- the first "Barbie" doll
Bild-Lilli inspired various clones the first clones were the the Hong Kong Lilli dolls - they were cheaper versions of Bild Lilli not as well painted or finished. More ecently OOAK doll artists attempt to makeover Hong Kong Lilli to look like an original Bild Lilli. Hours of work can be spent getting the right Bild Lilli look. Julian Kalinowski from the UK is well known to collectors on eBay and Flickr for his unsurpassed work.
He named his creations "Lilli Lalka" which began as a Lilli clone but has evolved into a work of art and an
expression of her creators imagination and creativity. Lilli Lalka makes the occasional appearance on eBay
from Julian himself or resold by collectors. These OOAK Lillis by Julian were made in limited numbers all beautifully dressed and presented in Lilli style packaging.
