Our Generation Dolls -

Our Generation Dolls - One of the most popular presents many people will be searching for are the Our Generation Dolls series. Most little girls want this as their first 18" doll.


The Our Generation Doll line was first introduced by Battat for the Target store chain in 1998. When they first came out they were known as Autumn Harvest Dolls and quickly changed to the now popular Our Generation Dolls as they are known today.

Our Generation Doll are not like your Grandmother's Dolls


These dolls are often a girls first 18" doll as they are relatively inexpensive and of fair quality. They are soft bodied dolls with plastic vinyl limbs that can often be bent into different poses. The main selling point for the Our Generation Dolls line is the amazing variety of accessories and clothes available.


These dolls are play dolls meaning they are not of the collector quality of some counter parts like American Girl. Dolls like American Girl, are of the collector type and can start at around $200. The Our Generation Dolls, are in the $20 - $30 range but when you think about clothing and accessories, can add up to quite an investment. Plus, most young girls want to be able to play with their dolls, not put them on a pedestal and admire them. We can leave that to the grown up girls :)



The thing that separates these dolls from your Grandmothers dolls are, as the names suggest, they are made for our generation. With names like Robyn, Mary Lyn and Sunnie, these dolls are ready go to a party, volunteer at the pet shelter or ride their horse.
