Question
hi Michael just a quick question im not 100% sure where to put this  but do they sell dolls in china like baby annabell?
or what kinda dolls do they sell there for  chinese gils to play with?

please help thanks

Answer
Hi there.

They do indeed sell hundreds of variations on dolls in China. Chinese girls love them as much as others.  There is a wide array of domestic and foreign dolls on the market there.

Unless you are a big, well known Western brand you need to really work hard to differentiate your product from the cheap, local competition.

Best,

Michael
