Doll Comparisons

My Disney Girl Doll

In the early 2000s, Walt Disney World began producing a line of 18" dolls similar to American Girl dolls named My Disney Girl, sometimes referred to as Walt Disney World My Disney Girl. They could be purchased at Disney theme park resorts and were part of the My Disney Girl Perfectly Princess Tea Party event package offered at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort. [node:read-more:link]

Lotus Onda Dolls

Doll and toy manufacturer Lotus Onda was established in 1972 and is the force behind the popular toothy, chubby-cheeked dolls distributed by Today's Girl, My London Girl, My Pal/ My Sibling, The New York Collection, Canadian Newberry dolls, and defunct companies like Gali Girls.

Kingstate Friendship Kids

Kingstate the Dollcrafter originally produced porcelain collector dolls in 17" or 19", but in 1998 they released a vinyl 18" doll collection called Friendship Kids that strongly resembled the company's porcelain dolls.

Then in the mid 2000s, the Friendship Kids were slightly updated with a new wardrobe to look less like their predecessors and more like popular vinyl dolls.

Harmony Club Dolls

Harmony Club Doll Lyric
Harmony Club Dolls is a relatively new doll company that has managed to survive in an extremely competitive doll market and emerge as a success. HC got started in 2012 by buying dolls wholesale from China, customizing them by switching out wigs, and then reselling them for a profit. Their original motto was "Peace, Love and Harmony." Some of the first dolls who were part of this "1st" generation were Arianna, Samantha, Makayla, Summer, Juli, Liberty, Alyssa, and Alexa.

Tender Hearts Girls

Tender Hearts Girl Isabella

In 2011, Paradise Gallery introduced their 18" doll line, Tender Hearts Girls. The line consisted of five individual dolls, brunette Emma, African American Isabella, Hispanic Maria, Asian Olivia, and blonde Sophia.

The dolls could be bought in either a plain clothes version which came with a cute puppy pal pet poodle, or in a Girl Scouts Junior version. [node:read-more:link]

Tollytots Tolly Girl

Tolly Girl dolls by Tollytots were introduced in the early 2000s and were sold at Walmart. They were actually a newer version of the dolls sold in the late 1990s. There were seven, maybe eight, original Tolly Girls: Jillian, Trisha, Tyra, Sunny, Quinn, Leah, and Paloma.

They were affordable 18" dolls similar to Our Generation dolls (with whom they are often compared). Opinions vary, but many feel the facesculpts were done well, with lovely expressive faces and striking jewel-like eyes. [node:read-more:link]
