Surely, everyone has been seeing these baby dolls that are shaped like a baby and come with many types of accessories on their head everywhere online and in stores, but what are they and why are they so popular when it’s just a simple doll right?
These tiny cute male dolls are called Sonny Angels and they were made by Toru Soeya, who was a Japanese toy designer. The name of the doll comes from his nickname, “Sonny”.
They were made to specifically target the mid-20s working women who needed to escape from the stress and let out their inner child, not just that they are quite photogenic as they came with many stylish headwear and collections. Sonny Angels can also be decorated on top of a phone case as they have a collection which you can easily attach on top with the glued piece on the stomach of the Sonny Angels which were called hipper.
Sonny Angel comes in a blind box that you would have to buy and open the box up yourself to see which type of Sonny Angels you’d get, which is also another reason why people have a massive obsession with these collectable dolls.
Despite how precious and comforting these tiny male dolls can be, the price is certainly quite expensive for a tiny doll that is about 300-600 baht. It’s considered to be quite risky since when buying a new blind box, many may have to face the disappointment of getting the same Sonny Angels, making them want to buy more blind boxes to get the ones that are rarer. But if you have the money and you have been dealing with stress from work or any personal issues, this is a nice way of trying to free yourself from your problems, by buying Sonny Angels you will find happiness and comfort after buying one.
