1. 18 Inch
American Girl Julie Doll |
This
18 inch play doll is named Julie and is a full-bodied American Girl Doll - with vinyl arms and
legs.
Julie has a cloth body that is packed very well to keep her shape and she can
stand independently.
She has sleep eyes and a long blonde
hair wig.
In case you
didn't know, sleep eyes close when you recline your doll back and open wide
when she is upright.
I own her 18 inch sister, Gwen, that I enjoy dressing up. And, of course our
mascot Floppy is always near her side.
Julie is shown in the photo at
right. The book is included in price.
The line of American Girl dolls are made for a lifetime
of playing and I believe they are fine collectible dolls.
Moms and grand moms might enjoy
adding Julie to their collection, also. Highest recommendation!

2. Corolle
Calin 12 Inch Medium Baby Doll |
I recommend
the Corolle dolls, in general because I enjoy them myself.
I have the 17 inch sister, Helene, of the 12 inch Corolle
Vanilla Blonde doll.
Corolle Calin does not have
any hair which is not important to a toddler who has yet to use a brush on her
own hair. She has a softly stuffed body with vinyl limbs and she and her
clothes are machine washable. She has blue eyes that
open and close.
I should note that she and all Corolle dolls have a
slight vanilla scent imbedded in the vinyl to mask the vinyl smell. Be sure the
person this doll is intended for likes the smell of vanilla.
The photo shows the outfit she comes with - pink patterned top, pants and a
pink knitted sweater.
I highly recommend her for kids and moms and grand moms, too. In my opinion the
family of Corolle dolls are
collectibles.

3. Gotz
13 Inch Muffin Baby Doll |
Muffin
has realistic features, which you can see by looking at her wrists, fingers,
ankles and toes. Her torso is cotton and the lower parted is weighted like a
bean bag, to help her sit. She has rooted hair that can be combed and styled.
She's the middle sister in the Gotz Muffin Doll
series, and isn't she adorable! Muffin comes in a precious blouse, pants, and
pink clips in her rooted hair.
Like her larger sister, she can sit up and lie down, which I definitely feel is
an advantage with baby dolls.
Children can have fun spending hours dressing her up and playing with her. A
doll like this is lightweight for younger children to carry around and is made
to sturdy standards.
I like posing her amongst my other 'older' dolls in the Cyber Doll House. And
Floppy stands guard of the smaller dolls, especially.
She has sleep eyes - they close when she lies down, making them even more
realistic.
What little child wouldn't love to put Muffin to bed alongside herself for naps
or nightie-night? I know when I was a youngster I sure enjoyed my doll this
size and spent lots of time in creative play.
In fact, during my naptime as a little girl I used to sit on my bed and spend
that quiet time dressing and undressing my dolls and pretending they were in
little plays.
Dolls are such basic toys that children play with over the long haul without
tiring. I think a doll like Muffin is a good basic doll and certainly worth the
price as she continues to hold up, looking good for a long period of time.
Highest recommendation!

4. Gotz
16.5 Inch Maxi Muffin Baby Doll |
Maxi Muffin
comes with brown rooted hair when you buy her in a pretty pink outfit and
sandals.
Maxi Muffin is a great doll to play with and keep fresh and clean. She can be washed
in the washing machine. And being washable she can be a bath-time companion,
too. I love to dress and arrange my 16.5 inch Maxi Muffin doll with her friends
in the Cyber Doll House!
I really like that I can pose her
sitting and not just lying down as with some baby dolls. Her soft stuffed body
allows this flexibility.
Did you notice how detailed her body is with natural looking toes and fingers
and even realistic sculpting at her wrists and ankles, with creases in just the
right places.
The photo at right is a brunette Maxi Muffin.
I think you can tell from my glowing praise this is a doll that is worth the
money in creative play your kids can have with Maxi Muffin - making her a real
part of your doll family.
Highest recommendation!
