MARKS:  Gene™  ©1995 Mel Odom.  Doll marked with number (her number of the edition) on her behind).

DATE OF PRODUCTION: 1999

CHARACTERISTICS OF DOLL:  Gene is designed by Mel Odom.  Doll is dressed in dark green woolen uniform with khaki shirt, necktie, "leather" purse, lace up shoes, garrison cap, hose and earrings.

PRICE:  $60 to $100 on eBay for MIB and NRFB dolls. 

COMMENTS:  Outfit and doll can each be bought separately from people who customize dolls.   Also available separately is a USO Accessory Package including a 48-star flag, trunk, travel stickers, USO sign, microphone, letters from GIs, and miniature "autographed" pin-ups of Gene. Gene is the very popular fashion doll introduced in 1995 and currently still in production.

MARKET REPORT: The bottom has fallen out of the Gene doll market in the last 5 years, with too much supply and not enough demand.  USO, however, has done better than the general Gene trend for value.
