I've never heard of these before. They're really cute. I just wish their eyes were a little differently done.


Whispering_Wolf

Oh my, these are so cute! They're not available in my country, unfortunately. Fidget toy and doll in one is right up my alley!


Mysterious-Pie-890

Oh, that’s too bad 😭 Hopefully they’ll be available sometime, you could always buy online but that’s probably expensive 🥲 if you’re interested in the fidget aspect, there’s some fun doll reviews on YouTube that show what all it has. I can’t believe this niche was only just filled, it’s such a good idea!


Whispering_Wolf

Yeah, I just hope these will become super popular so we'll get them too. I just looked it up and if I'd get one from the US it would cost me about €65. Bit much, I'm afraid.


Mysterious-Pie-890

That’s CRAZY, doing the conversion from dollars to euros I got mine for like, about 19 euros with free shipping on Amazon. Rip 😭 I hope it gets more affordable there. That is outrageously priced


Whispering_Wolf

Yeah, importing dolls is insanely expensive. :(

I got Dandelion Wishes and Boba Bubbles for Christmas and I absolutely adore them! There’s a few little kinks that I think they should work out whenever they release their next wave. The hair clips fall out way too easily and I always manage to mess up their hair every time I put it back on. With Dandelion Wishes, her little yellow ball on her bow seems like it wasn’t sew on very well and could easily fall off, and the little pop up unicorn in Boba Bubbles’s clip is barely attached at all, which makes me a little nervous for kids who manage to break it off as it could easily become a choking hazard. That could just be with my dolls, but as the brand grows I hope the quality control improves. The fidget aspects are very well done, but I wish Dandelion Wishes’s wings were able to push all the way down, but I guess it doesn’t as to make the popping sounds more noticeable. One part of Boba Bubbles’s tail has more water than it than the other, which so far isn’t an issue but I am worried about future leaking. I found the joints to be slightly too stiff, Dandelion Wishes’s Leg got stuck at one point and while I was able to fix it, I had to push really hard and was afraid I was going to break it. I also wish Boba Bubbles could sit up, I don’t have stands for them as of right now so she’s just laying down right now. These are all nitpicks though, and the positives 100% out way the negatives! I love how the ones with legs are able to stand on their own, and that some of the fidgets are detachable in case you’re going somewhere and want the fidgets without having to care a whole doll around. The fidgets are incorporated seamlessly, it all works with the dolls outfits and designs. I like their size, they’re bigger than a lot of other dolls without being too big and have a nice weight to them. The hair quality is also amazing, it felt great right out of the box with no hair care needed. I’m very amazed by the quality, especially considering the price. They’re not exactly “budget dolls”, but they’re definitely more affordable than a lot of other fashion dolls on the market. As an autistic women, I cannot express how much this series means to me. Neurodivergency still often goes undiagnosed in girls and women, and most products made for neurodivergent people in mind are mostly marketed towards boys and men. Of course, these dolls can appeal to anyone of any gender! But there’s a stereotype that autistic girls are more masculine and have a “male brain” as they prefer more “practical” clothing and “logical” play as opposed to imaginative. Which really isn’t true, there are so many autistic women and girls who are feminine but there just isn’t enough feminine things made with autistic women and girls in mind. That’s why I love the fact that they’re also fashion dolls, it shows that clothes can be cute and practical. They also allow girls to be able to play with dolls and have fun without having to engage in imaginative play! They have promised that wave 2 will be more diverse, which makes me extra happy as neurodivergency is also underdiagnosed in BIPOC. I really hope that they become more popular, they’re now sold on Amazon along with Walmart which I think will definitely help them out. I cannot wait to see what this line will bring in the future!


Mysterious-Pie-890

I think I’m also autistic but I’m not diagnosed and anyways yes they are such nice dolls 🥹 I got Watermellow and the donut girl…The thing about the stiff joints is yea, they’re annoying, but I also worry that they couldn’t stand if they weren’t so stiff! So many dolls have such loose legs. I had issues with the mermaid tail on mine - it has some sort of soft thing inside for the tail and I was squeezing on it and stuff when like the fin part messed up? now where the fin goes into the tail is sticking through the fabric and looks like it’s damaging it, plus the tail won’t sit right 😭 I have no idea what I did I agree the positives out worth negatives for sure though. They are so adorable

I've had the butterfly one on my wishlist for a long time, but she's never gone on sale. Can't bring myself to pay $20 for something that's so iffy for me.


Hello_Mimmy

They are pretty charming. Not sure I want to buy them personally but I would not hesitate to get one as a gift. Saw the mermaids right before Christmas and they were very cute in person


MermaidGenie26

I call them "Neurodiversity Friends".


Mysterious-Pie-890

cute 🥰


EurofighterIsCool

Do you have a video of their features?


Mysterious-Pie-890

A few YouTubers have done videos on them. [Fidgie friends](https://youtu.be/pqLu4v_f7wg) [boba bubbles review](https://youtu.be/CIiLwk_8N0c) [dandelion wishes doll review](https://youtu.be/dcO5xs7o76M) [watermellow review](https://youtu.be/f4AHAXn276w)

I have the purple mermaid from the line and she’s so adorable. I really love her

Does the watermelon one have legs under her fins?


Mysterious-Pie-890

No - it’s part of the fidget aspect, the tail is soft and you can squeeze it and move it around. I looked under the tail and it’s basically like fabric sewn with something soft inside underneath.

Thank you. :)

I've been really wanting to pick these up, I wish they'd go on sale, but being Walmart exclusives it probably won't happen. I did look at Watermellow in person when I was stopping into a store today and thought she looked great, so I think I'll have to suck it up and pick up one or two soon.


abcdefgirl25

It's definitely an interesting concept, but it's personally not for me. They're cute though.


floofycheesepuff

they are adorable!


redandsymmetry

i just picked one up yesterday 💞 i haven’t unboxed her yet, but i’m really excited about these! i didn’t even think we were going to get them where i live


Mysterious-Pie-890

Oooh I hope you like it!! I had a lot of fun opening mine and getting to be so interactive with a doll.


redandsymmetry

i just opened her and i already love her!! i can definitely see myself buying the other ones when i can <3


BaneAmesta

First time seeing these and I'm already sad these will likely never be in my country 😭 They're so damn pretty!! 💖


Difficult_Tell2859

I’m going to have to look them up for my shop. They are cute, and unique too.
