About this deal

Their highly-maneuverable heads are really expressive, and I like that they don't have "bottle mouth" like Apollo. But for most kids, the joy of receiving a wrapped mystery gift is confined to only one or two times during the year. I think it's very interesting how, with surprise toys, it's not just the toy itself that is bought, but also the feeling of opening it and finding a surprise. That feature was a surprise to me, but I don't think it counts as one of the official ten surprises. Even as an adult, I find myself walking through huge Christmas displays, wanting to unwrap all of the decorative presents just to be sure there's nothing inside.

lol The oversize diapers on the Baby Born are pretty silly when the one on Marigold is tinier and actually fits correctly. His costume is ridiculously cute, and his head mold is more versatile than Apollo's since it doesn't have the antennae and crown attachments. I liked all of the dolls in different ways, I don't think I would have been unhappy with any of them. In addition, all three of the accessories played a role in the packaging and are great for enhancing play. This product for sale is the Baby Born Surprise Mini Babies Mystery Pack Series 1 with Cot and Swaddle.

The shape of this baby's mouth coupled with the surprise under his diaper reveal that this is a drink and wet doll. More than 24 million BABY born dolls have been sold all over the world since the market launch in 1991.

I didn't expect Gina to be comparable to the Baby Born kids, especially because of the underwhelming representation of the dolls on the box. It might not be fair to compare Marigold to the other surprise babies, but it's an interesting way of measuring the value of a surprise theme on the current market. Includes two or three babies with swaddle wrap and one bed, birth certificate and overview of the babies. If Mattel had packaged the Skipper Babysitters babies in a blind box so that you didn't know which of the three characters you'd get, and then included five individually-wrapped little plastic accessories, they could have put the dolls into bigger, flashier boxes and advertised them as surprise dolls.

There are little pink bows in the baby's hair, which suggests a girl, but there's no obvious gender reveal moment. A surprise toy with an option that's clearly better than the rest (maybe even advertised as such) is setting kids up for a *bad* surprise, which is the worst. It's nice to know that some of these surprise toys have thought and care put into them to make them good toys instead of just relying on the surprise factor to sell them.
