovable Doll-specific forum, see videos, sneak peeks, extra photos and comment on our blogs.

The first products to be released on our accessories site will be the new quarter torso and the doll stand. The quarter torso is $600 plus shipping. Anyone who purchases a torso then opts to purchase a doll within 12 calendar months gets $300 towards the price of the doll (cannot be combined with other offers). You can see more information about the torso at the Doll Forum.

Thanks again for all your support. Without you we have nothing; it feels good to pass our savings on to you! Happy shopping!

(The doll shown in this blog entry is Monique, a body 2 head 2 Lovable Doll in the Mocha skin tone.)
