How do we know which ones are inside? I don't want to buy many of them and then find out they are the same dolls inside.
The basic doll (the ones that come in a ball) are pretty much $11, although sometimes you'll find them on sale through Target or Amazon for $9-$10. I find Amazon is actually you best bet (as long as you are not buying them from secondary sellers who are jacking up the price) as Target usually has limited stock, at least in store.
There is no way to find out what is inside before you open. If you only buy a couple dolls, its unlikely you'll get the same one but there is always a chance. There are also different "series" of dolls, so if you want to guarantee you don't get duplicates buy from different series.
