Madame Alexander has several Asian dolls to choose from. One of them, a "Favorite Friends" doll with ivory skin, brown eyes, and long, black hair, is retired but can be found on the secondary market for about $10 - $50. Also, a blue-green-eyed fringed "My Life" version of this doll is also available from Walmart, retailing for about $30. She can cost more on secondary markets.


Madame Alexander also offered Asian "Play Wonder" doll "Layla," one of two or three "Play Wonder" dolls.  "Play Wonder" dolls have slightly older features compared to other MA 18" dolls, more closely resembling teenagers. They even come with fingernail/toenail polish to enhance the "older girl" idea. Layla, like her Playwonder bffs, was originally sold through Target beginning in 2011. Today she can sometimes be found on Amazon for about $30, and also on the secondary markets for varying (and sometimes inflated) prices.

 

Ivy Ling is an American Girl "Best Friend." She was released with Historical Character Julie Albright in 2007. Ivy uses a modified version of a face mold that was first used for Jess McConnell. Ivy has light skin and brown eyes. She has straight, brownish-black shoulder-length hair with bangs/ fringe. Ivy was retired in 2014. She can be found on the secondary market for about $120 - $180 or more, though lower prices occasionally happen.

For those looking for "multiracial Asian" American Girl dolls, both Jess McConnell  ( Japanese and Scotch-Irish descent) and Kanini Akina ( Japanese-Hawaiian and French-German descent) are available, though retired. They also use this mold.
