Barbie Reviews

Watch the movie again and OPEN YOUR EYES. Erika
marries royalty in the end of the movie as far
as I know and so she does become a princess. Wake
up.

Erika in mini-scale is very cute! She is about the length of my hand in height. Her shoes are painted on, so kids won't lose them. Her brown hair is very long, about to her knees. The material she is made of is the same for any other regular-sized barbie doll. Her head can turn side-to-side, her legs can move front and back, and her arms can move all around.

Mattel paid great attention to detail! Erika's face is very detailed, from her nose to her lips to her eyes. Her hair has a teeny-tiny braid in front of her ribbon headband with flowers. On her hands you can see the individual fingers. She has on molded underwear, like the regular-sized barbies.

Now, her dress is amazing. How Mattel ever managed to make a dress so tiny, I'll never know. The dress is blue, pink, and white. There is a fake underskirt with pink sparkles with overlaps and printed flowers. Her blue overskirt has sparkes too, and the sparkles don't come off and get all over the floor. Her bodice has a little pink ribbon at the top, and her sleeves have lace at the ends.

She comes with a vanity mirrer and drawer that really opens, and her cat Wolfie from the Princess and the Pauper movie. There is also a pink comb and brush.

Overall, Mini Erika (the packaging says "Princess Erika" but anyone who saw the movie knows that she is not a princess!) is a very cute doll who won't take up space and isn't very expensive. A wonderful gift for any girl child or doll lover!

This doll is really pretty! So pretty, that I confiscated it off of my kids! She has such pretty hair, it seems a shame to let children ruin it. Her clothes fall off really easily, so it's hard to keep a descent outfit on her. My children did like the way she "lit up".Not very educational, but then again,I didn't buy it for that.

I'm very suprised of all these bad reviews on this toy. I mean, this toy is VERY cool!! And it really sparks your imagination. Her wings, clothes, and her crop top stays on really well!! Only her shoes didn't stay on. But that's actually fine with me. Her shoes are very thick, and in my opinion, they don't look good on Jewelia's thin feet. When you put her skirt on, remember to but the front part on first(It might not be on the instructions, but that is due to my own experiances.) then, when you snap on the the back part, be sure to clip on at least one part of the front skirt, so that the back part and the front part will be conected. After that, it won't fall unless you threw it, or simply removed it. Her wings are very very beautiful!! It sparks with 3 different colors, Purple, White, and Turqoise. It's very brilliant. I love her glowing teqniches. After you push the button at her back, her body, and her two legs will glow altogether, then, the right leg dims down, and then the body follows, afterwards, two legs darkened, then, all togaether, they glow again, and they stop. (I'm not really sure if everysingle Barbie has the same glowing system, so I had my own Barbie for an example.) Her whole body is like...see through, except for her legs. Her face is really cute, and her hairstyle is like...there are two pony tails at her back, and then, it's parted in to 3 parts, and at the front, it is highlighted blue, with a little remains of brown. Here are my explanations for my stars:

Fun: Defeinatly!!! I spend hours playing with her, and flying her around the house!!!

Educational: Not if you're learning about fairies!! but sometimes, toys are for people to enjoy, not to LEARN!!

Durablility: I'm not really sure, but due to her stiff body, it MUST last me for a looooooong time!!

Overall: This is a really cute toy, and i highly recommened it to any fairy lovers, or Barbie lovers. A very sweet barbie to add to anyone's collection. Hope this Helpes!!!

WENT TO THE STORE THERE WAS NO DIVERSITY THERE DOES IT COME IN BLACK ALSO?

We got my daughter this and other mini kingdom dolls for Christmas. She loves them she is 6. My other daughter who is almost 3 loves them too. But this paticular one is only 12.99 at Walmart. These are great because they store easy and the shoes don't come off- a plus for my 3 not quite 3 year old. I highly recomend these. The castle is neat too. It satisfied my daughter to get several dolls and the castle for alot less money than the huge castle that was way overpriced for a piece of plastic. They just need a prince. Maybe they will make one soon. As to the previous review I saw one at walmart that was African American.

We purchased this doll for our daughter and had the same experience as the previous reviewer - shortly after removing the doll from the hideous packaging (we actually got it out without incident) the head snapped off! Rather than go through the trouble of exchanging, I superglued it back on. Our daughter loves this doll in the collection, but the construction is highly suspect - we can only hope Mattel remedies this problem...

The head of this doll broke off when trying to get it out of the package. It actually broke off -- not just came out of the socket. Be careful when opening the awful packaging!

My 4YO loves Mermaidia and loves this Merfairy house. She now has the Elina mermaid doll, 2 merfairies and this house. With these items, she is able to play Mermaidia all day long. The Merfairy playset is really cool and has some neat features. There is the swing that you can put a merfairy in, or her pet. The shell elevator that the merfairy can sit in. A pretend sand castle with bucket and shovel, shell steps that lead into the merfairy playset, and a merfairy bed and vanity. Visually, very pretty and colorful, a little underwater world for your little girl's room. I highly recommend this to complement any of the mermaidia line you may have.

I bought this dress for my daughter and it was really cute, but is rather small. My daughter wears a 4t and this dress just barely fits her.

This play set is super cute- and nicer than most dress up outfits my daughter has, and the price was reasonable. It's a bit shorter than I would like for my 4 year old, so I can't picture it being long enough for a 6 or 7 year old. My daughter absolutely loves this dress!

This is a beautiful Barbie dress-up set! The shoes are adorable. The tiara and the dress are just precious on my little girl.

I bought this dress up set for my 2 girls at Halloween. This item is in no way worth $30.00, it's cheap and flimsy. The dress is made of awful material and does not fit very well, the shoes are dreadful. I doubt that I will ever purchase anything from this line again.

Nassau, Bah.

This custom is very cute, but I have a problem: the dress is very small for a 2 or 3 years old girl, and the slippers are too big for the dress(for a 6-7 years old), the wand is great and the wings are also very small but it matches with the size of the dress.

I have a 2 1/2 year old who LOVES all her little miniature Fairytopia sets, however...the little fairy figures seem to go missing very easy as they are tiny. This I don't have a huge problem with, what I have a problem with is the fact that I can't seem to BUY more tiny fairy figures!!! This would appear to me to be a big flaw in thier marketing of this product, as I am not going to go buy a whole new cottage just to purchase more fairies!!

This cottage is WONDERFUL!!! The little figures are adorable!They could worked more more on the figures though....if you look closely, you'll see that Azura and her bunny is quite close to ugly.It could have been a little bit bigger..like the size of a Polly Pocket!It's certianly very hard to control those tiny peices!!!The cups, table, and tea pot crumble down with one careless touch!! The idea of putting all those flowers are GREAT!!!I love the bench..and the door!!The sofa is extremly cute!Overall, it's a nice toy to have.I'm just a little fishy about the price...that's all.Well,Hope this helps!!

I think I was quite wrong about this....this is WONDERFUL!!I had more fun with it then I thought would be.And when you close it, you can see that it really forms a perfect close up Azura cottage interaction!!The Fairies are fine, and the little furnitures are soooo great!!Lots of the parts in the Cottage works, espicially the door!!I love to pretend that Azura and her bunny friend is out on a picnic right outside the cottage, and do all kinds of adventures with it.It is such a wonderful toyu to have!!(I said it was expensive because back then, I didn't really play with it, and my allowance was low.)Hope this Helpes!!
