Dolls Reviews

My 3-yr-old daughter received this as a Christmas present and she loved it at first. We hated it from the minute it was turned on. It is WAY too loud and there is no volume control. We even tried duct taping over the speaker and that did not really help. Then since my daughter is in ballet class she wanted to put her finger on top of Dora's head while she spun around and around and the next thing we know my daughter is SCREAMING bloody murder because her finger was wound up in Dora's hair and we could NOT get her finger untwisted no matter how hard we tried to untangle it. In what seemed like forever we managed to get a tiny pair of manicure scissors between my daughter's finger and the top of Dora's head - all the while my poor 3-yr-old is still screaming and crying and by now her finger has turned bright purple - and managed to snip through the very thick doll hair to free her little finger. I don't know who cried harder, me or our daughter. It was a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Needless to say my daughter then hated Dora (she called her "Bad Dora") and we packed her back in the box and sent her back. Do not waste your money on this one and if you have one don't turn your back on your little one with this thing - they are so fast and it only took two or three twirls from Dora for the damage to be done.

This doll does two types of dances, and both of them are annoying! There is no volume control, the songs are annoying and when a song ends "Dora" practically begs to dance again. That is when I beg "please don't push the button again!" I HIGHLY recommend you DO NOT buy this for anyone!!

My daughter loves to do ballet and wanted this toy soooo badly. Unfortunately shortly after recieving it we could not get it to do the ballet. The pin isn't working. She was soo cute all dressed to do ballet with Dora and it wouldn't work. The look on her face was heartbreaking. Don't waste your money!

I am three years old and have trouble putting the clothes on the hangers. The clothes easily fall off. I wish this thing was a little bigger because it doesn't fit all of Dora's clothes and accessories.

This is a durable toy with colors that are appealing to little ones. It is also cute - it comes with petite hangers and a basic dress. It is more work to put the clothes on the hangers and try to cram them in the armoirse than it is worth however. We usually turn the storage bin on it's back, shove the clothes, shoes, etc.

Great idea to hang clothes. The hangers are not long enough to keep the clothes on. If your child is like mine who loves to dress and re-dress dolls, the armoire is not big enough if you purchase more then 3 outfits. The price is great now. I paid $20. Great item just wish it was a little bigger maybe even a drawer.

it is hard to get its clothes on really hard and she isn't cool looking she is wearing clothes that are from old myscene dolls.


myscene rox ur sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chelsea is very pretty doll.When I first saw her I knew I had to get her.The price was well worth it but now she isn't avalable(bummer).She has brown silky hair, that's very durable and brown eyes.The colors and styles of the accssories shone in the picture may very.She comes with a second outfit that you can mix and match with the first,without making it look weird.Her accssories include a bag,sketches,some art supplies,a beret,some make-up,a book,a make-up box,a purse and a phone. There's also a charm bracelet for you.This is a great doll to add to your collection,and if you play with her she and all her accssories are very durable.HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!

Chelsea doll is a fun party girl on-the-go. When nighttime rolls around, she can change into her chic night fashions and hit the town in style. Chelsea doll comes with over 25 fashion and accessory pieces to help her transform from day to night, and there's even a totally hip charm bracelet just for you. Doll measures approximately 12" tall.

Dress pieces are hard to put on for 4 year old. Pieces are all over the place. Car doesn't fit both people easily. Trunk doesn't hold all pieces. Drive by this Covertible!!!

I don't know how some of the reviewers can say this is the best "Polly Car" ever, as two of my daughters have this car, and its just horrible for durability. The hood of the car breaks. I wouldn't recommend buying this car.

I got this toy for easter one year, and within a day the flower broke that could make the roof go up and down so i ended up getting a new one just because i thought the idea was really cool. But this toy is not very durable.

The product was great. It is for a little Doll which I did not know. But my daughter loves it.

I recently bought this toy-set for my youngest sister for her third birthday, and I am very pleased with the product. I purchased at the same time two Graco 16 in. doll babies (a boy and a girl) that fit the set perfectly. She is delighted to be a "Mommy" to her "twin babies", particularly since the items look so similar to what we used for her.

How ignorant can you be to make a comment such as " this toy promotes teen pregnancies" that comment was uncalled for and I think everyone should report it. It is a playset for a little girl and that's it, I'm getting my little girl one! Besides little girls harldy are thinking about bcomming teen moms! they are just excited that it's something just for them to play with

I bought this toy for my two year old daughter. She loves to play with all of the different bottles and put her baby on the potty chair. A good investment if taken care of.

My mom bought this for me last year and i've been playing with it ever since.it has everything that you need to take care of your baby.it has every thing used for real babies except everything is empty but thats ok because it lets you use your imagination to the extreme.i strongly reccomend buying this toy!

I have this set for my baby doll, and it's great
because it has a good variety of accessories for
her. I also have a baby care center, and these
accessories are ideal for use with it.

I like how you get a good variety of things
in one bag, and, of course, the bag is perfect
for keeping it all together, plus it's partly
clear so you can see what you have.

Also, this set is a good price and definitely
worth the money. I highly recommend it for any
girl who has a baby doll.

My 3 year old got this for a Christmas present. She chose to play with it for the first time on a night she had a babysitter. Not only were there no directions but she was extremely disappointed to find no dolls. We have been in search of them for 3 weeks now and cannot seem to find dolls anywhere.

My daughter received this toy as a gift for Christmas 2004. We had quite a time finding furniture and accessories to go with it. I felt like I had won the lottery when I stumbled upon the last of each of the three furniture sets at a toy store. We bought most of the dolls on online auction. We love the Bandai Strawberry Shortcake products, especially the dolls which are virtually non-existant now that they are out of production. My four year old will play with her "Stawberries" for well over an hour at a time. I almost cried when I saw the new Strawberry Shortcake dolls manufactured by Playmates. (They don't look a thing like Strawberry Shortcake.) This house is worth the money, though we have had a few problems. The window flower boxes pop off from time to time but are easily popped back into place. Last week the latch broke, but in all fairness we had had it for over a year with no problems in that area and I was attempting to force it closed during a whirlwind tidying up session and part of it snapped off. My daughter seldom attempts to close it and hasn't even noticed the broken latch. She still plays with it all the time. My biggest criticism of this product isn't with the product itself. I just can't believe that they produced such tremendous quantities of these (they were stacked high in toy and dicount stores during the holidays of 2004) while producing such a scarcity of the furniture sets and dolls. People went to stores after Christmas to buy furniture and dolls and found nothing but filles and the mermaid line of dolls, with an occassional plaid clad Strawberry. What was Bandai thinking? They should have released another supply of Strawberry and her friends in their traditional outfits for all the little girls who found Berry Happy Homes under the tree that year. I cannot help but wonder if production and marketing mistakes such as these were the reason behind Bandai's loss of the contract to produce the Strawberry Shortcake toys. Regardless, the whole thing stinks. The new Playmates dolls are nothing short of ridiculous and I refuse to buy them. If I were you I would buy this house since what is left of the Bandai products is disappearing fast and the Playmates people are obviously pretty braindead about what Strawberry Shortcake should look like.

I recently brought this house for my 2 1/2 year old that is crazy over Strawberry Shortcake. It is a really cute house with plenty to keep her busy for hours and she loves the fact that she can take it and her dolls with her when we go somewhere. I was disappointed that it is impossible to get any of the extra furniture that is shown on the back of the box and I am not paying $60 and up for what they are going a set on eBay when they sold for just $17.00 a set in the stores. It is a real shame what they did to the new dolls that came out made by Playmate this year. They do not even look like the Strawberry Shortcake we have all grown to love over the years. This house is worth the money if you already have the dolls that were made by Bandai that are 5.5 inches, because if you don't they are getting really hard to find except on eBay.
