The Evolution Of The Lalaloopsy Rag Doll

Rag dolls have been one of those wholesome staples of childhood that gives people a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.  The classic example of the doll that originated the popularity of this kind of doll in the public's imagination is Raggedy Ann, who was introduced to the world in 1915.  Raggedy Ann dolls became incredibly popular and are quite beloved even up to the present day.  Although dolls made of rags had been in use since far before this time, it was only after the popularity of Raggedy Ann that they became associated with such a widespread positive appeal.

 

There are many stories written about the adventures of Raggedy Ann and her brother Raggedy Andy, and children love them as much as they ever did.  The idea of toys that come to life has also been much explored, most recently with the recent Toy Story movies that have earned much praise.  The most recent, and perhaps most exciting, addition to this trend is the Lalaloopsy line of dolls.  These dolls appeal not only to the beloved nature of the rag doll and to the fun idea of toys coming to life, but they also appeal to young girls' sense of individuality.

 

The story goes that with the final stitch that brought each of these Lalaloopsy rag dolls to life, they were also magically imbued with a personality that matches the nature of the fabric rags that were used to make their clothes.  For example, Pillow Featherbed's outfit is said to be made from a baby's blanket, and because of that she loves to sleep and read bed time stories.  Or consider Dot Starlight's outfit, which is made from the scraps from an astronaut's uniform, causing her to love science and outer space.

 

There are ten Lalaloopsy dolls altogether, eight individual dolls and one twin pack.  Young girls have a choice of little Lalaloopsy rag dolls and can pick one that best matches their personality and interests.  The story of the rag doll has evolved from the hands of the iconic Raggedy Ann to these new and adorable button eyed dolls that have captured the hearts of young girls everywhere.  All they need to cement their attraction with their young audience is a collection of stories for children to enjoy about the adventures of the Lalaloopsy dolls in their Lalaloopsy world that will excite children's imaginations and build up their positive feelings towards these fictional characters.  Perhaps the Lalaloopsy dolls will become the next toy that inspires all the positive kinds of emotions that we all feel about Raggedy Ann and her brother Raggedy Andy.

 

As toys evolve and change over time, it's fun to take a step back and look at the roots of where specific ideas came from and how we got to where we are today.  The Lalaloopsy dolls are the current popular rag doll toy, so it's interesting to think about how far they will go, and what will be the next iteration of this societal meme?  In the end, only time will tell.
