You want my opinion though... Noelle's mini should have been the Target exclusive (as all minis are) and they should have given her a large doll exclusive to Toys "R" Us.... push Dotty aside and just add her into an upcoming assortment. Basically, handle her like they did with Holly and even Ivory. Release the Christmas character as both large and mini around the same time, we really didn't need Dotty as an exclusive character like how she turned out. I mean I personally wouldn't buy a large Noelle doll, but I'm just saying that would sell better than just a random character like Dotty... also Dotty was released fairly early.... the limited edition exclusives usually come out in like Sept/Oct.... that's when Holly and Snowy came out. But yeah, a Christmas character as a mini and a large doll would sell graciously around the holidays.
