MGA Entertainment and Zapf Creation scooped 10 awards for L.O.L. Surprise!, Rainbow High, Little Tikes, Baby Annabell and Baby born.

MGA Entertainment’s Rainbow High impressed judges this year with its inclusive and diverse range of Series 4 characters (pictured). The Series 4 collection, which was awarded Platinum in the Best Doll category, has increased the brand’s focus on diversity, as two of the characters – Delilah Fields and Jewel Richie – have become the first two Rainbow High dolls to launch with visible differences: Jewel Richie has Vitiligo and Delilah Fields is Albino and is the first  Rainbow High doll to wear glasses. According to Circana data, Rainbow High is the No.3 Fashion Doll property and the No.1 fastest growing Fashion Doll.
