I AM UTTERLY DISGUSTED! I am an AVID DOLL COLLECTOR and I buy as many dolls as I possibly can.
That is how I know that all of you complaining about the difficulty in finding (and the OUTRAGEOUS prices of!) the African American & Hispanic version of these dolls are absolutely SPOT ON!!!!!
I have been looking for/trying to buy the ethnic version of this and several other dolls and am soooooooooo frustrated at the lack of availabilty & the INSANE PRICE GOUGHING INVOLVED!
If you DO manage to FIND THE DOLL THE PRICE IS SO INSANELY HIGH THAT YOU JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT! And I am a grown-up (white) doll "collector" who doesn't neccesarily "need" these dolls. I can only IMAGINE THE FRUSTRATION LEVEL OF THE BLACK/HISPANIC PARENTS & GRANDPARENTS OUT THERE TRYING TO GET THESE DOLLS FOR THEIR CHILDREN/GRANDCHILDREN. I WOULD BE LIVID!!!!!!!!
SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO CALL THESE DOLL COMPANIES AND THE STORES THAT CARRY THESE DOLLS AND JUST REALLY GIVE THEM HELL!!!!!! I am thinking of doing just that this week! I mean really don't we have just as many African Americans in this country now as we do "white folks"? As a white person I am ASHAMED OF THIS. We can and should be doing so much better than this. When I find a doll I like I want it in every possible color and gender. But what do you ever get but a female white doll dressed in pink? We deserve SO MUCH MORE! I want The Afican American version, the hispanic version & then I want all 3 versions (white, AA & Hispanic in a BOY DOLL!) And the fact that it is so difficult to find and/or get these things is a sign to me that WE NEED CHANGE!!!!!! We got a change on our government. How about a change (FOR THE BETTER!) in the products that are available to our children? We NEED to hold these toy companies and stores ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE UNFAIR DISCREPANCIES! I have said so many times that "If I were in charge thinsg would be different!". Their would be much more VARIETY, more AVAILABILTY, and the prices would be REASONABLE AND FAIR!!!! DON'T STOP VOICING YOUR OPINION ON THIS MATTER. THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE NEED TO HEAR FROM US IF WE ARE EVER TO GET ANY CHANGE. I think that ALL VERSIONS OF THE DOLL SHOULD COST THE SAME PRICE AND ALL BE EQUALLY ACCESIBLE. And yes the doll itself is lovely and I highly reccomend it. But not at this price here. This is just INSANE. It is high time for a change. That's my opinion. Hope that someone with influence maybe reads this and TAKES A HINT!!!!! I GIVE 5 STARS FOR THE DOLL ITSELF. 0 STARS TO THE TOY COMPANIES & STORES FOR MAKING IT SO HARD TO GET AND 0 STARS FOR ANY AND ALL VENDORS TRYING TO RIP US OFF TO GET ONE. GOOD LORD IS THIS INSANE.

I love Amazon and have been a faithful Prime customer for years. I am totally disgusted with the fact that someone (private seller/Amazon/whoever) is trying to make an extra buck off the ethnic dolls via amazon.com. I found this doll at Target locally here in Tampa for $40...that's right F-O-R-T-Y B-U-C-K-S!!! I checked their site first and it said they were available in 'Limited Availability'. I immediately ran to the store to find one left.

I got this doll as a Christmas gift and she loves it. It will occassionally "wake up" in the middle of the night but no one is losing sleep. Be sure to have plenty of diapers or something to cover her behind because she will go quite often depending on how much she is fed. Overall, my cousin loves it and is quite happy with it.

My daughter loves this doll. She takes her everywhere. I was bit a worried when the instructions on the food packet warned of possibly staining surfaces and clothing, but so far, so good.

This doll was bought for my 8 yr. old daughter. She loves it. She enjoys being a mother. It cries, it potties, it eats like a real baby does. Sometimes like a real baby, it cries and potty a little too much. This requires additional products to maintain the doll. Overall a good buy. My daughter loves it and for a child at Christmas getting that MUST have toy is all that really matters. She loves it and to me it was worth it.

The doll says several neat phrases like, "No, thank you." She is kind of heavy but durable. Sitting her on the potty fast enough after she says she has to go was a little hard but she didn't go when she said she did. You have to finish the food or bottle for her to go to the bathroom. My daughter (7 yrs old) loves being a mommy.

I don't understand why the African American doll and Hispanic doll are $100 + more dollars than the white doll. I was fortunate enough to get one at Walmart.com because every single store I went to, did not have the African American doll in stock here in GA. I am quite sure they use the same materials, there is no justification for this price or lack of stock in stores.

Why is it that the African American Baby Alive Learns to Potty selling for 89.99 and the White Baby Alive Learns to Potty is selling for 19.99
isn't it the same doll????????????

I am a military wife who lives overseas. I already purchased the doll for my daughter 2 months ago along with being very thankful that I did. I wanted to send it to my God-daughter in the states through Amazon. I am truly wishing that I had found out about her wanting this doll earlier when I purchased this same African American doll for $30.00 on base I find it yet disturbingly pathetic that Amazon, which I swear by, would even tollerate such dis-honor, greed and filth. I had to look at the detals to make sure the doll wasn't a new product, then coming to the harsh reality that you have some people trying to get over on certain people this day in age.Not to mention the fact that we have a terrible economy. How dare you! I hope everyone who reads this will let who ever that is, selling that item keep that doll for the price they are demanding. You need to give it away at this point so that you can save your self-respect.

Wow, my 6-year old niece was so excitied to receive an African American Baby Alive. The doll is great and allows young black children to practice motherhood through a doll designed for them. I only paid around $40 for the doll in October. I was amazed to find the exact doll is currently being sold for $168.99. The Hispanic doll is also overpriced at $88.88 where as Caucasian doll sells for $31.98. I don't understand why there is such a great difference with the ethnic dolls.
