Daringly Realistic Dollies

The JC Toys Newborn Dolls are True to Life

— May 28, 2012 — Life-Stages
Though some may consider them eerie, these JC Toys Newborn Dolls are amazingly realistic. These toys are exceptionally well-designed with their intricate facial expressions and adorable outfits.

Complete with hospital tags, these dolls are extremely true-to-life. Available with a number of poses and facial expressions, buyers can choose between boys or girls when purchasing one of these dolls. More expensive than your average cartoon-like depicted baby toy, these ring it at around $60 and are made of vinyl. For an avid doll collector or baby lover, these would be an amazing gift worth every penny. Arguably targeted toward a more adult audience than most dolls, these are a standout item in a sea of porcelain.

Though their remarkably realistic appearance may be off-putting to some, these babies are as cute as the real thing. Sure to spark the interest of collectors, these are already sold out and are sure to increase in popularity.
Trend Themes
1. Realistic Dolls - The trend of creating realistic dolls with intricate facial expressions and true-to-life outfits provides an opportunity for companies to tap into the adult collector's market.
2. Expensive Toys - The trend of producing high-priced versions of traditionally cheap and mass-produced toys provides an opportunity for companies to market to adult collectors who are seeking unique pieces for their collection.
3. Gender-specific Toys - The trend of selling dolls in gender-specific categories provides an opportunity for companies to tap into the market of parents and collectors who prefer traditional gender roles in their toy selections.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - The toy manufacturing industry has an opportunity to tap into the collector's market by focusing on creating high-quality, realistic, and unique versions of traditional and mass-produced toys.
2. Collectible Industry - The collectible industry has an opportunity to market these realistic dolls to adult collectors who are seeking unique and valuable pieces to add to their collections.
3. Gender-specific Toy Industry - The gender-specific toy industry has an opportunity to create more unique and realistic toys that appeal to the traditional tastes of some parents and collectors.
