Bitty Twins

Bitty Twins are, in essence, Bitty Baby dolls that have been paired up as twins. Originally marketed as a boy and girl twin set, they are now released in various combinations.

Differences between Bitty Baby and Bitty Twins
Unlike Bitty Baby, who is now marketed as a girl, Bitty Twins have both boy and girl versions.

They are marketed as slightly older than Bitty Baby; originally, they could be seen as about 2-3 years old, it is now more appropriate to refer to them as about 3-4 years old.

Matched Sets
The Bitty Twins were released in 2003, marketed as young babies only slightly older than Bitty Baby. The set, a blond boy and a blond girl with a topknot, were sold in pink and blue sleepers. The girl had an open mouth, while the boy had a closed mouth smile.

Brunette twins were released in Fall 2004 along with new sleepers. However, the dolls were still marketed as boy-girl sets; the only way to have a girl set or boy set was to buy two dolls and sell or trade the unwanted twin.

2006 Remarketing
With a remarketing of the line in 2006, the dolls were aged up. Gone were the topknots and sleepers; the girls now sported ponytails with slightly longer hair that could be easily let down. The brunette girls were closed mouthed and the boys were opened mouthed.

The clothes were remarketed too--instead of being sold in sleepers, the twins were sold in playground sets that were much more mature. The dolls were also allowed to be paired up in varying groups, allowing a purchaser to buy girl sets or boy sets; the variations meant that twins could be composed into eight sets of twins. Clothing was also marketed to young girls, ranging from Girls' size 3-7.

2008: All Races
In 2008, after five years of the twins only being available in Caucasian, other "races" of the twins were released: these can be loosely interpreted as African American, Asian and Latino. The new girls had closed mouths and the new boys had open mouths, like the brunette twins. This leaves only the blond dolls different. With the new dolls the combinations expanded, especially as dolls do not have to be matched up by race. This now makes it possible, with the ability to match the same doll twice, to have 100 varying pairs of Bitty Twins. The

It is also possible to purchase a single Bitty Twin, but this is only available at the stores and boutiques.

Bitty Baby clothing was originally sold in pairs for the boy and girl; it was assumed that a person buying the sets would have two dolls they wished to match. With the remarketing in 2006, outfits were avaliable individually.
