Barbie Reviews

I was so excited to get this doll by mail order but when I got it, I was disappointed by how different the doll looked. She is much more beautiful on the picture than the doll itself. Her face isn't pretty and is mean looking. Her hair was flat from being inside the box and it just looks very unflattering. The dress is nice, but I was hoping that at least she looked decent. The chocolate obsession barbie isn't pretty either and the citrus barbie has a darker skin tone than on the internet picture. Overall, I think that Mattel should fix their faces to make them look prettier, not creepier.

If you love Barbies, you'll love this doll. My daughter has her displayed...that is what she wants her for. She's not really a play toy, but she's beautiful to look at.

What I would like to know is why this doll even comes up under Barbie search on Amazon. It's not a Barbie. It's not even made by Mattel and it looks like one of those generic dolls you buy at the local Drug Store. You know the kind I'm talking about the ones that cost about $5. I don't buy generic dolls because whenever my girls have recieved any they fall apart and are made of hollow plastic.

I got this doll for xmas and I was disappointed. She has a cheap jumpsuit with cheap stickers on it. The suitcase broke after playing with it once. This doll is really cheap. She has stiff hair and she smells weird. This is one of the ugliest dolls I have ever gotten!! Don't buy it it is not worth the money and she is cheaply made!!! It is bot a fun doll to play with.

I found this doll by doing a search for Barbie. In the description it says "You know who but...", alluding to the doll being a Barbie. I suppose I should've known better but I guess I trusted Toys R Us & Amazon. The doll is okay, but not worth what I paid for it as it is just a generic doll in a blue jumpsuit with some cheap stickers attached.

For some reason, I thought I ordered this doll from another store until I reviewed my account and found the order here. The doll's hair looked as if it had been washed and heated over and over. It was coarse and crinkly instead of smooth the way NEW doll hair is. My daughter had anticipated receiving this doll for a year, but she doesn't play with it because she can do nothing with the hair. I usually return damaged items, but we threw away the box and packing material, and I just decided to accept this as a loss.

My 6 yr old *really, really, please mama, can Santa bring me this for Xmas, please!!!!" wanted this. Her aunt gave it to her for Xmas and she was so excited. Until we actually went to play with it. The makeup on/off with water DOES NOT work. The polish DOES NOT work. The hair is SO KNOTTED that even I (mom) couldn't get the special comb thru it. We followed the directions and this is just a disappointing toy. My daughter asked if the company (Mattel) tricked us and didn't care if it worked like it was supposed to. DON'T buy this toy.

My 3 year old loves this, she got it 2 days ago and has not stopped playing with it. The hair was matted and needed to be brushed out but is fine now. The make up with water didn't work as well as i thought, but I microwaved some water to make it hot, and the make up now works great. Overall I say it is a great alternative to real make up styling heads, that are to much mess for little ones with wondering minds!!

Bought two of these sets for my daughter's 5th birthday party, and though the packages appeared upopened, all the sunglasses were badly scratched. I was unable to get a response from the company that makes the sets. Nothing but the box and the glitter glue bottles in the set say "Barbie." This all-around poor-quality item can be better substituted by party favor sunglasses from a party store and some stickers and glitter glue from your hobby store.

What a disappointment to order this Barbie sunglasses kit for my daughter's fifth birthday party and end up with glasses that were so scratched and hazy that I couldn't even see out of them. It didn't appear that the package had been opened, but the glasses were so poor in quality that I had to buy some (much cooler!) party favor sunglasses from a party outlet store as substitutes. I e-mailed Tara Toys but got no response. The only things that say Barbie in this set (besides the box) are the glitter glue bottles. If I had it to do over (and had the time before the party), I'd buy the stickers, glue, and "gems" at a hobby store instead. The idea is a great one, but don't take a chance on this set!

This scooter is awful. My rather small 5 year old received it as a gift and was constantly catching her foot on the training wheels trying to make it go and w/the trainers off there isn't enough room for her feet. It's definately going back to the store!

I bought this scooter for my daughter's 4th birthday. She loves it. We did encounter one problem though. Her foot kept hitting the training wheels when she would push. Since she wasn't ready to go on just two wheels yet, my husband took ONE of the training wheels off. This works great! There is still one on for balance, and her foot doesn't hit anything when she pushes. She loves the bag on front, too.

Extremely poor quality. My daughter also caught her foot on the training wheels like the other 3 reviewers discovered. I think we might have a class action suit against Dynacraft.

Not to mention we could have got something else for the same price and twice the quality and it is already assembled. It would also support local businesses that are being driven out by companies like Amazon.com Not worth the money or the effort to even open the box and put it together. Not to mention to pain and expense of take it apart and putting it back together to send it back to get our money back. Shame on you Dynacraft and Amazon.com for not screening the quality of the products they sell! I will tell all family and friends to never purchase a Dynacraft item from anyone.
