Abstract

Abstract A reversible doll including a head having two back-to-back faces with different features formed thereon. The head has a protruding annular flange dividing it generally along a vertical plane when the head is upright, thereby separating the two faces. A garment including a hood portion and a torso portion are provided to cover the doll. The hood is secured about the flange so that one of the faces is in the interior of the doll while the other face is exposed through an opening in the hood. The doll can be transformed by turning the clothes inside out with respect to the flange so that the previously exposed face will then be covered by the hood portion and vice versa.
