Over on the Luvabella Facebook Group we’ve compiled a list of what we would like to see in a future version of Luvabella and a request that Spinmaster develops a version specifically aimed at adults. If anyone here has something to add please post it here.
Here’s the email I’m sending to Spinmaster:
A Luvabella Facebook group has compiled a list of what we would like to see in a second version/version made for adults of Luvabella/Luvabeau. Please see the list below.
Some of the ideas you may wish to include in a updated version for children. Others would be more expensive to implement, or you may believe inappropriate for children.
As you may already be aware of, this doll has so impressed some adults that a growing number have bought or wish to buy this doll for themselves. For that reason we ask Spinmaster to seriously consider developing a version of the doll specifically aimed at adults.
Adults would be willing to pay considerably more than $100 for a more sophisticated, realistic version. You may also be aware that reborn dolls have become much more popular in recent years and there’s developed a crossover between reborn dolls made for adults and baby dolls made for children, with some adults purchasing children’s dolls for themselves and some children wanting the Reborn dolls made for adults.
Here is the list:
1) hair
2) more clothes
3) ability to learn her name
4) built in rechargeable battery
5) a charging bed so she automatically charges when she goes to sleep
6) ability to interact with other Luvabellas
7) more touch sensors, especially in the face
more accessories she can interact with
9) more words and phrases
10) drink and wet system
11) an app to help her learn
12) more realistically painted, especially the face
13) softer, more flexible limbs
14) a time clock so Luvabella knows when it’s morning, afternoon, evening, nighttime, time to get up,eat,go to sleep etc.
15) varied hair and eye colour
16) some limited voice recognition
More details on point
More accessories:
A book she can interact with and learn from: you read her the story she interacts with you and then she can read the book too
A truck that Luvabeau can interact with, making brrm sounds and comments about
A hairbrush Luvabella/Luvabeau can interact with: they can ask to have their hair brushed, know when it’s being brushed and say thank you mama.
Ribbons, bows, slides and clips that Luvabella can choose to have in her hair.
Anything to add? Not so keen on the drink and wet system myself but others wanted it so it’s included.
