Raggedy Ann Reviews

Ann was purchased to accompany her brother Andy who has been my son's favorite toy since birth. Ann is new, but her brother (made by the same company) has survived two years of constant companionship,dozens of runs through the washer and dryer, and even one overly playful dog. AS far as educational, I belive my son was drawn to these dolls from infancy becasue of their bright primary colors. I highly recomend the "classic" Ann or Andy because they have embroydered faces and durable button eyes. It adds to the magic of this timeless doll.

I have about 35 raggedy ann dolls and the oldest raggedy ann doll i have is from 1918 it is a reproduction. I study old raggedy anns but I now what is new to.this raggedy ann is not like the ones made by volland company in 1918.I am a member of the raggedy ann museum.I will be doing more raggedy ann reviews soon so keep looking

Of all of the Raggedy Ann dolls currently available, this relatively inexpensive version is the doll closest to the classic Johnny Gruelle look. With real yarn hair and solidly stitched-on clothing, she is safe for even the youngest Raggedy fan; her eyes are screenprinted with no real buttons to come loose. Light weight & durable, she is no collectible... but she sure can withstand repeated laundry washings, looking cheerful as ever!

Hello World!
I'm holding my Raggedy Ann doll while I write this. Here's my story!

I got my Ragedy Ann doll when I was about 10. I had some money on me & got her in a local drug store. I am a big fan of hers & watched her on tv & read her books, but never had a doll. So I was excited when I finally got 1.

I always known how she came about & one of the old tales said that the original dolls had candy hearts sewn in. Well, when I got mine, I hugged & squeezed, poke & patted, but never found 1. I was kinda disappointed, but loved her anyway.

Well,I'm 17 now & just today, when was taking off Ann's clothes to wash them, I found something new.

On her chest, right over her heart, there's a red painted heart thst says "I Love You" in it! <3

this raggedy ann is great! every child should have one. she has a nice classic look, and is very durable.

I have an 8 month old grandaughter and came across this doll one day while looking at toys for my 3 infant grandchildren. I remembered having 1 when I was a small child and also bought them for my 3 daughters so---had to purchase this for Jamie.It arrived when 2 other grandaughter's were here, ages 6 and 8 and they both fell in love with her. So----I just had to get 2 more and they still love them. They both sleep with their dolls at night. I'd never seen this particular one before and she is really sweet. I'm sure there's no educational value but---it does remind one of a sweeter more innocent time and even with all the new toys and computer games, its so nice to see that something as sweet and simple as this doll can still be enjoyed by little girls today. The price and the sweetness of this doll makes her a good buy and seeing todays children enjoy something thats been around since my childhood (I didn't think this would be possible) is a great big plus.

My daughter just received this for her 1st birthday. She absolutely love it. I like it because there are no small parts for her to choke on and she is soooooooooooooo soft. She is the perfect addition to any girls room.

i love this doll she is soooooooooooo cute! i think any girl aged 10 and younger would really injoy this doll.even my parents have to edit that she is really cute (and they dont really like a lot of toys wich means this has to be the best doll ever i love her spend your money on this!!!!!!

I love the Raggedys and had the red-haired version as a child. This doll holds the same classic charm, but if the makers are marketing it to an "ethnic" consumer, which? It just looks like the same Raggedy with dark hair and eyes. Please educate your vendors to sell more realistic representations to the ever-growing "ethnic" market. Our kids see enough (what? "non-ethnic" representations) on TV. It's important that the dolls actually look ethnic if they are to be called ethnic, but dark hair and eyes do not an "ethnic" doll make. Got a brown-skinned Ann? An Ann with an Afro or braids or dreadlocks? Got an Ann with pretty Asian eyes? I'd buy any of those, but would not confuse my chocolate nieces with a doll that really doesn't look like them. Sorry.
