That really is too similar. They couldn't even change the colors?

Vermonth has the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory where you can make bears, like Build a Bear; I'm not sure which came first though.

Wow, the outfit on the first girl looks A LOT like Marisol's. [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] I wonder what Mattel is going to do once they find out about that!

Here we have the Lotus Onda Princess Dress-Up outfit and Elizabeth. The only true difference between the two get-ups is that Elizabeth's gown is a bit darker, and the Lotus Onda comes with a spiffy hat. *Love that word... say it with me... spiffy*




And here we have the Lotus Onda Inuit doll and Marisol. Yikes, everything is EXACTLY the same in their outfits.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">We have a Wacky Bear in our local mall. The nearest Build a Bear is about an hour away so it's a nice compromise. My dad took DD there for her bday this summer and she made a dinosaur. Then my SIL gave my 2yo DS a GC for his bday last month and he made a black cat.

The nice thing is it wasn't nearly as crowded as I've seen Build a Bear's get!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes there is a wacky bear in what used to be the nearest mall and it is a replica of build a bear but now build a bear is closest

I'll have to check out my local Sears store and have a look at the dolls and the outfits.
Some of the outfits do look very similar to American Girls.
