I showed her all three and asked her to pick and she hugged them all, so we ended up getting all three. I like that they are gender ambiguous.</p> <p>She named them Niddy (the Caucasian one), Magda (the AA one), and Yane (the... Asian? I can't tell.). She loves these dolls. :P</p> <p>[attach=2195/14/n8bkjx.600x600.image.jpg] </p> [attach=2195/14/n8bknm.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=2195/14/n8bkno.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls/page/2#post-1742156 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 21:00:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1742156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: I just saw your Mulan.

I never did get DD an ethnic/inter-racial doll and she's so into babies and pushing around her doll stroller. Surprisingly enough, she pushes her rat in it, not her dolls. Go figure.</p> <p>She has a 12" Corolle Calin and as much as I love the quality, I want something a little bigger. They came out with an ethnic version (Maria), but it's the same size as the one we already have.</p> <p>Which dolls did you ladies end up getting? </p> [attach=1448/14/n8bk6n.600x600.71dfu1abobL._SL1500_.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls/page/2#post-1284892 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 16:19:01 +0000 rawrasaur 1284892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up also getting LO this doll:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KDY4IM/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KDY4IM/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a><br /> I really love the quality of it. The tiara is removable, but the clothes are not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls/page/2#post-1142348 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:42:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1142348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I no longer trust myself to stash cute objects away from LO. I ended up giving her a stuffed animal I was saving for New Year's Day. I checked and they had those dolls at diapers.com (yoyo) it's a little more there but they usually have some sort of promo going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls/page/2#post-1142113 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 09:14:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1142113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: so cute!!!!<br /> I'm leaning towards the mooshka ones and just waiting for a sale on Amazon. The prices have dropped a few times but I can't decide if I want to just buy it or save for Xmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1142105 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 09:09:38 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1142105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's one from FAO:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/North-American-Bear-Princess-Brunette/dp/B002IWYLQM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1381414082&#038;sr=8-3-fkmr0&#038;keywords=rag+doll+fao" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/North-American-Bear-Princess-Brunette/dp/B002IWYLQM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1381414082&#038;sr=8-3-fkmr0&#038;keywords=rag+doll+fao</a> </p> [attach=1448/13/mugi03.600x600.here.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1142080 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 09:00:55 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1142080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: I have a day to figure out which one "she" (I) want.

I love that it is machine washable. I actually haven't seen it in person, though. I shipped it to my parents house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1142019 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 08:42:32 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1142019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's one for Jellycat that's kind of ambiguous. </p> [attach=1448/13/mugi5o.500x500.THIS.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1142012 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 08:41:04 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1142012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping. Just curious to see if you narrowed down a doll. I'm @rawrasaur: I'm leaning towards those Mooshkas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067434 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:53:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1067434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'd be surprised if there's 1 other inter-racial kid in school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067404 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:42:53 +0000 regberadaisy 1067404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: that's exactly it. If we live in NYC or another metro city I would not worry about this. But as it is I'll be surprised if she has more than a dozen non Caucasian classmates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067376 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:29:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1067376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And if I let her pick (when she's old enough to have an opinion), I'm afraid she'll pick the blonde because it's what they think is ideal around here. Interesting fact is that although a lot of the kids are blonde, most adults are dyed blonde. And most of the Swedish royal family all throughout history are all brunettes. *gets off her soapbox </p> <p>Hehehe. Sorry, I'm just having flashbacks of the "sweet" folk tales book I bought that ended up being pretty racist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067360 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 12:24:49 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1067360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I don't think you're putting too much thought into it. I live in a sea of blondes and blues, and I want DD to not feel like she has to be like them. I guess that stems from my own childhood - where there weren't many Asians around me or in the media. No dolls, no Memoirs of a Geisha, no Asian Charlie's Angels, no nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067164 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:14:28 +0000 regberadaisy 1067164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha def plan on that as well! She already gravitates more towards tools and such than stuffed animals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067157 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:11:47 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1067157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found these. </p> <p><a href="http://www.pattycakedoll.com/ethnic_biracial_and_hispanic_dolls?gclid=CPuE5oXStLkCFYKi4AodekIAzQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.pattycakedoll.com/ethnic_biracial_and_hispanic_dolls?gclid=CPuE5oXStLkCFYKi4AodekIAzQ</a></p> <p>I believe there are other companies out there making biracial dolls (does anyone smell a business idea?) </p> <p>I realized that I had a "moment" the other day when one of my MIL's friends sent her a blonde doll. There's nothing wrong with that, but it definitely made me stop in my tracks for a bit. I have this feeling hat DH's family will never buy her a Black doll, but maybe I'm projecting. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067143 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:04:54 +0000 looch 1067143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Also, what if she wants a boy doll? I wanted a baby boy Cabbage Patch Kid, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067131 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 11:01:09 +0000 sunny 1067131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my LO a Disney Animators Pocahontas doll hoping that it might look somewhat like her! My LO is half Chinese and half European so she doesn't quite look like Mulan or Belle (which were my other faves). Even if it doesn't look like her, I think she'll like it because it's a cute doll :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1067063 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:40:38 +0000 mrskc 1067063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: sewalong!

I dont know that they look mixed race per se but they have native american, asian and an african dolls. although to be honest I think its more abou their outfits than their actual features.<br /> I bought LO the african doll </p> [attach=1326/13/msns6l.305x600.haba2.jpg] [attach=1326/13/msns6n.500x500.habaas.jpg] [attach=1326/13/msns6o.500x500.haba-soft-doll-souri-3363-p.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1066958 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:18:57 +0000 regberadaisy 1066958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: haha maybe when she is older? But I do want to buy her a couple different ones so it'll be interesting to see which ones she gravitates towards. Yet there can be so many other factors that go into why she might like a particular one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1066948 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:17:37 +0000 Lozza 1066948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be curious as to what would happen if you showed your daughter a bunch of options either online or in person and let her pick- I think it would be interesting to see how important it is to her to have a doll that looked like her, and also to see which doll she thinks looks like her and whether it's one that you'd have picked as most resembling her too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1066942 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:15:50 +0000 immabeetoo 1066942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: depends how intricate I'd think- here is a simple pattern for free! <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/264299/black-apple-doll" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/264299/black-apple-doll</a></p> <p>I was just telling @runningelley we should do a HB sewalong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/inter-racial-dolls#post-1066884 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 09:54:29 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1066884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: I LOVE THAT!
