HA! I think that's just too darned funny.
I remember as a kid, when my older sister was that age, she was getting into Barbie dolls. Of course, she had a Ken doll too. It bothered her a lot that Ken DIDN"T have a willy. In a toy store, she found a GI Joe and stripped him down and found the same anatomical deficiency. She thought the idea was sick that people would make man dolls that weren't anatomically correct. I haven't seen it for myself, but I guess today's fix for that problem is that they have underwear that is molded right in.

There used to be a beer called Olympia that was brewed in Tumwater Wa. Their claim to fame was that the beer was brewed with pure water from artesian wells. About 25 years ago they had a promo running where they depicted the beer as being made by these sort of woodsy looking elves they called artesians. An enterprising outfit started producing a stuffed artesian doll that stood about a foot tall. He was a perfectly innocent looking forest elf who had frizzy troll hair and a long beard, which, when lifted, exposed a pretty good sized set of male parts. Used to get a lot of hoots with that one.
