To read an article about dolls as gifts,

Welcome fellow doll fanatics. This is the bulk of my collection. For those fluent in Doll Jargon, the pertinent info is included.

This is a Val Shelton kit doll. These are WONDERFUL dolls with articulated arms and legs like the Middletons. I highly recommend them for those who wish to create an heirloom-quality doll at a significantly lower price. These guys are big enough to wear size 12-month clothes

This guy is affectionately known as “Kale”. He is from the Diana Collection Big Kids series. These are chubby 27-inch dolls that will have everybody doing double-takes, is it live, or is it vinyl?--even at the doll shows. The doll was originally dressed as a girl.

These dolls are great for children and sturdy enough to tolerate a lot of handling. I'm not trying to keep mine mint. I enjoy them too much. I have some L.Es as you'll see here, that are carefully kept. Generally speaking though; what's the point of investing so much money in something I can't fully enjoy?

A Diana collection, Dream Baby anatomically-correct, life-sized newborn. I named this one Natalie. These are all-vinyl. They come in both genders and many ethnicities as well as a wide variety of facial expressions.. They are also similar dolls in smaller sizes as well as non-anatomical dolls.

These can be taken into the bathtub, though you'll have to empty the water out of the body afterward As these guys are sculpted by a Pediatrician, the detail is incredible. These are also head-turners as they look very much alive

Another Val Shelton kit doll. I named this one Shandrina

More coming soon. Page under construction. We'll also be providing links to places where you can find these dolls online

These dolls are sitting upright with no stands or back support.
