Early retirement for Sasha and Malia

You can't buy Ty's Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia anymore...they are retired. So if your little politically savvy 6-year-old is longing to play with the First Children, you're going to be paying top dollar on eBay. (They are already well over $100.)

While I can't even imagine how it might feel to know that your daughters have been the models for stuffed toys (and therefore can't relate to the Obamas' outrage about these dolls), I have always been a fan of dolls like Ty's...or the even cooler Groovy Girls dolls. They are the anti-Barbies...with normal body shapes and girlish clothes and hairstyles (though some moms might freak out at the outlandish hair colors and oversized feet). It's all better than the horrible images girls are being fed by publications like Teen Vogue.
