These are not like the dolls of our youth, as the intricate design of the faces are quite a far cry from the baby dolls when i was a child, forty years ago. Indeed these dolls have a whole different generational look as the development of more precise processes has allowed even toy design to reach into the twenty first century. There are no flaws in these dolls and their accompanying paraphernalia, clothes, pajamas and other accessories are of similar quality.

The premise of the dolls is that they are designed to capture a point in time during the history of the United States. Each doll corresponds to a particular period in the development of the United States. This is intended as much for a new way to connect young girls with their country's history as it is a marketing ploy.

Boys do not usually have a disconnect with historical matters. The cowboy and Indian subject matter along with the Revolutionary, Civil and World Wars tend to draw them close enough to get bitten by the history bug. Young ladies are a different matter and these dolls have a chance to make the bridge and draw the female crowd closer.

Accompanying books relate the story of each doll and how that particular character fits into the grand history of the United States.

If you were among the first to purchase the dolls you could only secure them by mail order. Thankfully there is more ways than that now as the online option has been developed to help meet the demand. This is a great convenience since you can look at the doll in an interactive way rather than look at a flat catalog image.

Also, with the online option your are not stuck waiting on snail mail delivery of a catalogue with the items you are most interested in. You can search for a specific doll or clothing set to accessorize for your intended gift recipient.

These dolls can be considered large, certainly 10 times the size of a Barbie doll. The manufacturer has taken great pains to deliver a quality product and you will want to make sure to take care of the doll as it can be a gift that will last a life time.

If your intended gift recipient likes to change around the outfits on herself or her doll you will find a great selection to add to your gift list. With outfits for every occasion or activity your doll lover will feel she is ready to dress her doll for any occasion.

There is also pajamas to purchase that match what the doll has. My daughter wore the same pajamas as her doll for several years until she outgrew them. It was a really cute thing to watch.

These dolls are best suited for at least a five year old child. At that age the child usually will understand that some things can break and will listen to your instructions about taking care of their doll. If you spend a significant amount of money for a keepsake you are right to want that keepsake to last. Making sure to gift to the right age group is one way to ensure the longevity.
