So DD is turning 3 so I have bday and xmas to shop for. She is getting more into dolls and just has her Gotz Muffin (and her Ghetto Cabbage Patch Kid which I'm hoping will "accidentally" get lost). I want either a Gotz or Corolle b/c of the phthalate thing. In deciding on a new one I guess I have a few considerations:
1. What size? I have had a hard time finding clothes for the 13" Muffin that aren't totally expensive. TRU & mass market doesn't seem to make clothes for smaller dolls. Seems like most of the clothes are in the 16-19" range?
2. hair? DD seems to want hair; I know it can get scraggly, so am I ca-razy? Are there some that are better than others?
3.of course I want all of these features too (yeah, that'll happen)
a. Gotz or Corolle b/c of phthalates
b. Not interactive (that Corolle Lia thing kinda creeps me out with that reactive voice that sounds older than DD); othwerwise, not sure how I feel about random cooing
c. No paci/thumb/open mouth
d. not super $$
e between 15-20"
f. probably something that can sit up OK (her other baby can't really participate well in tea time, snack time, etc)
some ideas: Miss Corolle (Classique 17"), Gotz Maxi Muffin 16" , Gotz Precious Day Girl 18"; The Precious Day one says it fits American Girl
clothes, but I don't know if you can get those cheap anywhere.
If you made it this far, thanks so much! I'd love any input! All my friends have boys or younger daughters so I'm pretty clueless.
