The Must-Have Dolls of 2014 - The Prettie Girls! In-Store Retail Launch Is a Success

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2014) -  ONE WORLD HOLDINGS, INC. -- The One World Doll Project, a subsidiary of One World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: OWOO) yesterday announced that this past weekend marked the launch of the in-store retail distribution of The Prettie Girls! line of multi-cultural dolls -- and the results far surpassed expectations. On Saturday, doll designer Stacey McBride-Irby made special appearances in select H-E-B locations carrying the collection, to autograph dolls for eager children. Within just a few hours, the dolls completely sold out. "The genuine excitement of the children when they saw The Prettie Girls! made me proud to be the designer," Stacey noted. "Having happy and smiling kids line up to see the dolls made me feel wonderful; it's a dream come true."

The Prettie Girls! were so well received by H-E-B customers that store management eagerly placed an additional order, nearly double in size from the original, after the dolls sold out. "H-E-B was proud to be selected as the first retailer to offer The Prettie Girls dolls in select Houston area stores," stated James Harris, Director of Supplier Diversity, H-E-B. "We were especially pleased at the sales, as two of the stores sold through on inventories. I applaud the efforts of The One World Doll Project in meeting the needs of our customers."

"Many of the parents and children we met at the H-E-B stores told us that they are always on the lookout for dolls that look like they do, and were enthusiastic about the launch of The Prettie Girls! in their hometown," stated Trent T. Daniel, founder of The One World Doll Project. Each doll features relatable stories for children that help instill positive values of which parents can be proud. One local customer said, "When my daughter first saw the dolls in the store she immediately pulled me over to the table. I was so impressed with The Prettie Girls! that I bought Lena and Valencia dolls for my daughter and after I got in the car, I decided to come back in and buy one for my niece - these dolls are great!"

The Prettie Girls! are a unique collection of multi-cultural fashion dolls unlike any other toy on the market and reflect the evolving demographics of the United States. This launch validated the messaging and goals of The One World Doll Project -- it proved children are excited to play with dolls that they can relate to and that have fun stories to build upon. Children of all ethnicities were interested in The Prettie Girls! and wanted to play with Lena (African American) and Valencia (Hispanic). As America becomes increasingly culturally diverse, it is important for children to have appropriate options when selecting toys. The Prettie Girls! collection makes it possible for little girls to play with dolls that look like "me and my friends."
