My niece has asked for a doll of the barbie type for her bday. Does anyone know of any that have a more realistic body type?

Oh, I had barbies when younger and am not anorexic. Um, far from it!

Barbie hadn't had a boob job or lipo back then, she's a bit jordanesque for my liking these days!

Her clothes aren't as good either! My Barbie wore Balenciaga rip offs!

do they still sell Sindy?

How old is you niece going to be?

I love Lilydolls - as dressable as Barbie but much friendlier. Any good?

Aloha · 04/02/2006 22:57

Wow at the Lilydolls. I remember being off with chickenpox at primary school and my mum made me a most beautiful ragdoll exactly like one of those, but with an exquisite wardrobe including a chiffon kimono!

Sindy is almost as bad, still not as horrid as bratz teen sluts thou!

She'll be five, which might be a bit young for then but she's very insistent (whiney!)

I was tempted to get DD madeline but she was never really into little dolls, she still prefers her bigger baby dolls.

They don't seem to be easy to find now, but the yuckily named 4 Ever Best Friends have nice bodies, but the appeal of Barbie. You can still get them on the Toysrus website, and on eBay.

Lilydoll cool for five. I'd get one. Her mum will love you!
