$176.94
The Ashton-Drake Galleries Lifelike Annabelle's Hugs Monkey Doll is a 22-inch realistic reborn monkey doll. It fits shoppers who want a more unusual realistic doll with animal styling instead of a traditional newborn baby look.
The detail work leans into hand-painted details and movable limbs for posing, which helps the doll feel more lifelike than a plain toy-style baby doll. The included pieces also matter: clothes or outfit pieces. That gives the product more out-of-the-box value than a basic doll-only product.
- Best for: 22-inch size, vinyl build, monkey doll design.
- Useful for shoppers comparing realistic reborn baby dolls by size, body feel, and overall look.
- Included details mentioned: clothes or outfit pieces.
- Customer feedback gives you extra confidence before choosing it over similar products.
Its review history gives you more to work with than a thin, unproven reborn doll option. Compare it by size, body style, included extras, and overall realism before choosing the doll that fits best.

Annabelle is a very high quality and adorable monkey doll.
My 98 year old Mother with dementia has been asking for a monkey. She lives in a care facility and I have brought her various dolls and stuffed animals in the over 4 years that she has lived there. Nothing I have brought has made quite as big of a hit with the patients and staff as Annabelle. Everyone follows my Mother around to get a turn to hold Annabelle and have a picture taken with her. She is very well made and looks very lifelike. She is a bit stiff and her head doesn't turn but looks quite real. I can see that she would not be good for a young child because he hair is delicate but would be great for an older child or an adult. I am extremely happy with this purchase. She has already brought so much joy to many and is quite the conversation piece. I was so happy that I just ordered another monkey doll from the same company that makes Annabelle. When she's not at Mom's, she stays on the bed in my guest room. I love her as well.

this beautiful doll is wonderful!!
I got this doll for my sister who recently suffered a stroke and was lonely....she fell in love with her and carries her everywhere, including the grocery store. She has been stopped by strangers wanting to see her and touch her and of course, get a picture of her. She looks alive, and is just huggable by anyone. I would recommend her to anyone. You could never put a price on the change it has made for my sister.

Very lovable & nurturing
I ordered two. Shipping was fast once sent. Took two days to receive. Ordered them on a Friday received them today. Thursday. Well packaged. She is a cutie. Very photogenic. Her outfit is custom made for her. So it hides all material etc. she has a diaper on. She does hold on to you and hugs. She can also pose in different positions. She loves playing with her feet and going on piggy back rides. She’s not a comfortable snuggle orangutan. I purchased the baby Umi from a different company and she’s silicone. She’s adorable. YoMe (Annabelle) loves her baby sissy. Loves comforting her & letting Umi suck her finger. My mom’s a Annabelle does move her head size to side easily. Mine doesn’t move at all. It’s stiff. so they are sending a replacement & mine is going back. Can’t wait for the new one! Very difficult to hold if head won’t turn. If your carrying her in arms her head needs to turn to the side instead of straight. Just like if she’s hugging you, her head should turn to one side. (Manually turn it) So if your buying an Annabelle I highly recommend. You can position her arms while on her back and pretend your tickling her and move just her feet and her hands & arms will move at same time. You can move her feet while on her back and teach her patty cake. If you use her hands to teach her, her feet will move and patty cake. Can’t wait for new one to arrive !! Hope all these pics help you get a better look and understanding of her.

Cute, but head does not turn...
My daughter bought this for herself.... She was so excited, but a bit disappointed when she opened her because she had been studying this doll for over a year, and the head is supposed to turn, but it's glued in place, so it doesn't turn at all, but she has still fallen in love with her...
