About Amazing Babies:

Amazing Babies are the newest members of the Playmates Toys Amazing family of dolls, which includes the popular Amazing Ally.  These adorable Babies need to be cared for, loved and nurtured so they can develop and grow. 

Just like real babies, Amazing Babies learn to talk over time and need lots of hugs and love to stay healthy and happy.  Amazing Babies have big beautiful eyes, long eyelashes, a precious smile and full rosy cheeks. Each Amazing Baby can hear, and will turn their head in recognition of the voice of their mommy or another Amazing Baby.  They even learn to speak over time, like saying "baba" at first, and eventually learning to say "bottle."

There are nine lovable Amazing Babies to choose from, and each doll comes with a baby bottle, cookie, rattle, blanket, food tray & spoon, hair brush and toy bear.
