Dawn and her friends are easy to find but not always in good condition. It is quite common for the articulation to fail. Also, the skin around the joints has a tendency to turn green with time. If those two perils weren't enough, like all dolls, Dawn was frequently a victim of little girl's blunt scissors.

Expect to pay $30-$40 for nice dolls. Some of the clothing sets and accessories are very hard to find and will command a premium price.
