**WEICHPUPPE** are categorized as **regular "Play Dolls"**; *they have been specifically designed to develop and stimulate creative child play and are made with fabrics and materials that are both durable and capable of withstanding vigorous child play.* Play Dolls either have "rooted hair" or "wigged hair" made of kanekalon fiber. ROOTED HAIR is very durable as the hair is inserted directly into the doll's scalp and "sewn" from the inside out; WIGGED HAIR tends to be found on dolls designed for older children as it can be gently washed, brushed (with a wire brush), and styled. Play Dolls tend to have either plastic "sleepy-eyes" (i.e. eyes that open/close when the doll's vertical position is changed or "fixed eyes" (i.e. eyes that do not move). A Play Doll's outfit is made of high-quality, natural fibers and materials (ex. cotton); outfits are well-crafted and designed more for durability than for care and appearance. These dolls are mass-produced and are not designed by a specific Doll Artist. Play Dolls include both *regular play dolls* and *"Handcrafted" Play Dolls*. For the reasons mentioned above, regular Götz Play Dolls are the least expensive ***type*** of Götz Doll produced.

*Note: Certain factors influence these dolls' secondary market price, such as the doll's body type and facial mold desirability.*
