Hello toy thread. I have a question if you would kindly respond, I would be very appreciative.
It is my daughter's birthday coming up, and she will be turning 13. We live somewhat isolated in the Dakotas, (4 hours to the nearest mall, and actually farther to Wal-mart) and I work from home and am a single father. She gets lonely and has been asking for some more dolls (she doesn't have many, but I have a lot of money and want to make this birthday very special for her)
My question is should I get my daughter 1/6th toys or the smaller ones? She doesn't really like barbie, she wants more realistic ones with guns and whatnot, and I want to build her a dollhouse, but I know if its 1/6th it would be a large investment in materials, learning, and more but it could be a nice bonding experience, and I can afford it financially.
If I should be getting her these more expensive dolls, please give me recommendations. I don't want anything too inappropriate, but I am very lenient on her about that kind of stuff (exposure to drugs and sex in media) because I don't want her to be anymore sheltered than she already is, so figures with some kind of nudity might be okay. I see the links in the "where to buy" section, but I don't know if those are good prices or if I am missing a basic thing that is required to fully enjoy these kinds of figures, such as a rudimentary doll house (a starter house, if you will) or some kind of goal-oriented social emulation accessory I should give her as well. I found Google to be unhelpful looking for this stuff (all advertisements), so I am asking you guys (I normally browse on here, but not on /toy/)
I would appreciate the help a lot. Thank you very much to anyone who has input. - Oscar
