Families who love Malaya
“My girls were smitten when they received their Joeys. We got the original Malaya Joeydoll as the Lil Joey version. These dolls are such a staple in our household because we finally have a doll that embraces our Filipino roots and heritage...”
“I never owned a Filipino doll when I was a child. Not because I didn't want one but because it didn't exist. Now, it does and I'm so happy to own a doll that looks like me finally and to be able to share her with my daughter! It's a great feeling!”
“I’m so grateful for Malaya. It is a beautiful Filipino doll from Joey Dolls that truly represents my culture. The details are authentic, and the quality is excellent. My daughter loves playing with her, and it’s wonderful to see her ask questions and feel connected to her roots...”
“As a Filipino mum raising kids away from the village and stories I grew up with, I’m always looking for little ways to help my daughters feel connected to their roots...”
Very well-made and detailed. So sweet!
My daughter had lots of kisses for Malaya and the mini size is perfect for her
My daughter is half filipino..half Indian so I got her both..they are so cute and huggable. They are mini so easy to travel with ans good quality
My girls were smitten when they received their Joeys. We got the original Malaya Joeydoll as the Lil Joey version.
These dolls are such a staple in our household because we finally have a doll that embraces our Filipino roots and heritage. Their Filipiniana dresses are so beautifully ornate with the stitching and the plush materials make them such huggable companions.
Honestly, such a unique gift idea. We love our Joeys!
The Malaya doll is beautifully made and detailed. Receiving a plush doll that kind of "looks like me" was special for our daughter. Thank you for creating lovely cultural dolls for children so more kids can see themselves reflected in their toys.
I was beyond excited to discover Joey Dolls and was waiting for an opportunity to gift it to someone. I couldn’t wait to give it to my new niece and it’s even more beautiful in person. The Malaya doll is perfect and one I wish I had for my own daughter. Thank you for creating this beautiful doll and finally having a product that celebrates diffirent ethnicities.
Was super excited to hear that they were releasing the mini dolls so close to my daughter's first birthday as I was torn between which of their original sized dolls to get as it felt like I was making her "pick a culture". She was so happy to receive them and carries both of them with her to sleep.
I purchased this doll for my daughter and niece. It’s absolutely adorable! I can’t wait to get the one for my boys. They’ll love having one that reflects their half-Filipino heritage.
It is so cute I cannot wait to give it to my daughter for her first birthday!
Beautiful little doll for my granddaughter.
Gift for great niece turning 1. “Malaya” is the perfect size for little hands. Makes me happy it represents her culture!
It's a gift for my granddaughter who will be turning 3 in November. But I did take a peek at her and she looks just as advertised. My granddaughter is going to love her.

Very cute! Got it for my baby's first birthday. My only critique is that the doll looks more orange in person than in the pictures.
I absolutely love this doll! The attention to detail is so impressive! I love that this doll accurately represents the traditional clothing of my culture so my son can learn more our culture while he plays with it. I most love that he can have a doll that looks like his parents and himself! I know this will grow with our family!
Incredible!
I purchased several dolls for myself and to give away as gifts. They were all so beautifully made.
I liked the costume and how age appropriate it is.
First off, I have to say these dolls are made with so much love and care and you can see it in every detail and design! I got this for my son to represent my family's culture and this has been a great addition to help our son learn and identify with our culture. This is the perfect way to help your kids build connection to your culture. Will be adding more! 😍
My half Filipina half Indian daughter has Malaya & Priya and loves them!
Came super fast in the mail. Great quality. My daughter loves it!
Fantastic!
Excellent!
Incredible!
Loved everything!!! So perfect for my nieces!!
I gave this to my friend as a gift and she loved it. It was so special to be able to give her her first ever Filipina doll. I’m so glad these exist! It’s a beautiful and well made doll that can bring joy to children and kids-at-heart alike.
A friend gifted me the Filipina doll and I immediately teared up! I'm 31 years old and this is the first doll I have that looks exactly like me. I feel so seen and I'm so glad children nowadays get to grow up with dolls like these. Thanks for what you do, Joey Dolls Team!
We actually got the bigger doll, since the smaller one was out of stock. My niece is going to love her new doll. I wish this doll was available when i was a child. There were really no options like this back then.

How does free shipping work?
Free shipping starts at a merchandise subtotal of $120 CAD in Canada, $120 USD in the US or $120 AUD in Australia, after all discounts and before shipping and taxes. A discount can bring an order below the threshold. The threshold applies to one delivery address per order; separate orders cannot be combined to qualify. We cannot split one order across multiple addresses.
We ship to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Orders to the US, Canada and Australia have no duties or tariffs. New Zealand orders have paid shipping, calculated at checkout, and are not part of the free-shipping offer. Pickup is not available. Final shipping options and charges are shown at checkout.
Can my order ship in a box?
Orders usually ship in a mailer bag. You can add a shipping box + tissue in your cart: your order then ships in a shipping box with Joeydolls tissue and tape instead. It isn't gift-wrapped and there's no separate keepsake box. Check that it appears in your order summary.
Some bundles already ship in a box (their list of included items says so), so you don't need to add it again. A digital gift card is delivered by email and needs no packaging.

We currently ship to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Final available destinations, shipping options and charges are shown at checkout.
How long will my order take to arrive?
In-stock orders are typically processed in 2–5 business days, followed by the delivery estimate shown at checkout. Preorders follow their product-specific shipping window, then transit time. Orders containing a preorder ship together when all items are ready.
What is your return policy?
You can request a return within 21 days of delivery for eligible unused items in their original packaging. See our Refund Policy for the full details.
Play with purpose
What I wished for as a child, made for yours
Growing up, I never had a doll that looked like me or celebrated where my family came from. When I became a mom and still couldn't find one for my daughter, we made them. Every Joeydoll is designed with cultural care, so more children can see themselves, their families and their traditions in everyday play.
