This guide is only looking at actual dolls. There can be a fine line between dolls and action figures e.g Toybiz Deluxe range and plushes e.g NECA Talking Gollum Plush.
My definition of a doll, a; must have articulation, b; must have removable clothing and accessories.
I also only include commercially produced items, there are a lot of handmade dolls/clothing.
Collect Tolkien site has some good information.
