Further terminology[]
An excellent explanation of how dolls are sold to the toy stores is available on the following link (also Ever After High doll site) , there are also some terms that would be useful to know.

As an example of how the store received the Liv dolls, and using the above link, here is a Liv doll explanation. Let's assume 8 dolls were packed in a shipper (box) for the Making Waves release - there may have been 2 Sophie dolls, 2 Alexis dolls, 1 Daniela doll, 1 Katie doll, 1 Hayden doll and 1 Jake doll. If the Sophie dolls are not sold (i.e. they become shelfwarmers) then the store could order the next 8 dolls only after these two are sold - this would differ depending on the store size and the holidays.
