Born from our own journey as a military family striving to stay connected through deployments, UMBO began with a simple idea: creating a recordable book and doll that we ourselves wished we had. That idea became our mission—to offer high-quality, voice‑recordable dolls and companion books that bring comfort, connection, and the reassuring presence of home to families everywhere.

“If you’re looking for something to help your little one through a deployment transition, this is a MUST! The quality and resemblance to my son were amazing. He deployed sooner than expected and couldn’t record in person, so he sent me a voice message. I reached out to customer service, explained our situation, and they were incredible—helping me get his recording uploaded and ready. It arrived in just a few days and was PERFECT ❤️”

What Is a Daddy Doll?

A daddy doll is a comforting plush traditionally used by military families to help children cope with the separation that comes with deployment. These dolls are often printed with a photo of a loved one and may include uniform details to maintain a sense of familiarity and connection.

What Makes Our Daddy Dolls Special?

Unlike generic versions, our daddy dolls include a built-in recorder with over an hour of re-recordable audio. This means your child can hear your voice anytime—at bedtime, during moments of stress, or just to feel close. Combined with customizable uniforms, authentic details, and child-safe durability, our dolls bring emotional connection to a new level.

Bridging the Distance: My Hero & Our My Hero Fund

We never set out to start a business. It all started with the stories Matt and Mason created together. When Matt began writing, we were reminded of something that brought comfort to our family during times apart—storytelling.

From our experience as a military family, My Hero was born. Now, we’re honored to launch the My Hero Fund, supporting the children and families of heroes with dolls, books, prescription glasses, and more.

Visit our Founders Story and My Hero Fund pages to learn more about how we’re giving back.
