However, now many parents have discovered that some models of the popular dolls come complete with fairly detailed genitalia, or wear g-string style bikini bottoms – and this is causing quite the uproar.
Many took to Facebook and Twitter to slam the products for having a realistic outline of a penis and testicles, whereas the girls' version just has a heart-shaped hole.
Over on Twitter, more complaints have poured in.
It didn't stop there:
Many parents are sharing concerns online, claiming that the dolls, their anatomically correct genitalia and their skimpy underclothing is grooming children and forcing the concept of sexuality on them from a very early age.
However, speaking to the Daily Mail, the company behind the LOL Surprise Dolls reveal they have no plans to change the design of the dolls, and points out that the presence of genitalia is signalled on the packaging."All of our LOL Surprise boy dolls have been (and will continue to be) anatomically correct," MGA Entertainment CEO and Founder Isaac Larian told DailyMail.com in a statement.
"We believe in the importance of clarity and authenticity with our products and our consumers, and this approach has been carried through all of our products over the past 40 years. In the doll category, anatomically correct dolls have been available for many years. We currently have a notification on all packaging, and even on our web copy that states the LOL Surprise! boys are anatomically correct."
