Laiko Real Teen Dolls a little-known 1990s fashion doll

Laiko International Co., Inc. was based in City of Industry, CA when it made its line of "Real Teen" fashion dolls in the 1990s. At the time, the website for the Laiko dolls was realteen-dolls.com. The website described their 14-inch Limited Edition Teen Doll as "young, pretty and...always dressed trendy (with) beautiful, long and silky hair."

The dolls came with different hair color, fashions and face paint, and some I have seen had stars painted in their eyes. They had big eyes, big grins and dimples. Fashions included plenty of shorts sets as well as some dresses with socks and boots for footwear. The Laiko dolls are a little over 14 inches tall and stamped on the back of the torso and back of the head with 1993 Laiko International Co., Inc China.

    LOVE these dolls! I have found some debated ones on eBay, but I'd love to own a brown-eyed blonde, a brunette, and a redhead, and, even though I'd more than likely de-box them, I'd love to be able to find them NRFB.

An Ocean Full of Mermaid Dolls  The doll that got me back into collecting Barbies as an adult was a mermaid Barbie . It's true I had been thinking about trying to replace the vintage dolls which were stolen from my mother's attic, and a friend had suggested I buy a reproduction Barbie , but the doll that lured me in was a mermaid - the 1995 Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie Doll , to be exact. I remember passing her in the aisle at Walmart and doing a double take. Until my old dolls were stolen, I hadn't spent time in the Barbie aisles in years, but I had just started thinking "replacement," and there she sat with her sparkling golden tail and the longest blond hair I had ever seen on a Barbie.
