I was somewhat skeptical about this doll even after reading the reviews. My daughter had originally wanted a full body silicone doll but they are very expensive. After over a year of searching and reading reviews my daughter chose this baby.
She is so much cuter in person. Her hair is soft and well rooted. Her eyes are nice and clear and realistic. The way she is weighted makes her feel real. Her skin is soft and smells like baby powder. Her toe and finger nails are very detailed. All of her features are as close to a real baby as you could get with a doll.
My daughter loves her so much! We did not have any of the negative issues that some of the other reviewers had.

I fell in love with Little Peanut's adorable face online and I was not disappointed when she arrived.
It's not all perfect. Just like many have mentioned, her hair is kind of crazy. In some of the pictures I've seen online her hair is straight, in others it's more or less curly. My Peanut's hair started out very curly, only quickly to turn matted in spots and frizzy elsewhere, and everywhere it's thin enough that her head looks a bit like a very bald man with his first set of hair transplant plugs... I wish mine had the straight hair is so I could brush it down a bit onto her forehead to make her tall forehead seem shorter and hopefully cover the very visible rooting holes around her precious face.
But, a hat solves it all, and that face is worth the price!

Her hands are adorable, and her feet are absolutely squeal-worthy! I hate putting socks on her feet, they're that cute.
Her eyelashes were crazy long! I'm sure both the manufacturer and the seller would advice against making any alterations, but I had to trim them down. (You can see in my pictures both before and after.)

And I really, really wish she wasn't so stiff... She's almost a bit over-stuffed. My Peanut (now Madilynne) kind of has a perpetual pose of looking upward and arching her back. She can't sit on my lap unless I push against her stomach with one hand and use the other hand to push her upper back forward --and even then her legs stick stiffly down. The legs are weighted but don't "dangle" one bit. If I hold her against my shoulder, either her legs stick stiffly out from my body, or her chest and face are nowhere near touching my shoulder. The "grains" in her legs and bum do nothing to make her feel like a real baby, like they easily could --all they do now is add weight to a stiff doll. Just so much wasted potential in my opinion.
Same thing with her arms. They are bent at the elbow with no ability to straighten, and there is a heavy steel wire that join the arms together across the back on the inside --so if you lift one arm up, the other one moves up too. You can pose the arms to a degree by pushing or lifting them enough to bend the wire inside, but it takes enough force that you feel like you're manhandling the poor, dainty thing.

After all that "complaining" she's still worth every penny. That face, those feet! Love at first sight, imperfections and all.

I bought baby peanut for my mother that is 74 years old and has Alzheimer's she has had peanut for about nine months now and has no clue that this baby is not real she keeps this baby in her arms at all times very rarely will she let her go . This doll has changed my mother's life , it is totally amazing to watch her talk and play with this doll â¤ï¸ Thank you Ashton Drake â¤ï¸ Kathe Fannon Cortez Fl

Purchased this for my 11 year old daughter. She absolutely loves Lil' Peanut. She enjoys searching Good Will or Salvation Army stores for baby clothes to dress her up. It's expensive but well worth the price.

She is very realistic, my 12 year old loved her.
