Supporting What Comes Next

As we prepare for our 2026 releases, we’re in a meaningful in-between moment. Our current Joeydolls collections are still available, but stock is limited. These are the dolls that started it all, the ones families have grown with and loved deeply.

Because Joeydolls is a small, self-funded brand, the next chapter depends on the support of this one. Sales of our current dolls help fund the development and production of future cultures, new boy dolls, and upcoming collections. Without that support, we simply can’t bring the next releases to life in the way we envision.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your Joeydolls collection, adding a new culture to your home or classroom, or gifting a doll that truly means something, this is a powerful way to support what comes next.
