Will always love Anne for saying this 😂 (From a letter to Paul Crees, soliciting the creation of a Lestat doll)

And in case you want to see it, this is the "cosmic humour" smile Crees and Coe came up with:

Lestat doll for sale on Etsy from NACollectiblesNY

$499.00

Lestat stands dramatically draped in his full length red cape with red lining at approximately 27 inches tall. He was produced in a limited edition of only 500 no box.

Anne Rice had commissioned 500 vinyl dolls in the 70s, a collaborative effort by the British doll masters Paul Crees and Peter Coe. Mohair wig and eyelashes, faux fur-lined cloak, faux leather boots, silk and brocades for the clothing. You can find these on eBay now, the prices are all over the place, but still $300+, and some even still have their original coffin-shaped box! There’s a Louis and Claudia doll too.
