> American Girl dolls are the best. The dolls and accessories and so forth are a little on the pricy side, but they're really, really nice (We're talking family heirloom quality here). Check out the link, then click on "On-line shopping" or something like that.

Ah... Some Japanese firm whose name I don't know, who can make a 'personalized' doll bearing your own features and wearing the form of a favorite animé character? Granted, this probably can't be too hard to make... I read toy buyers in Japan consider the 'ideal' doll to have a soft oval Oriental face and large, Bambi-like eyes. Many animé characters already look like that. Even those "American Girl" dolls come with ready-molded heads; one mostly has to choose the appropriate eye colour and hair colour and type.
