    HELP! Black Mermaid Dolls?

    HELP!
    I have a booking to perform at a black little girl's birthday. Part of every birthday I do, I give the birthday child a mermaid doll. I just realized that I don't have any good black mermaid dolls. (I have a couple of SUPER cheap ones, but not gift quality.) I work a lot off of word of mouth and I can't give different children different quality gifts, regardless of ethnicity. It's just a crappy thing to do.
    Searching google isn't helping me very much, I'm also not the best at the whole internet shopping thing though. Does anybody know of anywhere that sells good quality darker skinned mermaid dolls? I don't mind ordering them online, or going to a store, but I'm having issues finding ANY! Can anyone help?


    These are the dolls that I have that I normally hand out. (Not my pictures.)

    These are the type of dolls that I have with darker skin. (Notice that even when you go to order they only show light skinned dolls!)

    I remember seeing someone who sold handmade dolls but those were also plush, Let me see what I can find though.

    Have you searched dollar stores in neighborhoods with high amounts of poc? Those are more likely to carry black dolls.

    UPDATE:
    found these ones


    Most of them are Barbies

    Merman Dan - THAT'S SO AWESOME! I've never heard of that company! I don't mind plush.

    Mermaid Momo - I can't find any at the dollar stores. That's where I get my other ones to be honest. Do you have any of the links for any of those dolls? ANY of those would work!


    And to clearify, I've found a few on amazon, but they are EXPENSIVE, like $25 / doll expensive. And I can't quite afford that. lol. I just don't want to give a low quality gift to any child.

    Walmart has a dark skinned Barbie mermaid doll, I bought it a few days ago.

    To be honest, I avoid Walmart as much as humanly possible. I guess I may have to though.
    Thank you all! It does slightly upset me tat I have at least 6 different Caucasian mermaid dolls for $1 and the cheapest non-Caucasian doll I can find is almost $10.
