I always buy dolls for the puppet show I have with my granddaughter. Problem. Padding, bad cut, asymmetrical facial features. We bought this ballerina doll from Melissa & Doug three years ago and she's one of our favorites. We replaced the character because the first one wore out. The new one was of significantly worse quality. Small head, tiny tuft of hair, sloppy sewing, stuffed mouth nearly incapacitated, what's up Melissa and Doug? How could such a good product be ruined? In the photo, my thumb and forefinger are holding my mouth closed at the midline. upper lip. An awkward look.
