Inspired by Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane is one of the most literary and expressive figures ever created by the Simpich workshop—and a standout example of the studio’s late-1980s character work.
Introduced in 1988, this limited-edition piece captures Ichabod in a moment of quiet absorption, perched atop his horse as he reads, blissfully unaware of the looming folklore that surrounds his tale. The composition is unmistakably Simpich: narrative-driven, slightly whimsical, and rich with motion and personality.
The sculpting is exceptionally detailed, from Ichabod’s elongated features and thoughtful expression to the careful posture of the horse beneath him. His period attire—complete with tricorn hat, tailored coat, and riding satchel—is meticulously hand-painted in layered, time-worn tones. The horse, equally expressive, adds depth and movement to the piece, grounding the scene while reinforcing the sense of journey and story.
As with all true Simpich Character Dolls, each figure was hand-sculpted, hand-painted, and individually finished, ensuring subtle variations that make every example unique. The wooden base provides stability while framing the figure as a true display piece rather than a simple figurine.
Today, pristine examples are increasingly difficult to find, especially with strong color, clean surfaces, and intact detailing.
A remarkable piece for collectors of Simpich literature-inspired designs, early limited editions, or classic American folklore—Ichabod Crane remains as charming and distinctive now as when he first rode into the Simpich catalog.
Condition: Excellent | Rare
Graceful, bright, and full of springtime charm, “Kate” stands as a beautiful example of Jan Simpich’s creativity and quiet storytelling.
At first glance, Kate’s cheerful blue floral dress and pink ribbon accents capture the freshness of a spring morning — the season Jan envisioned her to represent. She holds a single flower in hand, her expression lifted with that familiar sense of Simpich optimism and innocence. Every detail, from the lace-trimmed hem to the soft bow at her shoulder, speaks to the care and craftsmanship that defined Jan’s work.
Born from a period of experimentation in the Simpich Character Doll Shop, Kate may have begun as an artistic trial, but she soon earned her place among the cherished Simpich creations. With her roots tied to Jan’s earlier Anne of Green Gables design, Kate carries that same spirit of imagination and wonder — an emblem of youthful joy and new beginnings.
The number of Kates produced remains unknown, though few surface today. Each one reflects the artistry and heart that made Jan Simpich’s dolls beloved across generations and around the world.

Limited Edition #633/2000
Edition Size: 2,000 (Introduced 1989)
A radiant companion to the beloved Victorian Skater, the Victorian Summer doll was introduced in 1989 as a warm-weather portrait of the same elegant figure. With the skates put away and a parasol in hand, she steps gracefully into the garden season — exchanging her fur-lined coat for a flowing summer gown, full of color, charm, and timeless sophistication.
Though her wardrobe has changed with the seasons, the sculpted portrait remains the same: this piece shares its head design with the original Victorian Skater, which was modeled by Jan Simpich in honor of her sister Evelyn Jane (“Pudge”). The legacy and emotional heart behind the piece — one of love, memory, and artistic tribute — carries forward in every version of this limited-edition figure.
Each Victorian Summer doll was dressed in a unique combination of print and solid fabrics in soft pastel shades: pink, blue, peach, yellow, lavender, and green. Hair could be either blonde or brunette, with matching blue or brown painted eyes. From her hand-crafted parasol to the fine detailing in her Victorian boots, every element reflects the delicate craftsmanship and attention to grace that defines the Simpich tradition.
A true collector’s treasure — both for its rarity and its story — the Victorian Summer brings warmth, elegance, and legacy to any display.

Some Simpich pieces are so special, I’d drive 2,000 miles just to bring them into our collection — and Florence Nightingale is absolutely one of those.

Very Rare Simpich Design / Designed by Robert Simpich
Rip Van Winkle is one of the most evocative literary figures ever brought to life by the Simpich workshop—a sculptural interpretation that captures both the humor and quiet melancholy of Washington Irving’s timeless tale.
Depicted in his legendary slumber, Rip reclines against the forest floor, overcome by exhaustion and time itself. His flowing beard, relaxed posture, and bare, weathered feet speak to years slipping silently by as he sleeps, unaware of the world changing around him. It is a moment frozen between past and future, rendered with remarkable sensitivity and narrative depth.
The sculpting is exceptionally expressive. Rip’s elongated form and dramatic pose push beyond traditional standing figures, showcasing the Simpich studio’s willingness to explore movement, rest, and vulnerability in character design. The textured ground beneath him—strewn with leaves and woodland detail—anchors the piece firmly in its Catskill Mountain setting, while the hand-painted finish brings warmth and realism to every surface.
As with all Simpich Character Dolls, Rip Van Winkle was hand-sculpted, hand-painted, and individually finished, ensuring subtle variations that make each example unique. The solid wooden base elevates the composition, framing it as a true sculptural work rather than a simple figurine.
This piece stands out within the Simpich catalog for its storytelling ambition and unconventional form. It is not merely a character portrait, but a full narrative moment—one that rewards close inspection and invites reflection on time, memory, and the passage of life.
A compelling addition for collectors of Simpich literary figures, early American folklore, or character-driven sculpture, Rip Van Winkle remains one of the most distinctive and thoughtful designs ever produced by the Simpich workshop.
