I'm not much of a humaniod doll fan (I grew up with Beanie Babies animals); so, I wouldn't buy them for myself.

Then, if you didn't mind having an unarticulated doll who just has glitter and water in her legs, you could pay maybe $12 for Uni. On the other hand, if you wanted an articulated, wigged doll that talks, you could pay a bit more for Mae.
