My Trunk Set

Ok, I can't resist adding this.  Shortly after I finished the celebration outfit, and while working on the pre-senate outfit, there is this announcement by FAO Schwartz about a very nice doll set, with a 19" Robert Tonner doll, and the two outfits I was working on, complete with a trunk.  For $1200.  Or, $495 if you only wanted the doll and the celebration outfit.

I found this silver-grey trunk at Target for $15.  I've painted the interior black, and added hooks to hold costumes, and black shoe laces with a hot glue gun to secure the dolls for storage and travel.

Is their trunk set nicer than mine?  Oh, most assuredly, Robert Tonner makes fantastic dolls, and I'm sure they did a very nice job on the outfits.

On the other hand, is it $1200 nicer?
