World Kid Dolls Update!




Yay! Miss DollyMad was right with her information that World Kid Dolls are somehow related to Kelly. Apparently, my little beauties are foreign Kelly dolls. The Amazon book reviews are very complimentary, but the book is $89.95! And, alas, no copies at my local library, or on prospector. :-(

World Kids Dolls, Part Two


Well, here they are, all the way from Australia...Reena, Amelie, and Zuri's twin, Zina. As promised, the small leaflet of all the dolls available (24 adorable dollies) was included. However, absolutely no info on leaflet as to date dolls were produced, name of company, etc. I know from the packaging I received with the first set that the distributor was DDI, and that they were manufactured in China for Target. The dolls only have "Made in China" markings on the back of their heads. I wish that I had more patience when it comes to internet research!

World Kids Dolls

I ran across these cuties a couple of months ago and have since been trying to find info on these ever since. I am waiting for a package from Australia that has two more of these dolls--France and India. Miss DollyMad helpfully responded to my e-mail about these dolls and is also including a leaflet that came with the French doll. Dolly also told me that some people believe that these were made by Mattel as their bodies are very similar to Kelly dolls and the outfits resemble the DOTW Barbies. Anyway, I sent her an e-m yesterday, not about the dolls, but about the fires in Australia. I was so happy to find out that she is in Sydney, and not Melbourne, but still so sad for her fellow Aussies.

Of course, I had to name these dolls. So, I conned my boyfriend, who has always seems to have more free time than I do (his secret--no kids at home, just lovely, fun, grandchildren to go and visit), to look up appropriate names for each country. Here are my sweeties names--from left to right--Zuri (Africa); Nori (Japan); Kristjana (Iceland), and Chelsea (UK).
