Create Your Dream Doll Mila

Create Your Dream Doll Mila is an 11-inch all-vinyl doll by Ruby Red Toys.

Mila is an 11-inch all-vinyl doll from the Create Your Dream Doll series by Ruby Red Toys. This doll series allows children to sketch a doll design and write the doll's story. 

Mila's close-up illustrates her hair texture, eye color, and possibly her freckles.

Mila's dark brown wig is long and curly with bangs. She has blue inset eyes with painted upper eyelashes, and a light brown complexion with a splattering of freckles across her nose and below the eyes.

Mila is dressed casually and comes with a bi-fold card that tells her story.

She wears a white long-sleeved T-shirt with "Doll Mom" printed on the upper left front and a centered image of a camera that corresponds with Mila's doll influencer/blogger story. Light blue pants and red flat shoes complete her outfit. An illustrated bi-fold card tells Mila's story and includes the sketch that inspired the doll's creation.

As illustrated next, an 8.25 x 11.5-inch sheet of paper with an outline of a blank doll was included in Mila's box for the new owner to create and submit a sketch of their dream doll with an additional sheet to write their own story.

A faintly visible sketch of a doll is included on the above sheet that accompanied Mila to encourage the doll's owner to "create a dream doll."

Ruby Red Toys also included a lined sheet of paper for the would-be doll designer to write their doll's story.

Other Create Your Dream Dolls are featured on both sides and on the back of Mila's box as illustrated below.

This side of Mila's box illustrates Summer, Clara, Erik, Marina, and Erin.

Tanya, Jeanette, Vicky, and Mila are on the opposite side panel.

All nine dolls in the Create Your Dream Doll series are on the back of the box with an invitation for other children to create their very own dream doll.

Mila's Story (from the story card)
Mila is a 13-year-old girl living in New York City. She is a doll collector and a doll influencer. She loves writing doll reviews on her blog and posting photos that she has taken of her doll around her inspiring city.

Mila wanted to share love of dolls in her blog. She is learning that what others think is weird about someone is what makes them unique. She is also learning that people should do what they love and not care about what others think because, at the end of the day, you should just be yourself!

Mila's story mimics mine, although I am an adult "doll mom" (doll enthusiast and doll historian) that some have labeled as an influencer. I am definitely a doll blogger, which is why I related to this doll and wanted to add Mila to my collection. Ruby Red Toys' recent free shipping offer also influenced the purchase. The current free shipping promotion ends on 12/03/23 (December 3, 2023).

According to the front of Mila's story card, the doll's design and story are by Mal from the United States.  Young and old, we all have a right to be our authentic selves without considering what others think about us as long as what we do is legal and doesn't cause anyone harm. Additionally, while we are being ourselves, we should avoid judging others for doing the same thing as long as the aforementioned no-harm conditions exist.

Of note, the Create Your Dream Dolls can wear Ruby Red Siblies' clothes and shoes.

Below, Mila poses with Kelsey (a Siblie) and the rest of the Ruby Red dolls that live here, but first...

...Mila wanted to share my discovery that her feet are sculpted to accommodate sandals.

Mila poses with Kelsey from the Ruby Red Siblies collection. Even though Mila is shorter, she can wear Kelsey's clothes. Kelsey can wear sandals, too.

The entire Ruby Red dolls in my collection are from L-R James, Mila, Kelsey, and By the Sea Maya and her cloth doll.

James and Maya are from the higher-end Ruby Red Fashion Friends collection. Maya, whose wig and shoes have been changed, was introduced at the 73rd UFDC Convention in 2021. James and Maya are 14 inches tall with nine points of articulation. Mila has the usual five points of articulation only. Kelsey is 12 inches tall and also has nine points of articulation. 

The Ruby Red gang posed for this final photo.
