Dolly Review: Lalaloopsy Girls Peanut Big Top

By Ashley Brooke, Kewpie83 @KewpieDoll83

Fun fact– did you know that Lalaloopsy started life as Bitty Buttons? Back in 2010, when the line debut, the adorable button eyed dolls with a rag doll look were called Bitty Buttons and were sold throughout that entire holiday season as such.  Shortly after that, Bitty Buttons dolls started arriving under the name Lalaloopsy.  Speculation is that MGA had to change the name due to copyright.  It was all for the best, though, as Lalaloopsy is by far a better name than Bitty Buttons.

Now, onto the review on hand, Lalaloopsy Girls Peanut Big Top!  Right from the start, these new adorable 1/6 scale Lalaloopsy’s caught my eye!  They truly are ‘sew’ cute!  It was tough choosing my favorite of the Lalaloopsy Girls, but after some deliberation, I decided on Peanut Big Top.  In a  strange way, she reminds me a lot of the current version of Pinkie Pie, from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

The Lalaloopsy Girls are made of the same hard material as the original Lalaloopsy’s. Peanut has dark purple hair.

It’s molded around the skull in a side part with two fun pigtails made of curly, comb-able hair made of pliable vinyl.  (It’s not the ‘silly‘ hair or ‘loopy‘ hair we’ve seen in the past.)  I like the style of my dolls hair, but I imagine you could style this pretty easily into braids or lower pig tails.

Cute Face!

The Lalaloopsy face really lends itself to this smaller size.  It’s adorable, as usual.  Her button eyes and round face make her stand out among other 1/6 scale dolls.  Peanut has baby pink cheek color and red lips.

Her 9″ body shares many of the key elements in your traditional Lalaloopsy body.  Her limbs are slightly over sized in length.  Her torso is, also, long.  Her limbs still have the usual ‘rag doll’ charm to them with her slightly bow-legged legs.  Her arms move just as freely as a Lalaloopsy doll, though Peanut is much easier to prop up for photo shoots!

Peanut wears a stylish outfit inspire by the circus.  Featuring a red ringleader-esc top and a striped black and white skirt, with some fun yellow tool finishing off the look, she radiates fun!  I love this outfit.  It fits her well and helps define her character.  Peanut wears fun pink sneakers, which are removable.

So cute!
