That doesn't sound too hard, just have a toggle on the products to set the shipping as free. Then when you are calculating your shipping charges, check the flag for this setting when adding up the totals. I have this anyway, since there are lots of items that normally you wouldn't charge shipping for (like magazine subscriptions), it's a fairly standard shopping cart feature actually.
If item-by-item might be too tedious (depending on how many dolls you are selling) you'd just need to add some bulk edit setting to do this as well. In my product, I have an edit form where you can change the settings on a filtered group of products at once, that would work well for this. Depending on what you already have, that might be something useful to add, or you could write a function just specifically to do this shipping function.
