I worked on those dolls with my friend (and former boss) Sarah when I was the Director of Product Development at Chic Boutique. Real Friends was Toys R Us’ in-house brand and we would design exclusive dolls for Toys R Us loosely based on our existing doll lines. Sarah designed the outfits and I designed the exclusive spray masks (face paint) for the 2004-2006 Real Friends dolls. This is the same time that we had introduced the Hottiez to the market. We also created the in-house Glamour Girl doll line for K-Mart . My favorite budget line we designed was the Runway Girls! My friend Alen (whom I currently work with at MGA) and I designed Runway Girls around 2004. We included 2 detailed outfits, a doll camera, a doll cell phone, 2 pairs of shoes, sunglasses, a cardboard portfolio with 3 photographs, and the package base was a stand- all for $9.99! Runway Girls started the blow-molded body trend- but you couldn’t tell that our bodies were blow-molded because our body sculpt was beautiful! Ahh, those were the days!

I always saw these at the flea market. Looking back I wish I had gotten some. They’re so pretty. It’s crazy how the quality of a knockoff surpasses Barbie now.
I love them 💜 they are similar to the jakks pacific chic boutique dolls from the 2000s they used to sell them here in Latin America too under different names back in the 2000s 😭💜
They are gorgeous, never seen them before My favorite is the ballerina I have a Fairytale Princess Cinderella doll from Chic Boutique which is a knockoff of the Disney princess line, the body is made of cheap hollow plastic but the heap sculpt is more sturdy and with a beautiful screening and the quality of the gown is the same as these ones
I wanted a few of the Freshfinity dolls, they're beautiful but sadly not available outside of the US, maybe via the online store they have. Thank you for watching and commenting 💖
I’m very scary about the doll in the future… the quality is totally out of control. No fabric for fashion, and the collector quality for me growing up with 90’s Barbie it’s a big no!!!!
They're both really pretty, but I think I prefer the fairy. I like how many details she has in her outfit. Hard to believe these were the knock-off dolls....

Pixel Millie and her printed aprons can't relate 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The faces kinda remind me of Tanya dolls from Giochi Presiozi during the 00s

Wow❤️
OMG I've had that ballerina dress before! I got it randomly on ebay a long long time ago! I'm surprised this is where it came from!

These girls are so cute! Their faces kind of remind me of Fulla dolls.
How is it going?, that is gorgeous - later! 😈

Their faces are so unique such a pretty set 💕
i love redheads, but i'm liking the Fairy more. I had these dolls back when i got them at TRU.
They are gorgeous, never seen them before
My favorite is the ballerina

Oh i looked up Chic Boutique, the dolls are pretty 💞
the dress design and clothing is much much better than the latest barbie dolls released the last few years
I have one that I got thrifted, before that I had never heard of them.
They kinda look like flavas doll😭
I like fresh dolls. Do you collect those???
I got 3 of them and clothes packs a few years ago ,they are excellent

These days every doll ate Barbie ❤🎉since the beginning of Milli i think😢
The brunette is the best one in my opinion!
