What are Paola Reina Dolls, you ask? They are dolls made in Spain who are coming to North and South America for your enjoyment. Paola Reina has been in business since 1994 and are totally manufactured in Spain and are now being distributed by Paola Reina America. They carry various sizes dolls but we will be covering two sizes: 23.6 inches and 16 inches.
Las Reinas de Paola (The Queens of Paola) are 23.6 inches and can be posed very easily because they are articulated! They are an all vinyl doll with angelic faces.
Two of my favorites are Marta dressed in a beautiful winter outfit and Alma who is new for 2014.
These dolls have 11 points of articulation. The head turns around but does not tilt down.
Here is a close up of Alma who was being raffled off to a lucky winner. She has blue eyes and blonde hair. The detail of her dress and boots are amazing. Her hair and eyes are of the best material. Outfits and shoes are also available for this size doll.
This is Marta, she is also very beautiful and has amazing strawberry wavy hair. Her eye color is so unique, it is a light brown color, which compliments her hair so well.
A better look at other dolls available by Paola Reina dolls.
The 16 inch dolls are named “Soy Tu” (I am you). This is Emma, again the detail of the outfit is amazing. She has sleepy eyes and is all vinyl. She has the typical 5 joints.
Soy Tu dolls come in many different combinations of hair and eye color. If you are interested in a more detailed up close look check out the post Maxine did on her My Doll Best Friend blog.
Paola Reina will be working on developing an 18″ doll in the future but for now, these gorgeous dolls are available on the USA website: www.paolareinaamerica.com.
What a wonderful opportunity the North and South America doll lovers now have to be able to add these dolls to our collection.
Oh wow! These are stunningly beautiful dolls. I’ll have to think about getting one. I’d like to see a comparison of these dolls and kidz n cats.
So cute!
How cool! Perhaps I’ll make a few of these as paper dolls.
Heather I too fell in love with these dolls, and I hope to add one to my collection very soon. As soon as she joins me, I will do a full review.
I’ve never seen Paola Reina dolls like this! I’ve seen Soy Tu (who is so adorable) I love the articulation!!!
Defiantly making it to my ‘want list’ for this year!
Wow! I don’t think I’ve heard about these dolls before. Thanks for introducing them to us!
the babies are so cute!
I love the 17 inch dolls so much! I think my wish list expanded! Plus I had a great friend named Paola from Spain, so I might need one!
On the doll website the description states these dolls have a vanilla scent. Does anyone know how strong it is – that could pose a problem for some children.
Oh my gosh oh my gosh!! These dolls are amazing! Will you be buying one, Diana?
I love Alma!!
Maria, the scent is extremely mild. It is very similar to Corolle dolls. To me it reminds me of baby powder and you have to actually get close to smell the vinyl. It is not like when you are wearing perfume at all.
Cool!
Wow! Beautiful!
Beautiful dolls and the outfits are so cute! Thank you, Diana, for telling us about this line. I look forward to more photos and comments in the future.
The are very pretty with beautiful outfits.
Visited the site you linked and LOVE the witch dolls and Monster Tia! Fabulous!
