When a military parent is away, the My Hero Navy Doll offers military kids a way to feel comforted and connected, even from across the world. Created to resemble the military parent, this 14-inch huggable customizable kids military doll becomes a familiar presence during times of separation.
At the heart of each customizable doll ("daddy doll" or "mommy doll") is a removable, rechargeable audio recorder with over an hour of clear, re-recordable 16 MB storage. Parents can easily record new messages with their phone (no need to be near the doll), which means you can keep updating your child with loving words, bedtime stories, lullabies, or daily hellos from wherever you are. It’s a way to keep your voice present, offering comfort and a sense of closeness.
This listing applies to all branches – Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, and Coast Guard.
The My Hero kids military doll can be personalized with custom touches like DIY iron-on mustaches, freckles, or glasses. Each doll wears a handcrafted, authentic military uniform and can be customized with removable patches. You can even upload your service member’s real patch or design one on UMBO’s website to make it feel even more personal.
Made to last, the My Hero customizable kids military doll ("daddy doll" or "mommy doll") is machine washable and built with durable materials that hold up through everyday adventures. The removable recorder is easy to access, recharge, and update – no batteries required. Whether cuddled at night or carried through the day, this military kids toy is ready for it all.
Box sets featuring a recordable My Mommy, My Daddy series book are also available. These heartfelt books explore the highs and lows of military family life through the eyes of a child — from proud adventures to tearful goodbyes and joyful reunions. They help children process emotions while fostering pride in their family's service.
Whether you’re deployed overseas or simply away for a while, the My Hero Doll offers the same emotional comfort as a classic army teddy bear – only more personal, with customizable features and your real voice to help your child feel close, even when you’re far away.
