Barbie alternatives? Do you know any?

Barbie alternatives? Do you know any?

I was looking for fashion dolls that are barbie size but not made in China. Only hearts club are made in China also : (
Any other countries make a doll barbie in size that you know of?

Thanks!

Good luck! I had the same problem last year; even so-called "American" Girl dolls are made in China. I find that amusing. :0) I was able to find baby dolls and rag dolls made in the US, but not fashion dolls. If someone started producing them, their sales would be through the roof.

If your daughter likes dolls, she might like a dollhouse. Real Good Toys makes high-quality, easy to assemble dollhouse kits that are made in the US.

Not Barbie-style, not made in US, but not made in China:

Apparently, Groovy Girls are not made in China. You can also find some NIB Jenny dolls from the early 2000's that were made in Japan, not China.

Jenny dolls sound good. I'll look for some of those.

Yes I can't believe that American girl does are made in china. what the heck LOL
They do have a dollhouse already so we're good there.

Thanks!

I'm really bummed about the American girl dolls being made in China, too.
I started looking around and came across Fat Brain Toys and they have a nice selection of all American made toys. Maybe, you can find something there.
