Perhaps it’s that a generation of kids raised on video games where they could create their own avatars, with whatever styling and gender they please, has helped open up the way kids think about identity. Perhaps the simple fact that more celebrities like Amandla Stenberg and Sam Smith are coming out as gender-nonbinary has made it easier for other young people to do the same. Generation Alpha, the most diverse generation in America in all senses of the term, is likely to grow up with even more liberal views on gender. I hadn't noticed that evil dragons were usually made male, but on reflection, I think you must be right :0 That's not fair at all! Those wigs! I tried cutting the excess off and found the vinyl too hard to cut easily. I thought they should have made it look like a head band if they were going to leave it so obviously showing. Why would they even do that?!

Mauve After the session, Dreger analyzed the parental response. “Adults get so tied up in the descriptions and definitions,” she said. “They jump to this idea of sexuality. They make themselves more anxious about it. For kids it’s much more intuitive.”The doll can have long hair or short, wear play clothes or party clothes, and crucially the child gets to decide if it’s a girl or a boy. The dolls are jointed, like an action figure, giving children more options for how to play with them. Being gender inclusive means accepting everyone, regardless of their gender identity or how they express their gender. That's exciting though! :D I look forward to seeing this mysterious doll when you review it! I wonder what it will be... My son said “I like how you can make it a boy or a girl. Well, it could be a boy or a girl either way actually.” He’s recently learned about the dancer Eric Underwood at school and his doll was soon posing in ballet moves whilst he told me all about him. I really like this line. I only have 725 (micro-braids wig) at the moment, but I'm hoping to get my hands on a couple more- they seem like they'd be great to customize! 725 (who I named Eli)'s hair being shaved on the sides and really short on top downplays the head size difference between these dolls and Barbies, at least to my eye, so they're the younger sibling to one of my MTMs. (That wig does not work, though, which kills me because it could be so cute!! Mattel!!!)

My daughter received a cluster of Barbies for her fourth birthday which she adored with all her heart. I felt torn. I didn’t want to be the parent to deny my child a toy they clearly got so much enjoyment from, but equally the highly made-up, scantily clad, anatomically-impossible dolls could not have been further from my scruffy four year-old in grubby playclothes. Never heard of this line before, but I really appreciate its existence as a nonbinary and genderfluid person myself. Toys can be so obsessively gendered, and this has always bothered me even as a kid. I would have loved to grow up with several dolls like this. Not to mention, the fashions that come with the dolls are fun and colorful, which is great to see when a lot of clothes today that are branded as "gender-neutral" are just plain brown or beige. I also think the potential for play is really great here, because kids can make many characters out of one doll to fit a variety of stories, regardless of gender. It's such a shame that the wigs do not fit right and are just plain bad in some cases, because I really like the idea of having dolls with rooted hair under wigs so that you can choose whether to give the dolls bangs or not, and you don't have bald dolls lying around like you mentioned about the Liv dolls. Still, these dolls will now have a special place in my heart, as I wish I could have grown up with a toy that treated gender-neutrality with such normalcy as these dolls do, if only the wigs were better lol.

I didn't buy many of those because they all looked like repeats of the characters from the larger sets. So I think you're seeing all but one of the characters in my photos.

What I love the most about this dolls, is the fact that the clothes fell like real clothes. I know that there is also only clothes boxes (I've got two) and special wigs.I would have sworn that I'd donated my Creatable World sets to the Goodwill when we moved last year. In the blurred flurry of clearing out the house, I let go of a lot of things that I never thought I would be able to part with. But when I was sorting through some moving boxes a few months ago, I found both of the sets! I guess they made the cut. It was extra-fun to find these dolls because I couldn't remember exactly which ones I'd chosen, and I love a good surprise!
