GADCO Vintage John-John THREE SIGNATURE Artist Proof #128/500 Vinyl Doll, NIB

Description: This Is Gadco’s 2001 Vintage John-John Sculpted By Bruno Rossellini In 2001. He Is One Of The AP’s. Gadco Started This Tremendous Endeavor In 1998, But Because Of Ongoing Issues With The Economy, Was Unable To Complete His Production At That Time. After Rebuilding Several Factory Resources, And Creating New Tooling Options Which Didn’t Previously Exist, The Results Were That John-John Proved To Be One Of The Greatest Dolls That Gadco Ever Produced And Marketed. His AP, & Edition Numbers Were “Sold Out” Prior To His Actual Introduction. *Only Reasonable Offers Will Be Considered. John-John Is: • An original true-to-life artist sculpting John F. Kennedy, Jr., modeled after famous White House Oval Office scene, by Bruno Rossellini. • Classic 33" weighted- toddler cloth body, in traditional 19" Century European styling and construction. Fully armatured for ease in posing. • The virtually indestructible formulation of famous GADCO HardCast Vinyl, for realistic flesh tone and Museum quality texture found in the most expensive Greek & Italian marbles Which produced a life-like quality that will take your breath away. Special sculpting of "saluting hand" to permit the capture of that exact historic scene. Right hand is said by Bruno Rossellini to be saluting "tentatively" • Realistically-sculpted to scale chubby toddler legs, especially designed to go up to torso bottom, masterfully designed to appear exactly like little John-John's actual toddler legs! Designed to sit (with legs straight out or to stand). For ease in positioning the legs in any position/direction we have applied magic Velero strips to the bottom of his torso and the very top of his legs. Now you can simply position your John-John's legs any way you wish! Have fun! • Ratcheting armatures made from wearforever™ space-age polymers, allowing movement in all directions. For positioning John-John's saluting arm, carefully lift his arm into place. You may wish to position the arm a little to the far right of your doll's face doll's far right—and then easily bring his arm back into the exact correct place. Your John-John's armature is very strong, so feel free to move it around as much as you wish! • Soul-searching handmade European realistic crystal glass eyes. • Handset select upper and lower eyelashes. • Realistic hand-styled imported designer wig, with custom styling, and each wig individually custom-fit and hand cut to each doll. • 100% Full- lined Wool Challis coat and pants outfit, using custom designed impeccably embossed buttons on coat sleeves, coat front and Bermuda shorts w/suspenders. • Custom Made All-Metal Buttons for John-John's Coat and Pants, Embossed with the Words, "The President of the United States."

An important and rare historical doll, in an edition size, quality, value, and design destined for Greatness. A Very Valuable Doll… “We have upgraded you to a low-numbered, hand-signed Artist Proof Edition John-John doll, as your reward for your patience and trust awaiting John-John's production and to thank you for weathering the storm with us. Your John-John is one of the first dolls produced in this edition, and is personally hand signed on the shoulderplate by both Founders of the company and Bruno Rossellini.” Due to the extremely limited production, the universal popularity of John-John, and the truly realistic design created in a doll by The Great American Doll Company, his editions have completely SOLD OUT of both the regular edition of 2500 and hand-signed 500 artist proof John-John dolls.Your John-John is the end result of nearly three years of transition and triumph for the company. To us, the dolls' very existence is an exemplification of the Great American Spirit-an ever-enduring spirit that has in recent times become more and more cherished in America. The historic pictures of John-John saluting, and the many nostalgic White House pictures of happier times included in his packaging, are scenes that are forever imprinted in our souls. It is images like these that remind us of past crises, and the small but significant roles played by little spirits like John-John that helped to lift our own spirits during those difficult times. We are thus happy that destiny has chosen us, The Great American Doll Company, to play our own small role in helping to keep the flame of the memory of his life alive, and in the process, helping to keep the spirit of our great country alive—alive for posterity and for all the great American generations to follow.
