Dolls & Plush JC Toys Launches New Expressive Baby Dolls
J
C Toys will expand its doll line this year with the Deluxe Newborn Bath Set. The 14-inch baby doll comes dressed in a reusable diaper, and kids can place the doll in the included tub with accessories, such as the rubber ducky. When bath time is over, kids can dress the doll in the hooded towel. The Deluxe Layette Set also includes a 14-inch doll, as well as a hospital bracelet, a soft cap, a pair of booties, a diaper, a onesie, and a top and bottom ensemble. Animal Play Theme Dolls are available in four different styles, each featuring its own special facial expression and a unique pet. Each pet doubles as a rattle and fits snuggly into each doll’s pocket.

Just Play Gets Interactive with Favorite Characters

oc McStuffins Take Care of Me Lambie, from Just Play, is an interactive plush that comes to life with realistic movements from her head to her toes. Lambie talks and sings as her eyes, ears, mouth, and body move along to show how she’s feeling. She has more than 50 interactive responses that are activated through three trigger points on her wrist, tummy, and heart. Designed for kids ages 3 and up, Lambie also comes with doctor’s tools such as a stethoscope, a thermometer, an otoscope, and sticker bandages for a thorough checkup. Just Play’s new Care Bears Sing-a-longs interact with each other and can talk, sing, and dance in sync to three different songs. They sing solo, as a duet, or in a group. Kids can start the fun by squeezing their hands or giving them a hug. Designed for kids ages 3 and up, the Sing-a-longs are available in Cheer Bear, Grumpy Bear, Funshine Bear, and Share Bear styles. When kids squeeze Peanuts Happy Dance Snoopy’s hand, the plush boogies to the tune of “Linus and Lucy.” If kids give Snoopy a kiss, he responds with a return kiss, a laugh, a pout, or a raspberry sound. The Puppy In My Pocket brand is back with more than 100 puppies, as well as play sets and accessories. Designed for kids ages 4 and up, girls can collect and take care of their new teeny-tiny puppy friends. The puppies have realistic and detailed features and soft coats. Kids can put them in their pocket or a carry case, or snap puppy charms onto the Puppy In My Pocket bracelet, earrings, or rings. Just Play will add three new puppy families to its Puppy Surprise line. The new puppies feature special new coats and hairstyles, and some puppies also make barking sounds. The line will also expand to include Kitty Surprise. Care Bears Sing-a-longs
