Tommyg we are currently looking for a baby doll for our boy as he loves playing with them and we want him to have his own baby when ours arrive. Unfortunately they are all pink with a very tiny number of blue and we'd quite like a more interesting one so we're still looking.

But in the spirit of the thread, why not get him a pink one lol

Joseph has a little boy doll and he was horrified by it. My mum bought it for him in Belgium and he hated it and it scares me.

Because I hate pink! If I have a girl I will endeavour to get no pink if it can at all be avoided!

A lot of them do weird things too which is another problem!

Are the weird things the sort of things that belong on the shoe selling thread?

You do realise that if you hate pink sods law says if you have a girl she will love it and want stuff in every shade of pink don't you?

Thanks for the link btw but I'm after a fairly lifelike one, and preferably not blue either! Lol. There was a bathtime one with a yellow towel and a nappy but it seems only available in the states.

You're welcome.

How about this one on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Baby-Boy-Doll-...item2a0aedde60

Shoe selling thread?!! What does that mean? Lol

Yes it's a risk we run particularly once they start school but I managed to not grow up liking pink ever so it must be possible. When I was small I succumbed to peer pressure and asked for a barbie and ken. My mum got crystal ken and peaches and cream barbie at great expense fir Christmas and really I didn't like them. Hated barbie and could never get over ken's sparkly socks even as a very little girl!

Should've asked for roller skating Cindy which is what I really wanted. She would've made q good match for action man. I suspect I'm just not a big fan of anyone who is very iffeminate whatever their sex!

You know I haven't actually looked on eBay!

That one looks like a museum piece though. I was interested in getting an anatomically correct girl so he could learn that boys and girls have different bits but they all seem to be scrawny newborns for some reason. I'd like one he can take of, either bathing or nappies. Another bone of contention is they mostly come with bottles and dummies. While looking around I also found accessories of bottles with juice in!

Haven't you seen the shoe selling thread in GS? You've missed a treat, but I warn you it will take you all night to read and some of it is a bit out there. If you have a fondness for woodlice don't look for it.

Shoe selling and woodlice?! I don't often go in gs, when I spare few hours I might pop by.
