Aldi's Maya

Aldi Play Maya Fashion Doll by Jakks Pacific, Inc.

I could not find Maya, a Jakks Pacific, Inc., and Aldi-store-exclusive doll, at an Aldi near me. A long-time doll friend, who lives several states away, knew about this dilemma and offered to purchase the doll for me. 

The day after Maya's arrival, I took the following unboxing photos:

Maya is still secured to the cellophane lining in this photo.

And secured she was. There were several plastic connectors and rubber bands to cut before Maya was released from the cellophane.

Maya's story is written on the back of the box.

From the back of the box, Maya's story reads as follows:

Meet Maya

Maya’s always on the go, from shopping her favorite finds to lunch dates full of laughter. With her signature look and trusty ALDI tote bag and keychain, she’s ready for any adventure—grocery runs, smoothie stops, or just hanging out with friends. Stylish, smart, and totally relatable, Maya makes every day feel fabulous.

I discarded the box. 

Before taking this photo, I finger-combed and fluffed out Maya's well-rooted, natural-textured black hair.

Here she is in a full-length view.

My Excel description of Maya's features and clothing reads as follows:

11-1/2 inch, vinyl high-heeled fashion doll; side-parted, waist-length, rooted black natural-textured hair; pixelated brown eyes, dark lip color; wears an Aldi-colors-themed dress that has a white bodice and light-blue pleated skirt with horizontal Aldi-colors at the hemline, one short sleeve is light blue, the other is peach; wears high-top vinyl peach shoes with mock laces; and carries a mesh Aldi shopping tote that has a colorful, petal-shaped keychain attached.

 

As a frequent Aldi shopper, I wanted this doll in my collection. Thank you again, MR, for helping me achieve this goal.__________
