Updates and Improvements

In 2008 the Ciao Bella body was switched to the new ver.2 body, which is slimmer and has a different style of hand sculpt. In late 2008, after requests from customers to bring back the old body, they allowed customers to choose between the ver.2 and the ver.1 (old) bodies. Some recent limited dolls have been sold on a ver.1-1 body, which was similar the ver.1 body with different hands, ankles, elbows, and knees. All new orders for the ver.1 body will come with the ver.1-1 body.

Currently the Ciao Bella standard line is not available to order, though it was stated that they will be back in 2010 with a "new look".
