To be annoyed that in 2014 i cant find a Black doll

[Serendipity30]

Thats it really, does anyone know where i can find one that looks nice and wont cost a bomb. Not a baby doll please.

Completely off thread but my parents bought me a black baby doll one xmas, I was probably 2 or 3.
I think it was very forward thinking in the 1960's
Me too, I wonder if we had the same one? Mine had eyes that closed when she lay down and stiff bristle eyelashes. Wonder if she's still in my dad's loft?

I remember this one from my youth www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004E2YV1O/ref=redir_mdp_mobile it has afro hair, may be able to find it cheaper on eBay.

It was a barbie called Nichelle

Cundt I didn't gave to look hard to find one for my dd.

I've seen them everywhere(online and in shops)and we live in a Devon,hardly the multi cultural centre of Britain.

As an aside Corolle Les Cheries Cecile is gorgeous.

Ebay link to Nichelle for 22 quid m.ebay.co.uk/itm/131177166354?nav=SEARCH

That said Argos Design a Friend need to get their finger out.

The American girl dolls are beautiful & come in different skin shades & with different hair. We had a Corolle baby too when my dds were little.

I was going to say American girl. But beware - could become a veeery expensive hobby. Look on ebay or My Doll boutique for UK supplier.

I think the Afro Caribbean hair is an issue as it doesn't brush easily.

My dd's Cecile has Afro Caribbean hair however she can't brush it,the new ones have straight hair.It's a shame they don't still have both but maybe it's due to customer feedback.

MoreThanPP and Pixel, I too had one long ago - in the late 1940s. You have got me wondering where Mum got him from (I am sure he was a boy doll) and wishing I still had him. He was probably pased on to my nieces and long lost.
