Wondering how to explain Covid-19, coronavirus, and the current global pandemic to your little one? Well, MGA Entertainment, the makers of LOL dolls, have got you covered. Introducing the LOL Covid-19 doll. A great teaching tool for frightened children? Perhaps. A shameless ploy to exploit an international health crisis? No comment.
If you are thinking about buying the LOL Covid-19 doll, here are 5 things you need to know about the MGAE Cares Limited Edition Frontline Hero (also known as the LOL Covid-19 doll). But first, check the price of this doll on Amazon.
1. The LOL Covid-19 doll is limited edition for the pandemic.
The LOL Frontline Hero is there to represent all the people working tirelessly to analyze and fight coronavirus and Covid-19. This little cutie seems to be a researcher trying to find a vaccine for all of us.
Buying this doll also does a bit of good. $1 from the sale of each ball (that’s about 10% of the retail price) is donated from the sale of the LOL Covid-19 doll to the MGA Entertainment Cares nonprofit. The organization donates money to fight Covid-19 through its Operation Pac-Man. Here’s what MGAE Cares had to say about the initiative on its website:
“Operation Pac-Man donates these necessary supplies to our frontline responders, who heroically risk their lives to provide the care that our communities desperately need. We are using our distribution connections to gain access to supplies, buying them at cost, and donating them to medical workers.”

2. The doll is PhD B.B.
Just as a few LOL doll lovers and parents have suspected, the LOL Covid-19 doll is Phd B.B. Her name is different, but it is the same Series 3 Confetti Pop doll in a face mask sticker. MGA Entertainment said this in a press release. Take a look for yourself.
If you already own a PhD B.B. you will get the same doll if you buy the Frontline Hero. If your little one always wanted PhD B.B., then you’re in luck.
3. The doll does not color change.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding LOL dolls as of late. While some of it is well-founded, many LOL dolls do not color change into suggestive or inappropriate outfits. The LOL Covid-19 doll is one of them. This doll does not color change as her water surprise, so rest assured that there will be no awkward conversations at the end of the unboxing.
4. LOL Covid-19 doll comes with 7 surprises.
What would LOLs be without the surprises? Here’s what this cutie comes with:
- MGAE Cares sticker
- Bottle accessory
- Sticker face mask (be careful when taking it off because it’s just a sticker)
- Pearl necklace
- White lab coat outfit
- Pink boots
- Tots doll
5. The retail price of the LOL Covid-19 doll is $9.99.
This doll is limited edition and only a few are being produced, so prices online have been all over the place. Check Amazon and if the price is close to the retail price, BUY IT! If not, check Walmart.com. Be sure that you are buying directly from Amazon or Walmart by checking the name next to sold by and ships from. We recommend only buying from official channels, not third-party sellers, to reduce your chances of getting a damaged doll.
