Are Gotz Play Dolls expensive?
Although Gotz manufactures some of the most expensive hand crafted collector dolls in the world, their everyday line of play dolls are very reasonable in price. In fact, some of their play dolls such as the Mini Muffins, cost no more than many of the popular dolls you can find in your local department or discount store. At this writing a Mini Muffin doll sells for under $10.00 at Live And Learn!

How are Gotz Play Dolls made?
Gotz Play Dolls are made from high quality synthetic vinyl materials called PVC. PVC in its processed form is very durable and non-toxic, as well as saliva and perspiration safe. 

Play Dolls with hair have rooted hair made from the highest quality synthetic hair fiber available on the market. The hair is sewn into the doll head by trained doll makers using specially designed machines.

On dolls with painted hair, the painted hair is applied by spraying non-toxic paints onto the doll head.

Play Dolls either have movable eyes that are inserted by hand into the doll head, immovable plastic eyes or painted eyes that are applied by hand.

The clothing is made from non-toxic and flame-retardant natural fibers. All clothing meets the European CE and American ASTM standards.

What design considerations go into making a Gotz Play Doll?
Play Dolls by Gotz are especially made for playing. They will open the doors of imagination. They are designed to encourage pretend play. And for the parents, Gotz has made their dolls washable. Specific washing instructions come with each doll.

Why are many of the dolls bald?
A bald baby, one with no hair is usually a child's first doll. Doll hair is not as important to a young child; only later is a child interested in and capable of washing and styling a doll's hair. But since many parents want to buy a doll with hair for their child, some baby dolls are made with hair.

What are the bodies made of?
Gotz Play Dolls have a variety of bodies. Some are vinyl and some are lightly stuffed soft bodies. Many of the play dolls have bean pellets to add weight, stability and to allow the doll to sit up.

What size Gotz Play Doll should I buy my child?
Although this often a choice of personal preference, the size of the doll should depend on the size of the child. The best size for a doll corresponds to the length of the forearm and the extended hand of the child, who, when she cradles the baby in her arms, imitates her mother. A 13 inch doll will fit into the arms of a two to three year old. A 16 doll is for a child of three to five years of age. Larger dolls are for children of seven and older, and of course, collectors.

Are Gotz Play Dolls washable?
The dolls can be cleaned. Some can be placed in a washing machine inside a knotted or zippered pillow case, and some should only be surfaced washed by hand. Washing instructions come with each doll.

What are the overall important features of a Gotz Play Doll?

1. Facial features like dimples, hands, and feet are realistic.
2. Soft flesh tones similar to actual skin, and the coloring of lips and cheeks are light and natural.
3. Placement and size of eyes are appealing and are firmly affixed in eye sockets.
4. Durability and longevity are important considerations for choosing a doll. Children develop a strong bond with their doll and the doll needs to withstand the rigors of play.
