I think earlier &quot;dolls&quot; like these tried to be lifelike and succeeded, to some degree. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yours absolutely succeed in being adorable - that&#039;s something the 50s kind of mastered.</p><p><br /></p><p>The in-betweens sometimes end up looking a bit creepy, like the &quot;lady&quot; above.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My sister&#039;s in-laws were very enterprising - when Cabbage Patch dolls were the rage, they attempted to cash in by creating &quot;Grandparent&quot; dolls. Somehow, they ended up looking a lot like her father-in-law, Max, who WAS adorable - but the dolls were definitely NOT!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
