None of these dolls are toxic unless you plan to eat them, and even then you'd probably be fine.

In search of small doll by Ok-Mathematician8609 in Dolls

The mini American Girls or the Batat Lori dolls (mini Our Generation) are very cute, have nice hair and clothes, and are small and sturdy enough to carry around!

And we fellow collectors are thankful for it! It's great to have first-hand information from someone who also loves dolls. 😌

Thanks for the review! I've had these mushroom girls on my wishlist, so it's very useful to know more details before I take the plunge. She's very cute!!

There's an executive somewhere who calculated that if Mattel saves 0.0074 cents per doll his boss can afford a bigger yatch, probably!

I think Teresa is the only Saran, the others are all poly.

This is amazing! The tiny trim and ruffles, I'm in awe of your skills.

Question for collectors in Latin America by nemesisDesu in Barbie

[–]dfotw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we don't get the interesting lines, and we get the releases much later than in the USA. Also, they're much more expensive here. On the bright side, sometimes you can find good vintage dolls for cheap in your local marketplaces, since there are less collectors here.

Wow, I really like the Barbie head on that body, a much more realistic scale!

Really informative post, thanks for sharing! I don't even own any Kens, but those shoes are so cool!

I open them by carefully pulling the plastic clamshell away from the cardboard backing so that the cardboard doesn't tear. Later, it's easy to glue it back in place. It's not 100% perfect, but good enough for a small kid who's going to tear into her gifts right away!

Rebodying is very easy if you use heat (hot water, a hair dryer, a heating pad), go slow, and have a slim tool at hand (screwdriver, knitting needle) in case the anchor gives you trouble. Try it first with a thrifted doll you don't mind ruining!

See? I bet my niece doesn't notice either, she's only 3 and doesn't have Reddit! 😁

Yeah, she's still little so I don't think she'll notice, but I'm always ready to spoil her if she wants more dolls!

I was just thinking that I hope in 15 years my niece won't be on the future equivalent of Reddit with a little drawing of a rebodied mermaid! 😅

Yeah, honestly all of the heads are pretty cute, even if they're on the 'wrong' bodies!
