The life like doll is set to be one of the most sought after toys of the year.

The doll has been shortlisted by superstore Argos as one of the top toy predictions of 2017- where parents are preparing for Christmas and ordering now for little ones.

The toy which everyone wanted to get their hands on last year - The Hatchimal - is now being shaded by this new toy with it's loveable and realistic look.

Luvabella can play peek-a-boo, be tickled, react when spoon fed or given her soother- and even comes with a mini cuddly toy she can play with.

The doll will set you back £99.99 and is suitable for 3+ years and is to come in a range of ethnicities, and boys can bring home a male version too.

How to pre-order Luvabella

Smyths have a pre-order service for the popular toy, where desperate parents will prepare for Christmas this year to avoid missing out.

The store is expected to get the toy back in stock October 1.

Other stores are expected to also stock the highly anticipated toy- while release dates are yet to be announced.

But keep an eye out here for any further news on the Spinmaster release- and in the meantime, here's the doll in action at a toy fair earlier this year.....
