Yeah, I'm having the hardest time with this distinction around a doll... because Barbies are definitely dolls to me, but also sort of look like action figures. Some voodoo dolls look sort of plushy-like. I have a few creepy action figures or Christmas ornaments or disembodied heads... but I suppose none of them are exactly dolls! Will probably go take a trip to the local store or thrift shop and find something that works out better.
