What makes a beautiful doll? Is it the face or the costume? And do little girls care?
As doll lovers ourselves, steeped in the history and culture of dolls, we feel dolls are to be played with, handled and be-friended. We don't believe that dolls should sit on a shelf and be taken down only to be dusted once a month or so.
Precious Moments dolls are primarily for collectors. But by every measure that we use, she is a perfect toddler's doll! Sturdy, washable, rooted hair, sized and weighted right...safe for ages 3 and up and even priced in line with our other play dolls.
We will point out however, especially in Yoshiko's case, Precious Moments has duplicated the type of intricate hairstyle a tradidional Japanese woman might spend hours preparing to go along with her 'dress-up' kimono! This beautiful combination braid and topknot with hair jewelry would probably not stand up too well to the play of toddlers! That puts her in the category of 'Sunday Only' dolls. Yoshiko is dressed in a red brocade kimono with embroidered obi and molded geta and socks.
