The good news is that there are six different sets from which to choose. The bad news is that you'll have trouble picking just one. A winner of the iParenting Best Products Award for 2007, these magetic doll sets from Mudpupy combine everything you loved about paper dolls and Colorforms (remember those?) and turned them into little travel-friendly dolly dress-up sets. The City Girls set is shown above (and there are more pictures after the jump), but all six sets are available from the manufacturer for $14 apiece.
