I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall: somebody who says "THIS IDEA SUCKS! YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ANY MONEY!"
Meanwhile I will have a family conference: "Is this something that we would do as a home based business?" Not hand-made figures as collectibles, but mass produced dolls that little girls can make friends with.
My youngest daughter loved the American Girls series, and always begged for one, which we could never afford. So our version would have to be less expensive.
The product would also have to appeal to both Jewish and Christian customers. I would prefer a Christian partner to recommend and design the Christian History girls.
I like the idea of historical dolls of different nationalities that little girls can identify with. I have two Russian granddaughters with a very deep Russian heritage, and a Canadian girl who shouldn't feel left out.
True! Two of my granddaughters are half latina! My oldest granddaughter has a AG Bitty Baby that she got at age 2 and has loved that doll to death. It goes EVERYWHERE she goes! I'd like to get the other two granddaughters baby dolls like that for them to love until they are old enough to take care of a doll with lots of hair.
I think it's a marvelous idea! Go for it!
