Zeenie Dollz are 13" articulated fashion dolls built around a theme of animal protection and environmental preservation. The dolls were designed by a mother and daughter team and introduced onto the market last year. At the moment, there are six characters to choose from, and they retail for a whopping $50 on the Zeenie Dollz website and for $40 or less on Amazon. The dolls are also available at Wayfair, Walmart (online), and a few other locations.
The Zeenie Dollz are called "Eco Warriors," and each has a character description focused on protecting some region of the environment. For example, the character named Kazumi is the steward of the polar regions. A portion of the purchase price of each doll is given to organizations like Heal the Bay, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and Greenpeace. The Zeenie line is manufactured with an effort to be ecologically friendly, which means that the dolls and packaging are made from non-toxic, recyclable materials. Initially, I thought that the dolls were made from recycled materials, which would have been awesome, but this is not the case.
A doll line with a nature-friendly, animal-loving theme is right up my alley, so I was eager to get my hands on a few of the Zeenie Dollz. In this review, I will de-box Yana (the protector of the oceans) and will also take a quick look at Evee (the protector of the skies):
