With the aid of a crowdfunding campaign, Megadolls is introducing kids to the next generation of paper dolls with diverse, body-positive figures that can be dressed front and back.
Inclusivity and affordability are at the core of bringing Megadolls to life so the brand is introducing itself with a digital site first. The kickoff collection introduces Dolls from Around the World, plus the "free download of outfits per day" Shero Collection. This collection helps more kids see themselves represented with dolls that have hyperpigmentation, hirsutism and missing limbs. For the future, Megadolls is also working on a collection of boy dolls.
With a subscription, members get access to downloads and printables that are ready to be cut out and styled.
