Just Play HBCyoU Tuskegee Cheer Captain Alyssa 18-inch Doll & Accessories, Curly Hair, Medium Brown Skin Tone, Designed and Developed by Purpose Toys

I have both the CAU Cheer Captain doll Alyssa and the Homecoming Queen Nicole doll (the latter purchased off of eBay but pics posted here so if someone is on the fence, they know what she looks like). They’ve got silky smooth hair, and are very sturdily built with nice legs, arms, and a plastic torso. They’re constructed like AG’s Wellie Wishers in that respect but with a more durable plastic. This company was started by a woman who wanted to celebrate the “magic” and allure of the historically black colleges and universities in the US. They’re based in Plano, TX, and are owned by an African American female entrepreneur so you can win three times by supporting this company. The HBCyoU dolls are a more affordable version of the Healthy Roots dolls but just as important and just as important for diversification of your toy box.
