Lottie Muddy Puddles Outdoor Adventure Doll

Bought for my glasses wearing book-obsessed daughter for her birthday. She loves her! She even mentioned, unprompted, that this doll is “so much better than Barbie” and much sturdier (idk what the deal is but modern Barbie dolls seem to fall apart or break irreparably and their hair is no longer very good quality). The Lottie doll feels study, and her hair is shiny and smooth— very good quality! I personally love that she actually looks like a little girl and not some adult with…weird proportions (you know what I mean). I love the themes of the Lottie dolls, too. Great, inclusive and respectful representations for children. I plan to expand my daughter’s collection!

In a market flooded with weird looking dolls with impossibly enhanced female figures dressed inappropriately (to put it nicely) with faces painted with makeup, in comes Lottie. Lottie dolls have realistic child-like bodies, moveable limbs, and some have bendable arms (this one didn't, but I think the Karate one does). The clothes are cute and petite and made with what feels like decent quality fabric (no flimsy, fraying nylon). These dolls are of excellent quality. The body parts feel solid; Nothing feels like its going to fall off in a week. The clothes are awesome and super cute. You can buy outfits and accessories for these dolls, and if your kid is creative, some other toys' clothes might just fit too. The doll is about 7" tall... perfect for small hands. My daughter has been asking me for a doll for a long time. She wanted something with hair she could brush and style and clothes she could change and design her own clothes for. I didn't want to get her a Barbie, and definitely not a Monster High or Bratz doll (not even Equestria Girls... what are you doing, Hasbro?) so I searched online for something that "doesn't wear makeup" was "wholesome" and "more appropriate for little girls" and "doesn't wear high heels or short skirts". I then found a review for Lottie Dolls and was led to their website. Honestly, they should have been easier to find. The designers of these dolls need traction, especially in America where teen pregnancy is on the rise and five-year-olds are made to prance around on TV dressing and dancing like a... an adult entertainer. I feel like the toy industry and children's television producers are just a bunch of pervy old men. Actually, I'm almost certain they're a bunch of pervy old men. I'm far from conservative... let's just leave it at that, but I do value a child's childhood. I think children should be able to remain children during this short time (toddlerhood through age 11 or 12) and not be dressed in high heels, short skirts, makeup, and be called "sexy". Asserting ones femininity does not have to equate to becoming an object for male consumption. Let's allow our daughters be the little girls they are and discover our adult world AT LEAST when they've hit puberty. Come on, America... you're kinda being a creep.

I purchased the Pandora's Box Lottie doll because she had a really cute cat hat, as well as an adorable outfit, overall. I thought I'd see what these dolls were all about finally! Lottie dolls are indeed smaller than your typical 11 1/2" dolls like Barbie and similar fashion doll lines, but there are many good reasons why I think Lottie dolls are worth it: 1. The doll feels well made. The legs are similar to the old school barbie doll legs that snap to bend - it works very well and it was nice to see that sturdy material being used again on a doll. The plastics used are definitely nicer than I thought, considering so many dolls at this similar price nowadays don't anymore and feel much cheaper. 2. The clothes! I LOVE the clothing. It's actually made of fabric and not that plastic/papery material so many dolls get now. It may sound strange to be happy about clothing "made of cloth", but it's definitely a rarity. It's also nice to see separate layers (a jacket, hat, dress, tights, and rubber wellington boots) which all feel very soft and nicely stitched. There are even little buttons and pockets sewn into the coat, rather than just being printed on. 3. The themes of the different dolls are great and I really like the different activities each doll is themed after. This particular Lottie doll volunteers at an animal shelter and she's dressed well for the part! Lottie dolls are just adorable and have a wide variety of interests/themes that kids can relate to. They do have a different vibe than the mainstream fashion dolls out there, so keep that in mind - as well as the shorter height of these dolls. Overall I was impressed with the doll for the price point. Even though she is smaller, I definitely feel like she is better made with way more thought put into doll and clothing details. The quality reminds me that of what I played with as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. Oh, and I have to also say the packaging is so so cute - you'll want to save the box!

Pandora's Box Lottie doll is very cute with a pretty outfit. The quality of the clothing is comparable to other fashion dolls, although I would say that the material used is perhaps a little nicer than average. I'm not a huge fan of the detachable Velcro patches that some Lottie dolls come with on their clothing, and my daughter is confused by them since none of her own clothing has this feature, but some children may enjoy swapping the patches. The boots are pretty and can be worn with or without the tights. The tights themselves are a little tricky for my three year old to put on and she will usually ask me to help with this part (or just leave them off). The sleeves on the dress are cut well and, unlike some of the longer sleeved items in clothing sets, the dolls thumbs do not get stuck in the sleeves of the dress when dressing her. The coat is very nicely made and is lined, the only issue would be that the dolls thumbs often get stuck at the cuff when dressing and this can be frustrating for my child - I think that an older child would have few issues in this regard though. Overall I really like this doll and my daughter enjoys playing with her. The doll can stand well on any solid relatively smooth surface and can bend at the knee (for example, she stands on the table but not on the carpeted floor). My daughter likes the fact that the doll has a belly button and is flat chested. The arms do not bend at the elbow but they do have a good range of movement. The head turns from side to side but does not tilt up or down. The hair is well-rooted and smooths easily after being played with and really doesn't seem to tangle :) I will add that the skin tone of the doll is lighter than it may appear in some of the photos and that was slightly disappointing to me. I'm given to understand that the Fossil Hunter Lottie doll might have the skin tone that I was hoping for with this doll.

What an absolutely adorable little doll! She is so well made, with gorgeously detailed clothing. The clothes knock Barbie out of the water (and we love Barbie in our house, so I'm not looking for reasons to complain about Barbie). Lottie's face is very cute and appealing, with a bit of an anime look to her. About the only negatives I can find are in the construction of the coat - I would like to leave the coat open to show off the darling little fox shirt as the main promo picture shows, but the coat closes with a strip of Velcro, so when it is left open, Lottie's hair and other items she comes into contact with tend to catch/snag on the Velcro. The hood is also difficult to use because all of Lottie's hair doesn't fit under the hood and looks odd pushed forward over her shoulders. It's a shame as the little rabbit ears on the hood are so cute! It probably would have worked better as a separate hat to accommodate the doll's hair. However, this is minor in the grand scheme of things. This doll is wonderful and I'm so pleased with her!

We purchased our grand daughter her first Lottie (Autumn Leaves) doll for Christmas. She loves her and carries her along, everywhere she goes. She recently misplaced her Lottie Doll, so I sent her another one, with a different style (Pandora's Box), just in case her previous Lottie turned up. She loved loved loved her new Lottie Doll! She was also able to find her previous Lottie Doll, plus had used her Christmas money to purchase another one herself (Snow Queen). She now has three Lottie Dolls, all dressed differently, with different accessories. She has the puppy and the kitty and the picnic set also. I can't wait for more accessories to become available so I can surprise her with more. Lottie is made for little girls. She's very classy, sweet and innocent. She has the body shape of a little girl, clothes that are age appropriate for little girls, and Lottie also has accessories that fuel the imagination, for hours of fun and creative play. If you have a little girl that loves to play dress up, but you're not wanting the more "grown up" Barbi and similar shaped dolls, then this is your doll. :)

as an adult doll collector, im not really the target audience. however, even as a child i wouldn't find this doll particularly interesting. i would've much rather had a monster high doll or a barbie compared to a lottie doll. she's cute, and her screening is adorable but she doesn't match the pics 100% (the glasses included aren't the same ones in the pics, skin-color has a different undertone, ect). hair quality also kinda sucks, you can feel the glue. got her for $12 on black friday so im glad i bought her when i did. but lottie dolls seem to just be americanized licca dolls. just buy licca's instead.

Pretty Ballerina Doll yes was little expensive but So Worth It Well Made Package so Good ! bought for my granddaughter She is 5 , for her Ballet Recital , She loved it & her other ballet class want one Too 🙂 Don't Hesitate Money well Spent

These dolls actually look like little girls of eight or nine years, rather than mini adult wannabe's that so many of the dolls are now. I would have adored these as a young girl, and I love them now as a many, many years older girl. My one complaint is that there aren't enough clothes choices to buy unless one buys another doll with the desired outfit. I have three of the dolls and don't require another! People are starting to talk. Lol. I would recommend Lottie dolls to anybody with kids or grandkids between seven and twelve, or for friends who love dolls.

Lottie molto diversa dalle solite .sarà un regalo di Pasqua quindi ancora chiusa , ma dell esterno della scatola si vede che è molto graziosa .Come le altre che già ho regalato alla nipotina .questa è la sesta .....

Me encantan estas muñecas, esta en particular tiene el pelo algo mal cortado, de cualquier manera es muy bonita, creo que valían más la pena cuando rondaban los 600 pesos

Overpriced doll. Very small, and legs and arms dont bend just rotate. This doll should be $20 max

My niece is the person to review Lottie walking in the park but I know she will like it - its a special order from her to Santa
