edited 16 October 2011 at 4:45PM in It's gone, but was it any good?
**UPDATE** Could people post what they thought of doll when collected to help others. Thanks. **
**ALSO NOTE doll does not come with certificate of name and there is no mention of name on box or doll incase say your buying Sophie for a child named Sophie. Most of us have printers so could print a wee personalised certificate with name on and stick inside box. Could even laminate a wee card and attach round wrist with a bit of pretty string**

As title states. I ordered 2 dolls,2 outfits and 2 accessories at £19.97 this morning. Was in stock for delivery and instore locally but now seems to be going o/s. You may question why i post if going o/s. The reason is they are a must for any girl.
FOR ALL MUMS(and dads) out there that are fed up getting your child toys that are expensive and poor quality i cant recommend these enough! I cant believe what you get for your money and quality is fab.
Each doll comes in a stylish pink box with outfit on.
Bracelet for child in box with each doll.
Doll has a realy cute face, very pretty.
Arms and legs moveable.
Soft body and doll has nice weight.
Hair is amazing, not that horrid cheap hair that gets matted. Dont know what they have used but its better than mine. (im fed up getting dolls with cheap hair that only looks good when new)
Each outfit comes in box with additional charm for bracelet.
Each accessory comes in box.
All boxes have tissue paper in.
No need to wrap as box is a pretty gift.
Found some photos on web as my camera down

I sound like im working for chad valley, but im not believe me. I just cant believe the quality of the dolls.
No doubt once popular, quality will go down hill.
I'm trying to get other two dolls now. Hubby says no chance now if you post on MSE:rotfl:

    Coming up £29.97 for me.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
  • oh i love that you can get one with glasses !. so sweet. my daughter had glasses from age 2 and had patching. this doll would be perfect for helping children going thorugh that.

    Thank you so much for posting this. So many dolls out there and it's a minefield and so many are rubbish quality or tarty dolls. These look great and review very helpful!

    I very nearly missed the fact that youcan buy 3 items for £19.99 and nearly bought the doll alone for £14.99. I bought the Freya doll as a Christmas present for our friends daughter, Freya,so hopefully it will mention her name somewhere on the packaging
