I bought this doll in the summer. My two year old loves to hug her, kiss her, and swing her around by the braids. Just wanted to mention the washing instructions say that you can wash her in the washer but can't dry her in the dryer. Also, the fabric for the skin is really light so if she gets stained you have to wash right away. I found this out after my daughter spilled juice on her legs. I waited awhile to wash her. Got most of the stain out but not all. Also, the braids easily come undone with little fingers. So be ready to braid the hair.

Elli is just adorable! Had Timmy & Ikibab, and was thrilled to get Elli! Can't wait for Lilly to be available, either. Kathe Kruse makes top quality dolls! Craftsmanship and materials are exquisite.

I had to have this doll for my daughter's 2nd birthday after seeing the Maytag commercial. Oompa was great about notifying me once more were in stock. This doll is even more adorable in person and totally worth the wait. My daughter was so excited when she opened her present and has become very attached to her new friend.

My wife had seen this doll on a new Maytag commercial and had to have it for her new granddaughter. I called every where to find it. No one had it. Oompa had just gotten a shipment and were very helpful in quickly shipping it to me. I couldn't be happier with the doll and my shopping experience with the people at Oompa. You don't find customer service like this anymore. MANY THANKS TO OOMPA!!! P.S. my wife and daughter were thrilled to own this special doll.

Very cute and high quality doll. A lttle smaller than I expected it to be, but I didn't really look at the specs for size before I ordered it. The dress is removable, but the headband and shoes are not and that sometimes gets my little toddler a bit frustrated.
