COMMISSION REQUEST Answers & Questions


Recently Noel Received hundreds of commission requests when an article was published about his work. As most were basically the same e-mail a decision was made to more prominently display the Commissions Page to address these issues and hopefully create a better tool for communication so that more people who are considering a repainted creation can answer these questions before reaching out to Noel. Here is that page and a link to that page as well http://ncruz.com/newsite/Noel_Cruz_Commissions.php.  Visit Noel's web site (http://www.ncruz.com) for more of his work. His site and all the updates and pages, graphics were created and continued to be updated by Steve McKinnis of http://www.stevemckinnis.com.

Commission Rates

Below and on this page are Private Individual Rates. IF you are with a company or corporation these rates do not apply to you.
Feel free to e-mail Noel to initiate a commission.

E-mail Noel @: noeling61@yahoo.com
Noel does not accept all requests submitted. All dolls painted are one of a kind (OOAK) and no two are exactly alike. Noel does not replicate or duplicate a doll already created. Often times a celebrity will be painted again and either auctioned or as a commissioned doll however, again, no two are exactly alike and the intent is never to duplicate a doll already in existence. Commissioned dolls have a set starting rate.

Rates are not negotiable.


A Note About Dolls previously auctioned by Noel

Dolls that have previously been auctioned on eBay by Noel Cruz start at that closing bid if it is over the $1,250.00 minimum commission price for 12 inch dolls or $1,250.00 for 16 inch dolls. Regardless of the type of dolls, whomever the celebrity is (like Jaclyn Smith) whether a 12 inch doll or 16 inch doll that celebrity will start at the cost of that closing auction.


For example, Farrah Fawcett was auctioned on eBay (the Farrah Fawcett that Noel Cruz repainted and listed on eBay 11/2012) for $2,025.00, Cheryl Ladd (11/2012) starts at: $2,225.00, Jacyln Smith (11/12) starts at:$2,225.00, and Kate Jackson (11/12) starts at $5,100.00
That is the starting price for a Farrah Fawcett commissioned doll in order to be fair to those that have purchased a doll that Noel has created and has auctioned.

Again, Noel may or may not choose to do that doll again. Noel prides himself on exquisite work but not on being an assembly line. He prefers not doing the same doll over and over again. So, please, if that is a doll you want, and it has sold before or been done and created before, feel free to submit a request but that request may not be accepted.



Dollars are American dollars. There is NO variance for any other currency and the amount is in American Dollars only.

Once the doll is listed you will not be able to purchase the doll under any circumstances.No monies will be returned as the money that is deposited for a commission goes towards the work completed. Simply deciding that you do not want to pay for the work does not mean you have a claim to any monies deposited and none will be returned.
