Hello, welcome to mdvanii.com!
Thank you for bearing with me as I develop the website!
I am in no way affiliated with BillyBoy*, BillyBoy* Toys, or Surreal Productions, the creator and manufacturer of the Mdvanii doll. I am a collector, and hope to use this site to communicate with and share information with other collectors.
I will be adding photos from my own collection, as well as photos provided by other Mdvanii enthusiasts. In some cases, the owners of the dolls/outfits do not wish to be identified, in other instances I'll be giving the owner's name.

Does anyone know the name of this fabulous ensemble from Liberty of London? |
