Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 TOYS R US is the only toy store carrying them at this time. I read that on a doll site that I belong to. They are absolutely adorable. They have several pieces for each, including removing the head and attaching it to another body. These other bodies are considered a " new outfit " . They have phones, tables, couches, televisons, a dog who can hold his own bone (magnets), and even a car. The one with the car has one shortie doll and nothing else. That is $9.99. The others (3) have the other items and the interchangeable bodies, and they are $14.99. There is GIA, NIA, and I cannot recall the other two names. -Debi Hoggan, mom to Mandy, who even at 23 loves them! " Bruce F. Bachmann " <bfbmrb@...> wrote: Mattel is the maker of the Shorties Dolls.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Ok People, What's all this talk about a dwarf doll that's out there?? So is this something that is favored, and not something that is making fun of us by chance?? I'm just asking, and not stating this, for those wanting to attack, lol. But these dolls are really fashioned after us, or they are sort of like the Brat Dolls, big heads and small bodies?? Or are they more like a Cabbage Patch Doll?? Since I have an 11 year old, I don't frequent the Doll Section of Toys R Us any more, unless the Game Boys are right next to them. So these are actual dolls that are dwarfish, or are dwarfs?? And please, let's hope children don't run up to us and try to pull our head off, since these dolls offer this, lol, ok.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Other than the title of the dolls, I don't see how a child would associate the dolls with people with dwarfism. I wouldn't be concerned that " children will run up and try to pull our heads off " . At a glance, they look like a doll...they actually look like a copycat of the Bratz dolls, in my opinion. They are just another toy with a name that is supposed to be cute. Fisher Price has toys called " Little People " and kids love them. I've never had child come up to me thinking I was one of those Fisher Price dolls. You can look at them on www.Amazon.com , look up " Shorties " under toys and games and you can see what they look like. a > > Mattel is the maker of the Shorties Dolls. > > They are also available and can be seen at E-toys.com > > > > who makes Dolls? > > > > > > > > > just curious what manufacturer is it for the new dwarf dolls, > > " Shorties " ? > > > and you seen them in what stores already? > > > > > > Thanks for your help > > > Sherry Heyman > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > > Don't just search.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Rob, the dolls are only about two inches or so tall. They are quite cute really. Mandy, who is 23, loves them. I think someone came up with a cute idea. I really do not think they were meant to offend anyone. They are small dolls, and Mandy tells me they look achon to her.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 This reminds me of something funny my 6 year old said not too long ago -- he is starting to understand the words " dwarf " and " little people " and recently learned what Little People of America is. (Although he is 6, we didn't learn about his dwarfism -- or that it is a form of dwarfism -- until the last year or so.) He recently asked if we could play the " LPA game " -- I had no idea what he was talking about, so he told me it was Chutes and Ladders. Sure enough, on the side of the box, Chutes and Ladders has the tag line " The big game of ups and downs for little people.
