Jan McLean is a doll-maker from Dunedin in New Zealand. She is regarded as one of the world's top dollmakers.[who?]
McLean's first dolls, "Chloe" and "Phoebe" were created in 1987. By 1991, she was exhibiting at the New York Toy Fair, where her doll "Pansy" won a Dolls Award for Excellence.
Many of McLean's dolls are limited edition dolls made of porcelain, but in recent years she has expanded to produce more affordable dolls in vinyl. These - the Lollipop Girls - are smaller versions of the porcelain originals and are intended as being "upmarket competition for Barbie".
