What is it?
This Retailer Exclusive doll is sculpted by Ping Lau and comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Made of a super-soft “Cuddle Me” vinyl that gives flexibility to her fingers and limbs, her pale ivory “skin” has a porcelain look but silky feel. Her palms, cheeks, knees and toes are tinged with blushes of pink. She’s 20” tall and is weighted to feel like a real baby. She has a soft stuffed cloth body and even her vinyl arms and legs are stuffed to make them feel more realistic. Her neck can turn and tilt, giving her a wide range of expressions. Her short blond wig is stitched to her head and is wreathed in a fleece headband decorated with cheerful fleece daises. Her radiant blue eyes are fringed with “real” upper lashes. She’s dressed in a white cotton blouse and pinafore edged with lace, a soft blue fleece apron splashed with fleece daisies, with matching booties and bloomers, and white socks. She has a special pocket in her chest for an included mechanism that sets her “heart” a-beating when a little girl holds her close. Her belly button is a real button, trimmed with a felt flower.
What We Thought
This beautifully made doll has the shape and feel of a real baby. An incredible amount of attention has been given to details that will warm the heart of any doll lover, from the dimples in Daisy’s elbows, to the soft painted highlights in her lips. Her matching outfit is cheerful, cuddly and fun for girls, while still being elaborate enough to satisfy a demanding collector. Even her little socks are knitted with a cable stitch.
Why They’ll Want It
Daisy’s big blue eyes, soft skin and daisy-splashed fleece outfit will attract attention from little girls or collectors looking to adopt their next baby. She’ll make a little girl feel like a real mommy, toting her around and showing off her super smooth skin and her lovely detailing. Little girls will especially appreciate how soft and squeezable she is and how she’ll fit into their arms almost as if she were their own baby sister. Kids will also like the fact that her head can tilt, so they can really “talk” to her. Collectors will appreciate the fine workmanship as well as the lifelike size and weight of this special baby. Grandparents, in particular, will want to give Daisy as a keepsake for their special little girls, to hand down the tradition of nurturing play to the next generation.
