Are there any non blonde/blue eyed dolls out there that don't cost an arm and a leg?

Don't get me wrong, I think the blond/blue eyed dolls are adorable, but my family is Asian - and if I'm going to buy a doll, I'd prefer my DD to have a toy that somewhat reflects her family, or at least doesn't reinforce that blonde/blue eyed is the "only" kind of beauty. I know American Girl sells such dolls, but I'm not at the point where I want to fork over 100 for a doll. My budget is up to $20. Are there any options for me?
Thanks! |

| I think Corolle has some Asian dolls, but they are probably around $30. Pretty sure I've seen them at Child's Play in DC. |

| Aren't there Barbies and Bratz dolls in every ethnicity? I don't particularly like the Bratz dolls, but they seem pretty diverse in their commercials. I used to have a Japanese and Hawaiian Barbie when I was little. |

Op here - thanks - yes I've seen the Corolle dolls, but they are $45-55 dollars too!
The doll doesn't have to be Asian, it can be a brunette or "dark" haired. (just not blonde  )

| I don't know how you feel about Groovy Girls, but they definitely have brunette dolls, and they're under $20. |

OP here - to the PP who took the time to do the search that I should have done had I not been so lazy and taken the easy way out.
THANK YOU THANK YOU I really appreciate your ideas, and will choose something on Amazon for sure. And all the replies, thanks a lot - it's nice to see a diversity in the dolls... |

| Target has an dark-skinned, dark hair barbie named Nikky. |

| No problem--I do lots of online research for work, and evidently for fun, too! |

| Also, look at the baby Stella doll. It comes in difefrent skin and hair colors. Its super soft and cuddly. Baby Stella (with blond and blue like us) was my DD's 1st doll and she was sooo cuddly with her. DD still loves her 4 years later. You can see her on Aamzon or google her. |
