Perfect dark skin beauty with beautiful hair. The inner child in me was so happy when I touched her hair for the first time sigh. 2 complaints, I wish her hair didn't come so dry and 2. is it possible to not attach her hair to the box, because her hair is so coily, it was very difficult to get the attachments off and out of her hair. UPDATE: My 1 hang up with this doll is the hair, it really difficult to style. Maybe figure out another material to use for the hair. Still love her though, to me it's still a step in the right direction. 2nd UPDATE: So I looked it up and there are actually videos on how to manage the material they used for her hair. It really helped, so check it out. Review: Beautiful - This is one of my favorite dolls in my collection. I love the fact that we have black dolls that represent the beauty and diversity in black women's hair. Liya is one of my favorites because she has 4c hair. I have never had a dolls that celebrated the beauty and unpredictability of 4c hair. These dolls may not be perfect by some dolls collectors standards, but they are perfect by mine. This a beautifully made doll, with gorgeous fashions, and amazing hair for less than $15.00. I have no complaints and I urge parents to buy these dolls for their children so they can learn about the beauty in ethnic hair. These Naturalistas dolls are also an amazing addition to any doll collection. ## Features - Awards and Recognitions: desertcart's Toys We Love List, Toy of the Year Finalist. - Included: 11-inch Liya doll, removable outfit, and accessories. - Natural Hair Play: Celebrate natural coils, curls, and crowns with Naturalistas Fashion Doll, Liya. - Style Authentically-Textured Hair: Liya’s 4C textured hair and deep brown skin were designed to give kids a sense of cultural familiarity. - Liya Inspires Kids: Liya is an international model known not only for her intelligence, but also, her beautiful tightly coiled hair. - Dress And Pose Liya: Liya is poseable with 5 points of articulation and wears an elegant, sky blue glitter-knit dress, sparkly stud earrings, strappy heels, and carries a blue handbag. - Multiply The Fashion Forward Fun: Outfits are interchangeable with other 11-inch dolls and themed fashion packs from the Naturalistas Collection (each sold separately). - Naturalistas dolls and accessories help to enhance cultrual identity for children ages 3 years and up who seek cultural play experiences. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09WPRC847 | | Additional Features | 4C textured hair and deep brown skin tone, Interchangeable outfits with other 11-inch dolls from the Naturalistas Collection | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Animal Theme | no animal theme | | Best Sellers Rank | #335,081 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #5,051 in Dolls | | Brand Name | Purpose Toys | | Collection Name | Naturalistas Toy Figures | | Color | Multi-color | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 401 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Promoting cultural identity and self-esteem through representation and appreciation of natural hair textures | | Finish Type | Matte" or "Satin | | Hair Type | 4C textured | | Included Components | Naturalistas Fashion Doll Liya | | Inner Material | Plastic | | Item Dimensions | 2.75 x 5.75 x 13 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.75"L x 2.75"W x 13"H | | Item Type Name | Naturalistas Fashion Doll Liya | | Item Weight | 7.36 ounces | | Manufacturer | Just Play | | Manufacturer Part Number | 55040 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Manufacturer recommended age | 36 months - 9 years | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Naturalistas Fashion Doll Liya | | Model Number | 55040 | | Model Series | Naturalistas | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Occasion | New Year's, Party | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Outer Material | Plastic | | Play Activity Location | Tabletop | | Recommended Uses For Product | Styling | | Size | Dayna | | Style | Liya | | Sub Brand | NATURALISTAS | | Theme | Holiday | | Toy Figure Type | Doll | | UPC | 810052550404 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | character | Liya | ## Images ![Purpose Toys Naturalistas 11.5-inch Fashion Doll and Accessories Liya, 4C Textured Hair, Deep Brown Skin Tone, Designed and Developed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81y2gfW1lNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How well would this doll fit barbie clothes? Would they be too big or too small?** A: I have 2 sets. The shoes are a little big. The pink ones fits the curvy barbie feet ok. The robes are a little snug and the shorts gather between the legs. The tops are well made but they're more top heavy than an average barbie. **Q: Does the Naturalista doll bend the legs? What is the material, silicon or plastic? Many thanks** A: Hey there! The doll does not bend at knees or legs. She is made of plastic. **Q: Éstas muñecas tienen el cabello enraizado o no?** A: No se porque no la he sacado pero las muñecas están preciosas se ven muy naturales su cabello es precioso **Q: Will they pin the hair down in the packaging, because it's almost impossible to get it back to display shape?** A: I redid my dolls hair they have lots of beautiful hair . It was flat coming out of the box. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ younger me feels represented *by L***E on December 20, 2025* I love herrrrrrrrrr!!!! Perfect dark skin beauty with beautiful hair.

I love the fact that we have black dolls that represent the beauty and diversity in black women's hair. Liya is one of my favorites because she has 4c hair.

These Naturalistas dolls are also an amazing addition to any doll collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous Doll *by M***G on August 10, 2022* I finally received this doll and it was worth the wait. Beautiful. And it gets 5 stars simply for not binding the hair down (which would have totally ruined the look) like Mattel does with Barbie. Even after washing the hair on the Barbie dolls, the crease where they tied it to the card is still there and doesn't seem to go away. Sad. Also, the hands and fingers on this doll are stunning. Great detail. So the rest (that Amazon offers) are on order and can't wait to see them. Where's Grace? Just now hoping that the rest of the dolls don't have their amazing hair styles tied to the card. Amazon please use a shipping box and not the bubble mailers. I want to display these dolls, and the bubble mailers are useless in preserving the card and box intact. Thank you. ## Frequently Bought Together - Naturalistas 11-inch Liya Fashion Doll and Accessories with 4C Textured Hair and Deep Brown Skin Tone, Kids Toys for Ages by Just Play - Barbie Fashionistas Doll #189, Curvy with Crimson Braids, Sleeveless Love Dress & Accessories Including Sneakers & Hoop Earrings - Barbie Careers Fashion Doll & Accessory, Doctor with Curvy Body Type & Brunette Hair Wearing Doctor Coat & Flats with Stethoscope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/422115903-purpose-toys-naturalistas-11-5-inch-fashion-doll-and-accessories](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/422115903-purpose-toys-naturalistas-11-5-inch-fashion-doll-and-accessories) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
