I feel like I should call the last month or two of my life the Walmart Phase, because a lot of the things that I'm excited about lately are from Walmart. And I don't shop at Walmart very often. It all goes back to that tip about the LUV dolls being on sale for $7.50 (which they still are, btw). While I was investigating that deal, I found about six other doll lines that were either on an irresistible clearance sale or were simply too appealing to ignore. I really didn't need any fresh ideas for reviews, since I have enough dolls in my basement to last the rest of my life, but this is a good time of year to investigate some affordable dolls and toys that might be appealing to kids. The Hey Besties that I just talked about would make wonderful holiday gifts, and I think the dolls in today's review would, too.
I hesitate to call the critters in today's review dolls, though. That hesitation prompted me to look up the official definition of a doll, which is something you'd think I'd have done by now. According to Merriam-Webster, a doll is "a small-scale figure of a human being used especially as a child's plaything." So, yeah. These aren't really dolls, because they're definitely not figures of human beings. They're dogs:
