About this deal

Careful if you do decide to repaint the skipper babies mouth, when I tried it, it made the plastic around the mouth dull, almost like a matte finish? I don't think any of them will replace my favorite 2000s Barbie babies, but its nice to have cheaper and easier to find options. But here I am sitting on my couch typing up a surprise review, which, if you'd asked me a year ago, is not something I ever thought would happen again. If Mattel had packaged the Skipper Babysitters babies in a blind box so that you didn't know which of the three characters you'd get, and then included five individually-wrapped little plastic accessories, they could have put the dolls into bigger, flashier boxes and advertised them as surprise dolls. A surprise toy with an option that's clearly better than the rest (maybe even advertised as such) is setting kids up for a *bad* surprise, which is the worst.

I liked all of the dolls in different ways, I don't think I would have been unhappy with any of them. Their highly-maneuverable heads are really expressive, and I like that they don't have "bottle mouth" like Apollo. It’s too much for Mini doll Amy to resist, and she simply has to dive right in with her rubber duck.Furthermore, I had a really hard time getting all of the water out of the baby once I'd finished testing the bottle. The pattern isn't super-clear (and it disappears again when the diaper is dry), but it looks like the "Lilipads" pattern, which means a September birthday. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. There are little pink bows in the baby's hair, which suggests a girl, but there's no obvious gender reveal moment.

Or perhaps it's just because mini babies are great little toys, either on their own as something to nurture, or as a fun new addition to a doll family. I didn't expect Gina to be comparable to the Baby Born kids, especially because of the underwhelming representation of the dolls on the box. I didn't really care if they matched each other--or even if they were a perfect match for their parents, but it was such a fun addition to any doll game. But for most kids, the joy of receiving a wrapped mystery gift is confined to only one or two times during the year. What I didn't mention in the review is that I also like surprise toys where I can't pick a strong favorite.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Its hard to find carriers for dolls that small and Gina comes with one that work would for a few sizes! More than 24 million BABY born dolls have been sold all over the world since the market launch in 1991.

My favorites were the Baby Born and Skipper's Babysitter baby in great part because they're playscale and I'm not sure a baby doll that small can be a standalone collection or toy for very long unless it's the baby of other dolls in the toybox. It's nice to know that some of these surprise toys have thought and care put into them to make them good toys instead of just relying on the surprise factor to sell them. In addition, all three of the accessories played a role in the packaging and are great for enhancing play. The most successful brand play concept of Zapf Creation AG is processes constantly and is enhanced by new, lovingly designed accessories. I'm a little worried that surprise themes are overused these days, but I can totally see why people put value on the mystery element.Each swaddle comes in a fun shape – an apple, a cupcake, an ice-cream cone… Which one will yours be? I wish that Marigold had neck articulation, and I wish her mouth and been painted more carefully, but otherwise she's great. Includes two or three babies with swaddle wrap and one bed, birth certificate and overview of the babies.
