Play with Purpose

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!

Beautifully Detailed

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.

Beautiful!

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.

Amazing quality and great representation

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.

Culturally Beautiful and Adorable

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'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

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.

A fun addition to a toddler's collection to learn about their culture

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!

It’s great to have a Filipina doll other than Barbie.

I liked the costume and how age appropriate it is.

The perfect gift for a toddler

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! 😍

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.

Such a meaninful present!

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.
