Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Q: What kind of Loveable Look-a-Like Doll do I need?

A: There are as many reasons to create a Loveable Look-a-Like doll as there are events in your life. When you need a holiday gift, birthday gift or novelty item, a personalized doll is a great solution — especially for busy parents. Unique Loveable Look-a-Like Dolls are easy to carry. These dolls are a great alternative to a tattered security blanket for young girls and boys, and are sure to help reduce separation anxiety.

A terrific parenting solution, Loveable Look-a-Like Dolls are fun too. You can "build a parent" doll, by taking pictures of mom or dad, or "build a grandparent" by taking pictures of grandma or grandpa. We will hot stamp your digital images or photographs onto a Loveable Look-a-Like and send your personalized doll right back to you. You may choose a mommy doll, daddy doll, or divorce doll for your child or children. By choosing the face you want on the doll, you can build a baby, sister, brother, boy, girl, or friend doll too.

Our durable, washable dolls are 24" tall, and come clothed with blue jeans, a long-sleeved white cotton shirt and matching socks.

Since Loveable Look-a-Like Dolls are customizeable for a small fee, you also may choose from a selection of doll clothes to match your whim, and you can order a matching cotton T-shirt with the Loveable Look-a-Like logo or with a custom message.

Q: How can I customize my doll?

Messages may be up to 12 letters. Here are a few samples you may choose, or you may write your own.
• I love Mommy
• I am Loveable
• Daddy's Boy
• Snuggle Me 

You also can create a talking doll, by ordering a voice microchip to create your very own voice doll. You can purchase a matching child's shirt for your child to wear.

 

Q: Are customizations included in the price of my doll?

A: Loveable Look-a-Like Dolls come dressed in a white cotton pullover, jeans and a belt for $39.99.

Visit our Doll Shop page for pricing information.

Q: How does the voice chip work?

Your doll can have another soothing and comforting feature, a favorite voice with a special message just for your child. Our 10-second voice chip is easy to record, and is placed in a safely designed spot on your doll.

Sing a song, tell your child you love them, say good night again, or "I will see you soon." Record whatever short message you want. Your voice will be heard over and over again when your child squeeze’s their doll’s hand. Your message can be recorded and changed as many times as you’d like.

  

Q: What kind of photo do I need and how do I send it to you?

A: Getting your doll is as easy as 1-2-3! Just follow the simple steps below:

1. Grab your digital or film camera and stand your model in front of a well-lit, neutral background, such as a wall, solid sheet or project board.

2. Stand about 3-4 feet from your model and take a close-up photo of your model's face and back head. For best results when using a digital camera, set your camera to produce a high-resolution image (350 dpi for color photos) when printed as a 5"x7" image.

3. Email your photos (face and back of head) to us. Or mail 5"x7" or larger glossy photos (face and back of head) to:
