Autumn Leaves Doll

It’s much smaller than a Barbie, but it has a dorky look that reminds me of my sister so I thought it would be a funny gift for her daughter for Xmas.

In a market flooded with weird looking dolls with impossibly enhanced female figures dressed inappropriately (to put it nicely) with faces painted with makeup, in comes Lottie. Lottie dolls have realistic child-like bodies, moveable limbs, and some have bendable arms (this one didn't, but I think the Karate one does). The clothes are cute and petite and made with what feels like decent quality fabric (no flimsy, fraying nylon). These dolls are of excellent quality. The body parts feel solid; Nothing feels like its going to fall off in a week. The clothes are awesome and super cute. You can buy outfits and accessories for these dolls, and if your kid is creative, some other toys' clothes might just fit too. The doll is about 7" tall... perfect for small hands. My daughter has been asking me for a doll for a long time. She wanted something with hair she could brush and style and clothes she could change and design her own clothes for. I didn't want to get her a Barbie, and definitely not a Monster High or Bratz doll (not even Equestria Girls... what are you doing, Hasbro?) so I searched online for something that "doesn't wear makeup" was "wholesome" and "more appropriate for little girls" and "doesn't wear high heels or short skirts". I then found a review for Lottie Dolls and was led to their website. Honestly, they should have been easier to find. The designers of these dolls need traction, especially in America where teen pregnancy is on the rise and five-year-olds are made to prance around on TV dressing and dancing like a... an adult entertainer. I feel like the toy industry and children's television producers are just a bunch of pervy old men. Actually, I'm almost certain they're a bunch of pervy old men. I'm far from conservative... let's just leave it at that, but I do value a child's childhood. I think children should be able to remain children during this short time (toddlerhood through age 11 or 12) and not be dressed in high heels, short skirts, makeup, and be called "sexy". Asserting ones femininity does not have to equate to becoming an object for male consumption. Let's allow our daughters be the little girls they are and discover our adult world AT LEAST when they've hit puberty. Come on, America... you're kinda being a creep.

I purchased the Pandora's Box Lottie doll because she had a really cute cat hat, as well as an adorable outfit, overall. I thought I'd see what these dolls were all about finally! Lottie dolls are indeed smaller than your typical 11 1/2" dolls like Barbie and similar fashion doll lines, but there are many good reasons why I think Lottie dolls are worth it: 1. The doll feels well made. The legs are similar to the old school barbie doll legs that snap to bend - it works very well and it was nice to see that sturdy material being used again on a doll. The plastics used are definitely nicer than I thought, considering so many dolls at this similar price nowadays don't anymore and feel much cheaper. 2. The clothes! I LOVE the clothing. It's actually made of fabric and not that plastic/papery material so many dolls get now. It may sound strange to be happy about clothing "made of cloth", but it's definitely a rarity. It's also nice to see separate layers (a jacket, hat, dress, tights, and rubber wellington boots) which all feel very soft and nicely stitched. There are even little buttons and pockets sewn into the coat, rather than just being printed on. 3. The themes of the different dolls are great and I really like the different activities each doll is themed after. This particular Lottie doll volunteers at an animal shelter and she's dressed well for the part! Lottie dolls are just adorable and have a wide variety of interests/themes that kids can relate to. They do have a different vibe than the mainstream fashion dolls out there, so keep that in mind - as well as the shorter height of these dolls. Overall I was impressed with the doll for the price point. Even though she is smaller, I definitely feel like she is better made with way more thought put into doll and clothing details. The quality reminds me that of what I played with as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. Oh, and I have to also say the packaging is so so cute - you'll want to save the box!

Bambola veramente ben fatta, I dettagli sono tutti curatissimi, viso molto dolce e grazioso, abiti stilosi e curati fin nel minimo particolare. Personalmente la preferisco di gran lunga a tutte le altre, anche più famose, che si vedono nei negozi. Ne acquisterò sicuramente altre! La consegna è stata rapidissima, di diversi giorni in anticipo sui tempi previsti.

These dolls actually look like little girls of eight or nine years, rather than mini adult wannabe's that so many of the dolls are now. I would have adored these as a young girl, and I love them now as a many, many years older girl. My one complaint is that there aren't enough clothes choices to buy unless one buys another doll with the desired outfit. I have three of the dolls and don't require another! People are starting to talk. Lol. I would recommend Lottie dolls to anybody with kids or grandkids between seven and twelve, or for friends who love dolls.

Lottie molto diversa dalle solite .sarà un regalo di Pasqua quindi ancora chiusa , ma dell esterno della scatola si vede che è molto graziosa .Come le altre che già ho regalato alla nipotina .questa è la sesta .....

Me encantan estas muñecas, esta en particular tiene el pelo algo mal cortado, de cualquier manera es muy bonita, creo que valían más la pena cuando rondaban los 600 pesos

Unsere Tochter (6) hat sich sehr zum Nikolaus über diese Puppe gefreut sodass sie es garnicht abwarten kann das es endlich wieder Geschenke gibt weil sie eine weitere davon haben will Qualität ist gut und sieht auch sehr robust aus
