When my partner started dating his now ex-wife, his first Hanukkah gift to her was an well-intentioned but ill-received doll that has become an ongoing joke for over 20 years. Now I want to see if I can have another doll made in the same manner, but I don't know where to look to have this done.

Please help me find my son's lovey. He received
this giraffe from my mom who brought it back along with other animals from her trip to Disney. The name on the tag is embroidered and I think it reads "strasburg". It's soft/plushy and the feet have a bit of sand in them. The other two animals from this same line is a blue elephant and a tiger - both of which rattle. They were purchased more than a year ago and he adores his giraffe and finds comfort with it. I have tried to hunt this giraffe down online for some time and haven't had any luck. As time passes, the giraffe is getting more and more worn. We'll need a replacement soon enough. TIA for any help!

I'm looking for the online equivalent of a dollhouse, or Lego or Playmobil people — a Flash/Java/whatever app that lets the user dress up a bunch of characters with different clothes/props/features/whatever and arrange them in a scene. I know I've seen stuff like this on websites for kids. The catch is, we need this for a psycholinguistics experiment we're running, which means we need to be able to run the app on our own server and record the user's actions (with consent, of course). Does something like this exist?

My 3-year-old is getting into dressing her
Little Mommy doll. I've been using her old newborn clothes, but the dolls are too small. (And the stuffed animals are the wrong shape.) Can you recommend a doll that can wear the newborn clothes?

Asian Ball Jointed Dolls Filter -- Can you recommend a reputable American seller/dealer, and what has been your experience with them (the vendor)? It seems like the only ones I can find are foreign companies and I'd rather buy from someplace stateside if I can, unless I'm confident enough in them from recommendations..
