My 2 YO son wants a "black baby" doll ; Where from?

Help!!

But first, that's how my son is describing it & I can't come up with a more accurate/politically correct description which will fit into the title space, I am not trying to offend anyone so please no one take any offence as it really isn't intended;)


My 2 year old son has decided he wants a "black baby" doll like the one he plays with at our mother & toddler group, I have no objection to him having one, but where do I get one from? There are no lables on the one he's been playing with & the group organizers don't know where it came from, I have spent the last hour & a half tring to find one online with no luck (tried all the obvious places : toys R us, ELC, argos, woolworths, ebay etc & just tried googling it too, no luck). It needs to be ethnic, have moveable eyelids (v. important:rolleyes:) & have a soft body. I don't want to spend a fortune (less than £15, pref. less than £10) & def. not a baby annabel type that cries etc, just a basic doll.

Has anyone got any ideas where else I can look?:confused:

Thanks;)

    Toys r Us have a few ethnic dolls online. I'm sure other retailers will too.

    I'd say he's more likely to have seen an ethnic Baby Annabell...widely available in toysrus, does the laughing crying thing...hth

    Thank you everyone, I don't know what you were searching under but you've found loads I'd missed:confused: Anyway, looks like I will wait for the 2nd ELC one to come back into stock as that looks the closest match:D Hopefully it will be available before his birthday next month...please keep your fingers crossed!

    Thanks again everyone:T, you are all :A
