I mentioned in my Gwynn Tan review that I've gotten a little obsessed with 14-inch dolls lately, and so I decided to write a series of short (for me) reviews featuring this appealing size. The reviews will be cumulatively comparative...meaning that I'll compare each new doll to all of the ones that came before her. So I suppose the reviews will get slightly longer as I go. In any case, my intention is to review six dolls in this series (it was five, but I've already found another brand that looks great). I might take a few breaks to review some other things, too, otherwise we could be talking about nothing but 14-inch dolls for months!
Today I'm going to review a 14-inch Kindness Club doll by Madame Alexander. I'm especially excited about her because, as I've mentioned in some of my older reviews, I have a soft spot for the Madame Alexander company. I didn't have a huge collection of dolls when I was growing up, but many of the ones that I did have were made by this company--including my most cherished childhood companion, Baby Victoria.
The funny thing is, despite my affection for Madame Alexander products, I didn't even realize that they have a line of 14-inch play dolls until about a month ago. I stumbled upon the Kindness Club girls by chance during an online search for a completely different brand. I thought the dolls looked lovely in their promotional photos, and this girl (who has a very similar name to mine!) was an early favorite:
