A few weeks ago I got an email that The Toy Shoppe had some of the older Kidz ‘n Cats dolls on sale for $99 (down from their regular price of $159) so I decided to add a new one to our collection. Camille, with her violet blue eyes and long light blonde hair, was the one I chose. The Kidz ‘n Cats dolls are made by German doll artist, Sonja Hartmann, and are known for their beautiful faces. Camille has 9 points of articulation which makes her fun to pose.
THE BASICS ON KIDZ ‘N CATS CAMILLE:
| Manufacturer | With Heart & Soul (Sonja Hartmann) |
| Size | 18″ |
| Body details | Vinyl with 9 points of articulation |
| Face | Painted features |
| Eyes | Deep blue, glass like inset eyes with real eyelashes |
| Hair | Wigged kankelon, long blond hair with bangs |
| Can share clothes with | 18″ slim body dolls like Journey Girls, Carpatina, FAO, Magic Attic |
| Average price | $159 |
| Where to buy | The Toy Shoppe, Samantha’s Dolls and other specialty doll stores |
| Recommended for ages | 8 & up |
Each of the Kidz ‘n Cats dolls comes with – you guessed it – a CAT. Camille’s cat is pretty cool – he is wearing a red hat and sunglasses – and I think he has a quite a bit of personality, too. You can see what a beautiful shade of blue Camille’s eyes are – they just work so well with her light blonde hair.
Here are Camille and her cat (I think I should call him Casper) so you can see how she stands. Her meet outfit is a white sweater, white hat, purple snow pants, purple jacket, white boots and purple sunglasses. While I LOVE articulated arms on dolls – because you can pose them in so many lifelike positions – dolls with bendable knees are notorious for being a challenge to stand. Camille’s right knee is a little knock-kneed so I have to constantly readjust it to make her stand nicely.
Without her hat – it looks like Camille is warming up to go cross country skiing or something.
The sun was shining today so Camille decided to ditch the snow clothes and go shopping in the 18″ slim body doll closet. She picked out one of my favorite spring outfits from the FAO 18″ doll line. The green floral top looks so pretty on Camille. She is really enjoying her lemonade while sitting outside the ice cream shop.
Oh my! Leave it to Casper to claim the lemonade as his own! Good thing Camille doesn’t mind sharing.
I am glad I was able to add Camille to our 18″ doll collection. She will be great company for Galina – our first Kidz ‘n Cats doll.
These dolls remind me of American girl!:) don’t you agree
WOW!! YOU ARE MAKING ME JEALOUS!
She is so gorgeous!
I like her outfit
I had been wanting a Kidz ‘n Cats ever since I spotted Galina on here. But I had saw the sale, and never got one… But since that whenever I come across an amazing deal like that, I take it and run with it.
The one with the floral green top.
I want one sooo badly! Sadly, 159 dollars is too much for me.
Soo Beautiful!
I love her cat!
She has a sweet face!
Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz post the winners for the photo contest soon!!!
shes pretty just not my faverorite. Char- can you help me! i need some tips on cutting doll hair. i plan on getting a Nikki doll off eBay with messy hair and then washing and cutting the hair so she looks like me. Do you have any tips? THANKS
The cat is sooooooo cute!!!!
Lol the picture with Casper made me crack up!!!!!! She is really cool and since she’s on sale I might take advantage of that!
This isn’t a doll I really like…but she’s cute! She reminds me of my friend Camila (because of her name 🙂 )
Also, when are you posting the winner for the 123 Mulberry Street outfit? I’m so excited for the winner because I am IN. LOVE. with the outfit, (and also theres not another one on her Etsy :O ) and it’s my first dolldiaries giveaway I’ve entered! SQUEE!
Juliet, when I was little I cut one of my dolls hair and you either
a. Make sure to cut a little at a time or
b. Get her a new head
I love Kiki! lol
very pretty, i like knk but they r so pricey
I love their poseability! Camille is really pretty, and her cat really has a lot of character. ; )
She is adorable!
Juliet- I do! Make sure it is damp, but not soaking wet and well brused. And begin cutting! I’d recommend not layering it. You can do more hair styles when it is one legnth. Hope I helped! If you want to restore her curls. It’s easy! I watched agoverseasfan’s video. http://dolldiaries.com/tips-for-curling-your-dolls-hair/
Awww! The cat is so cute!
When will the winners be up????
tommorrow i guess
I’ve contacted Kids n’ Cats about sponsoring me…. no answer yet….
not my favorite, but still very pretty. Char- i need advice on cutting doll hair! i plan on cutting the messy hair on an old Nikki so she looks like me. i saw alliosns (?) makeover over the sumer and thought she looked very nice with her new haircut. can you help me?
sorry for double post, my mouse wasnt working.
i was planing on getting one with straight/frizzy hair, then washing and cutting it. THANKS!
I loved Camille, and bought her as well. Which makes the second time that I have bought the same doll as Char in a sale. I guess we must have the same tastes in dolls! I am naming her Chloe, I think. Haven’t named the cat yet. Camille reminds me of the little blond girl in the movie ‘Matilda’. I put my doll’s hair in braids just like that character, very cute I must say.
If I had a kids n cats doll, I would make a yoga suit similar to Maplelea Jenna’s fit n flex. I love the mix and match potential in that set (that’s all I can say since I don’t have it), but it’s too bad that it would be too big for the kids n cats dolls.
If I had four American doll rooms, I would have the turquoise room be a group fitness studio, the rose room be a locker room, the tangerine room be an office/workstation and the raspberry room as a check in counter.
You can’t tell I love going to the gym, can you?
Kids N Catz were on sale at our local doll shop here – they had Nikola. She reminded me of our Karito Kid. but with way more poses. I LOVE the new blond in the beach-y outfit – a good friend for Kanani.
In the end, on Sat. – a new Twinn moved on! I won an Ebay auction – I actually won! She’s a Vanessa and has this gorgeous tanned skintone with paperweight glass hazel eyes and get this – balloon curls like1985. She has the best and biggest ears of all my Twinns. I’m worried that 18″ is too small for me now, we’re so liking the height of the Twinns. Here’s some tips: AG glasses fit My Twinn. The glasses thing is a gimmick. Twinn earrings are not removable. They lie. And AG instruments and backpacks work well, just like the mini I saw yesterday on Doll of the Day. I gave her mini Kaya. Camille and Galina kind of look like sisters, I don’t know why, she’s a beautiful doll, I’m in love with platinum hair and the sculpts are great. My mom and I are going to take a second look. Congrats! 😉
OH – I LUV her hands, the fingers are separated and painted with pink polish – Does Galina have painted nails?? One of our Adora toddlers does. Char, maybe you want to try Saige’s ring on her ring finger???
The thing with these dolls is that thtey look so real that they are kinda creepy 0.o
Heather – yes, Galina’s nails are painted, too. I will have to try Saige’s ring on her.
Sherie – that is too funny! She is very pretty and fits in nicely with the other dolls in my office.
I would get the doll for Casper! 🙂
Char, what are her articulation points?
Those are all the places she bends – her shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and head. She is quite fun.
Oh wow! What a gorgeous doll.
She is a beautiful doll, Char, and her cat is adorable. You must be so pleased to add these two to your collection.
I am thinking of my next doll purchase being Kidz ‘n Cats, or a Maru and Friends doll, or Ellowyne. I am soo indesisive, But I have an idea if my May or June Wilde Imagaination has not had an End of Edition sale. I’ll go ahead and buy a Kidz ‘n Cats or Maru!
Are Kidz ‘n Cats high quality? Since the price is so high, I want to make sure I’m making a good desicion.
Thanks Char 🙂
I love her hair! lol
