Naturalistas Paige is an 11-1/2-inch fashion doll with 3C hair. |
|
Paige joins Liya and Dayna. |
|
They use the same facial sculpt. Paige and Dayna have a medium complexion. Liya's complexion is the deepest. |
Paige was preordered in April 2022 along with Liya and Dayna, also by Purpose Toys. Her arrival took a bit longer.
The back of the box describes Paige as illustrated in the next image.
|
Paige is a chemist who has designed a line of black haircare products that promote hair health. |
|
Paige is seen in a close-up photograph. Her 3C-textured hair is styled in a side ponytail. |
Like the other Naturalistas shown in this post, Paige has brown painted eyes, a nonarticulated body, and her shimmery dress has Naturalistas in raised letters across the chest. Paige's silver long-sleeved mini dress is accented by silver hoop earrings.
|
A pink clutch and... |
|
...a pair of pink high-heel, open-toe shoes are included. |
|
Paige cannot share shoes with Barbie; her feet are much larger. |
Paige and the other Naturalistas were designed by DeeDee Wright-Ward whose headshot and bio are on the back of the dolls' boxes.
|
DeeDee Wright-Ward, the creator of the Naturalistas, is pictured on the back of the box. |
The bio reads:
DeeDee Wright-Ward is an Entrepreneur, Business Development Executive, Founder of Purpose Toys and Creator of Naturalistas. Naturalistas is a sleek line of contemporary natural hair fashion dolls, created to uplift and celebrate children with coily, curly and natural textured hair.
Purpose Toys partners with entrepreneurs, providing the resources necessary to succeed. Our mission is to produce "Product with a Purpose", which we hope to deliver with Naturalistas, who encourage every coily and curly hair kid to "Be Proud of Your Crown".
|
If I ever debox them, these three Naturalistas will display well together. |
At this time, I have decided against purchasing
Grace (the influencer). I do plan to buy one of the Pixie Puff Naturalistas (probably
Penny). Penny will allow me to round off the collection with a light-skinned Naturalistas doll.

I am absolutely in LUV with these dolls. I'm so, so, so happy to see black dolls evolving and not only adorning our facial features, but now our HAIR! Plus it isn't one specific type of hair but a broad spectrum of black hair. I love this line and can't wait to see what they come up with next! I'm still hunting for the Walmart exclusives. I got my hands on Penny but I NEED Peety!
ReplyDeleteI love this line, too. Most people are wishing for articulation, but I don't really mind the lack of it for now. I believe Grace is the only one with articulation at this point.
ReplyDeleteI recently acquired both Penny and Peety (the Walmart exclusives). Look for a blog post about them soon.
