*REVIEW* 18" Texas Girl Dolls (H-E-B)

Linda has a review of her Texas Girl doll
 


*Note these dolls are only available at H-E-B during the holidays.


 This is my Texas Girl Doll from H-E-B grocery store.  I bought her several years ago for my young granddaughter who wanted an American Girl Doll.  She was too young for one at the time.  I think the store sold them for $15.00 and I got a $5.00 off coupon for the doll in the mail making her only $10.00! This is her original meet outfit minus one boot that was lost. She can stand by herself, but is now a little wobbly as she has been played with a lot by a small child. 




   She has the thickest hair of any doll that I have ever seen!  It is rooted and so shiny!!!!
 

 Her hair does not look good in this picture, but it is great!  The pictures don't do her justice.

 

 Here she is beside an AG doll for comparison.  They are both 18 inch dolls.



AG dolls can wear Texas Girls Shirts and shoes, but not fitted pants.
Texas Girl had extra outfits for $8.00.  I bought the ones with elastic in the waist and they fit fine. (PJ's, Basketball outfit with shoes and ball, hiking shorts outfit) At $8.00 for shirt, shoes, scarf that all my dolls could wear and Texas Girl would wear the shorts.  I also got another cowgirl outfit.
 

 Caroline is wearing Texas Girl's other cowgirl outfit.  These boots are rubber and I had to cut them down the back.  The boots she came with are like OG boots, faux leather.  Texas Girl is wearing an AG outfit. Nikki is wearing Texas Girl's basketball outfit, ball included.  Gracie, a Jesmar doll is wearing another Texas girl outfit.

 
 This last picture is of 12" Texas Girl doll.  I saw them in the H-E-B stores Christmas 2013-2014.  I hope they are not replacing the 18" dolls.  I tried to call H-E-B headquarters in San Antonio to find out and haven't heard back from them yet.  Texas Girl dolls have sleepy eyes. The only draw back is that their heads don't turn. I would recommend this doll if all their dolls have the same type of hair that my doll has!!!!

  1. Linda, thanks for sharing this. She certainly is a cutie and has gorgeous hair. You can purchase a pair of boots just like the missing one at Hobby Lobby.
