Here's the middle sister in the Gotz Muffin Doll series, and isn't she adorable! Muffin comes as in the top photo in a precious sweater, pants, and pink bows in her rooted hair.
I have included a photo below of Muffin in a dress I designed and have included for you to make on the Doll Making site here.
Like her larger sister, she can sit up and lie down, which I definitely feel is an advantage with baby dolls.
Children can have fun spending hours dressing her up and playing with her. A doll like this is lightweight for younger children to carry around and is made to sturdy standards.
I like posing her amongst my other 'older' dolls in the Cyber Doll House. And Floppy stands guard of the smaller dolls, especially. If you're looking for an even smaller doll here is a link to the 8 Inch Gotz Mini Muffin with hair.
Muffin has realistic features, which you can see by looking at her wrists, fingers, ankles and toes. Her torso is cotton and the lower parted is weighted like a bean bag, to help her sit. She has rooted hair that can be combed and styled.
She has sleep eyes - they close when she lies down, making them even more realistic.
What little child wouldn't love to put Muffin to bed alongside herself for naps or nightie-night? I know when I was a youngster I sure enjoyed my doll this size and spent lots of time in creative play.
In fact, during my naptime as a little girl I used to sit on my bed and spend that quiet time dressing and undressing my dolls and pretending they were in little plays.
Dolls are such basic toys that children play with over the long haul without tiring. I think a doll like Muffin is a good basic doll and certainly worth the price as she continues to hold up, looking good for a long period of time.
Highest recommendation!
