Middleton Doll Company captured the beauty and innocence of childhood more than 30 years ago, and the company's commitment to quality continues today. Starting with the unique artistry of its founder, Lee Middleton, the company is recognized by doll enthusiasts as the industry leader of vinyl collectible baby dolls. Every year, Middleton Doll introduces more than 100 new Middleton baby dolls in various skin tones, eye colors, hair colors, and sizes. Designed to look like real babies, each doll by Middleton Doll Company is sculpted by an award-winning doll artist who incorporates incredible detail into every crease, fold, and curve. Dolls by Middleton Doll set the standard for excellence.<br />
Lee Middleton sculpted her first dolls to look like her own two children, and soon, relatives and friends asked Lee to sculpt dolls that looked like their children. Word spread quickly about Lee's talent and she soon found herself in charge of an unexpected "cottage industry." <br />
Middleton Doll Co continued to lead the vinyl doll industry for more than a decade, but in 1997 an unexpected shock forced employees to examine the future of the company. Lee suddenly died of a heart attack. Company officials had little time to mourn Lee's death. They had to find another doll artist who could create the lifelike faces that made Lee's dolls tops in the industry.<br />
Be it divine intervention, or a just a stroke of good luck, a little known Canadian doll artist would soon take Middleton Doll in a whole new direction. In 1998, a death in the family almost kept Canadian doll artist Reva Schick from showing her dolls at the International Toy Fair in New York. Fortunately for Middleton Doll Company, Reva's sisters-in-law recognized her talent and insisted that they show the dolls for her. At Toy Fair, several companies expressed interest in Reva's work, but only Middleton Doll Co was a perfect fit for Reva. Just like Lee, Reva has a strong religious background and credits her artistic talents to God. Lee always tucked a tiny Bible into each doll box, and Reva wanted to be the one to continue that tradition.<br />
Gifted doll artists Reva Schick, Eva Helland, Jane Pinkstaff, Michelle Fagan, Pat Moulton as well as many others joining the Middleton Doll family of artists insures the continuing development of incredibly life-like dolls, which create intense emotional bonds between collector and doll. The line also includes Middleton doll furniture, like baby doll cribs, baby doll rocking chairs, baby doll benches, bedding, sleigh beds, décor sets, Middleton doll clothes, lamps and pretend stoves and refrigerators.
