on 9/20/2008 I am looking for a 22" (or larger) eegee (goldberger) doll that is in good shape so I can replace the one that I use to have when I was a toddler. I do however need the legs for a 22" doll that I had recently bought at an antique store. If anyone can tell me where I can find these dolls, please email me @ [e-mail]. Thank you!
