Q: Do some dolls come with the graduation cap and gown and not others?
submitted by Sara - 1 year ago
A: I have seen some of the dolls advertised with the cap and gown in the box and not sold separately. I would like to order the cheer captain doll with the cap and gown option if possible.

I disliked the fact that my team Capt Alyssa did not wear under garments. The doll is a Cheer leader, without under garments...was it an oversight , Manufactured not detail oriented, and to me it made the doll dress incomplete...the doll is nice size and it was for a honor roll gift to a seven year old... With the purpose of planting a seed to HBCU College Bound .Rated this doll a four based on its representation of a HBCU...more thought could've been given to the realization of Hair, and the representation of a cheerleader.

Beautiful doll but the hair came tangled and there was way too much of it. It needed to be washed and cut. Other than that it’s a great doll.
Great doll defective hair.

My daughter loved this doll. Unfortunately by day 3 the hair was matted and a mess. We had to return it I must have gotten a defective doll. The hair looked as bad as my poodles hair when he needs a groom.
Awesome

An absolutely beautiful doll. Was pleasantly surprised that she was much taller than expected; like a little person. A little pricey but for me worth the buy for my 5yr old grandaughter who attended a cheer camp and loved it. Can't praise the designer enough for purposely helping our little girls to know the beauty of their blackness. The "HBC You" is a priceless bonus and ever so clever. Great segue for educating on what these institutions are and what they have to offer.
I love this doll!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a high-quality doll. The hair is smooth and the paint is also not cheap. My daughter loves it she changes clothes and brings them to school. She plays it during recess. I recommend this doll to anyone.

The natural style of her hair is something that I wish more companies would do showing the confidence and BEAUTIFUL natural style.

Hope wears the most adorable outfit complete with an HBCyoU t-shirt, a letter jacket, and white plastic sneakers, all washable. Hope is sure to inspire.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves this cheer doll. She has beautiful features. The pom-poms are secured on her hand so they will stay on when moving her arms. Both the pom-poms and the shoes are removable. Quality cheer uniform and the facial detail are impressive. Her hair is very soft. The doll's sizing is standard so other outfits fit easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been making a conscious effort to increase the diversity reflected by our daughter's dolls and this is a fantastic addition. Love having opportunities to represent beauty of all kinds and foster conversations about respecting and valuing differences in ways that are impactful for our children!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've got a daughter who graduated from and one currently attending an HBCU. I got this HBCyoU Student Body President Doll for my granddaughter and she loves it. My daughters are so excited to see the representation. This is perfect. From her skin to her hair, to the clothing, the quality is excellent. The only thing I'd say is that I thought her complexion would be darker and the hair either thicker or coarser. Overall we love her and she will be enjoyed for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HBCU Student Body President Doll is gorgeous. It is refreshing to see a doll little girls can aspire to be like. It is rare to find dolls that look like children of color or mixed heritage. I plan to save this doll for my great granddaughter as I imagine this is what she will look like when she grows up. She will have a ball changing the clothes playing with this doll.

She actually can be used to play with many of the other dolls that are in many department stores! Her gown is interchangeable with other outfits(not included).
