While pregnant with her second son, Kristen set off shopping to buy a special playmate for her older son--to help introduce the new baby and all that. She wanted a doll that was same-age, cool, and could withstand some serious play. Weeks on the hunt for an ideal toy, nothing turned up. There were baby dolls. There were cheap, plastic dolls. There were lots and lots of girly cute dolls. There were plush dolls. But try to find a cool, boyish doll for your son. We dare you! We tried and kept turning up empty handed. Nothing hit the mark. And we were not alone. Moms, kids, friends, and families everywhere are clamoring for a boy doll. The mega-toy industry seems glued to its position that dolls must be super feminine and appeal to one market only. Enough already! So after brainstorming, lots and lots of napkin doodles, and market research, we dreamed up our Action Dolls. Boy Story was born!
