Part of the fun of these dolls is the packaging — in fact, we’d go so far as to say the packaging is precisely what makes these dolls such a hit. Although the box itself is designed to be a part of the toy and not just the experience, not all are created equal. This particular playset has a geometric design with zodiac symbols, a ribbon, and star-themed accessories. Unbox the package, and there’ll be a LOL Surprise Present Surprise doll and accessories.

Pros:

• Includes eight surprises
• Series 2 doll inspired by the zodiac signs
• No need to wrap — the packaging comes with a bow on top and plenty of glittery decorations

Cons:

• There’s no way to choose a particular star sign
• Although this could also be a pro, there are only eight surprises in this particular series

From the beginning of the LOL phenomenon, the dolls and their accessories were held within a little globe. This Series 2 surprise is an original globe containing an adorable Lil Sisters doll and hidden mystery accessories. Designed as a baby sister to the standard LOL Surprise doll, this is an ideal gift for a big sister-to-be or a little girl who wants to be just like her big sis. Either way, the packaging is fun and the baby adorable, so we think it’s an all-around excellent choice.

Pros:

• Includes mystery accessories
• Collectible item as part of a 45+ piece collection
• Additional surprise when doll is immersed in water

Cons:

• There is a lot of packaging that you can’t reuse
• Best for an older child, as accessories are extra small

Frequently Asked Questions

Are LOL Surprise dolls safe for young children?
Because there are many tiny accessories, it’s best to keep these toys from small children still prone to putting things in their mouth. The typical age recommendation for these dolls is actually 3+, but you know your child best. If they like to chew on things, avoid these dolls until they’re safe from choking hazards. Each package will contain small accessories.

Is there any way to pick a specific doll?
Part of the LOL Surprise Doll’s appeal is that you can never know which doll you’re going to get. The doll on the packaging is rarely the doll eventually revealed on the inside. That’s part of what makes the unboxing so much fun — it’s a genuine surprise for everyone. There is a bit of a drawback with this, as it’s possible to unbox repeat dolls. But because LOL Surprise Dolls are released in series, only certain dolls are available at certain times. To avoid repeats, pick from different series.
