Apr 1, 1999/ FW/ --- Where do mannequins go when they retire? The unlucky ones gets thrown
to the dumpster, while the lucky ones find a home with collectors.
Leia is one of the lucky ones. A smiling Decter mannequin manufactured during the 70s
is a gem of a prize for a collector. There are very few smiling mannequins around, and since
Decter had changed ownership since Leia was manufactured, chances are the mold for her no
longer exists.
This is also a lesson on how a mannequin can change looks by just changing their wigs and
using accessories. Here are the Many Faces of Leia, the Smiling Mannequin.
