How to Take Care of an LOL Surprise Toy

Make clothes for your toy if you don't like the plastic clothes they come with.

• The plastic clothes aren't as flexible if you're trying to move your doll/pet's arms and legs. They also can be quite difficult to get on sometimes, especially the pants.

Make clothes using materials other than fabric. There are many materials you can use for making clothes. If you don't have fabric nearby, use balloons, gauze, paper, etc.

• Cut the bottom of a balloon and slide it onto your doll for an easy balloon dress.
• Measure your doll, cut two pieces of an item of clothing, and glue the two pieces together at the sides to make paper clothing.

Feed the tots and pets with water using the bottles they come with. Each L.O.L. pet or tot comes with a bottle that matches the style and colors of their clothing.

• Prepare a container filled with water.
• Put the bottle inside of the water and squeeze the bottle. This fills the bottle with water from its straw.
• Put the straw of the bottle inside of the tot/pet's mouth.
• Squeeze the bottle gently. The water will come out of the pet/tot's mouth if you squeeze the bottle hard. You may even break part of the bottle.

Make fake food for your doll. Don't feed them with human food, because it could get stuck inside of their tiny bodies.

• Use erasers that look like food. Some food erasers can be put together like a puzzle. These are usually sold in stationery stores.
• You can also buy doll food in toy stores or online.
• Make your own doll food using materials you have. Some options include clay and Play-Doh, paper, hot glue, and cardboard.
• Do not stuff the food into the doll's mouth. Gently feed him/her, or else the food will likely get stuck in the doll/pet's mouth.

Set up a doll house for your L.O.L. toy. There are many ways to get a dollhouse.

• You can buy one at most toy stores.
• L.O.L. Surprise also makes its own doll houses, like the Home Sweet Home house, the Winter Chalet and the House of Surprises mansion.
• For a cheaper option, you can make your own doll house. You can make a doll house out of many home materials like cardboard boxes and shelves.

Make furniture for your L.O.L. toy. L.O.L. dolls are 3 inches tall, so make 3-inch furniture to your doll house. O.M.G. dolls are 9 inches tall, so make 9-inch furniture. If you've purchased one of the L.O.L. Surprise houses, you won't need to add furniture because the houses come with furniture and accessories already.

• Add accessories like beds, closets, drawers, and carpets to the bedrooms of your doll house.
• Add furniture like a sofa, a fireplace, a rug, a table, and a TV to the living room of your doll house.
• Add accessories like a fridge, freezer, stove, and microwave to the kitchen of your doll house.
• Add accessories like sinks, bathtubs, cabinets, and showers to the bathrooms of your doll house.

Look for big, round eyes on the figure. Do the eyes take up 80-90% of the doll's face? If yes, you're probably looking at an LOL doll.

• Other dolls, like Barbie/Chelsea or Bratz dolls have more proportionate eyes that take up around 30-40% of their face.
• Rainbow High dolls have eyes that take up around 40% of their face.

Look for a small mouth on the toy. LOL boys, girls, pets, tweens, and teens all have small mouths compared to more proportionate dolls like Barbie and Bratz dolls.

• Bratz and Rainbow High dolls have big lips, Barbies have medium lips, and LOL tots have small, open mouths to put a bottle in.

See if the doll has a large head.

• Barbies and Bratz dolls have heads that take up 20-30% of their whole body.
• Since L.O.L. tots are only 8 cm (3.1 in) tall, their heads take up 40-50% of their whole body!
• If your doll has a huge face, tiny mouth, and big round eyes it might be an L.O.L. doll. O.M.G. dolls have proportionately larger heads than Rainbow High dolls.

Put L.O.L. pets, tots, and Lils in ice water or warm water to color change.

• After you put L.O.L. toys in ice water or warm water, some dolls' bodies will change color.
• Some dolls reveal a swimsuit, some dolls have new tights/gloves/accessories on their bodies, and some might even get makeup in the water!

Check for a logo on the bottom of the doll's head.

• If the head has words that say, " ©MGA China" then it is authentic.
• Older dolls (from 2016-2021) say "©, the year it was made, and China" on their heads. If the head says something else/doesn't say anything then it isn't authentic.

See if the doll's painted well. Yes, sometimes even authentic ones have paint mistakes, but fake ones are really bad quality.

• If the eyes are barely visible, the hair is painted badly/there's bald spots, then it's guaranteed to be fake.
• Real ones are painted well, and if there's a paint mistake there's only a little error.

Check if the doll has bald spots or frizzy hair if it has rooted hair.

• Fake dolls oftentimes have spots with no hair at all, or hair that is frizzy and not neat at all.
• Real dolls have smooth hair. There are no bald spots at all, and if the doll has a specific hairstyle there might be lots of glue in the hair.

Try to move the doll's arms and legs. New dolls sometimes have stiff joints, so move them a couple of times.

• If the doll has no joints/you can't move the limbs at all then it's definitely fake.
