My daughter wants a realistic doll for Christmas.
I'm hesitant to buy from Amazon as think the pictures are of the expensive versions and I'll end up with a poor replica.
The Ashton drake ones look great but expensive. Have looked second hand but their hair often looks a bit disheveled.
So are there any other good options to look at. Ideally under £100.
This thread is quite old now so some of the suggestions may be out of date, but if you’ve landed here looking for a doll for your child, we’ve recently updated our best dolls page with lots of great options, as tried and tested by Mumsnet users and their kids. We hope you find it useful.
