My son LOVES Blue's Clues/Blue's Room so Santa Claus brought Blues Room Chicka Chicka Conga Blue for Christmas. He does like this toy and he likes to hear Blue sing. I am just a little disappointed with the mechanical sounds of this toy. The mechanical sounds are very loud; not smooth. They over power the music. The toy is also a little heavy for my son to carry around. Because of this he doesn't play with it much. For close to $30, that's not great.

2 1/2 Loves blue! She(blue) dances like(two hand functions)crazy,tail wags and says the ABCs,also makes some animal sounds.It's cheaper here,$19.99.Other places want $29 and up,plus shipping! Shipping was FREE and it only was $1.55 tax in Cal,. Same size as His Elmo.

I wanted to originally purchase a Tumblin' Tigger for my 2 yr old daughter for christmas. When it was all sold out, I hesitantly looked at the Elmo and Blues Clues characters. As I'm sure the Elmo one would have been great, I believe I made an excellent choice w/Blues Clues. First, when you touch her right paw,it sings the song, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" which I've read to her a lot. It's fun to hear her try and sing the story as well. It's a catchy tune that isn't annoying. Second, it recites the ABCs when you press her other paw. Blue will stop randomly at a letter, and says something that starts with that letter, and asks the child to help her make that sound. (ie, "C is for Cow, make a cow sound with me".) It's neat b/c she never stops at the same place twice. And last, Blue "dances" and wiggles her tail while she is singing, fun for the kids to interact with. A great toy, I am very happy with my end result as a gift.

We completely agree with all of the scathing reviews of this doll. My eight-year-old daugther received Amanda for Christmas and was getting bored with her by mid-afternoon. Even though we seem to have been lucky in getting one of the dolls with few "glitches"--after one or two tries, we had her programmed--my daughter soon discovered that Amanda "had talking issues" and was very demanding. The doll kept saying "You don't sound like Mommy" and "Will Mommy be back soon?" My husband and I also quickly became tired of hearing our daughter shout "YES!" or "NO!" in response to Amanda's non-stop questions. Within a week, Amanda was parked permanently in a doll crib in my daughter's room. Every morning she would wake at her programmed time (7:00 am) and go through the same series of statements and questions. My daughter refused to respond because she wanted Amanda to go back to sleep right away. Needless to say, I would not recommend this doll for children who get frustrated easily or for older children who will probably get bored with the doll's lack of true interactivity.

Amazing Amanda commercials did the trick for our four year old, and this was all she wanted for her birthday. We programmed her, and our daughter turned her off, which means we started over programming her. Programming her became very tedious, after the second time our daughter turned her off. Amanda had a lot of difficulty understanding our daughter. When Amanda would ask for something our daughter would grow tired of her demands, and start telling her no! Poor Amanda, we removed her batteries. Our Amanda doll is safely stored in the top of my closet, waiting for my daughter to grow a little older.

I've been looking at this doll for a couple years wanting to buy it for my daughter but it's just so expensive. After reading the reviews I'm a little worried. So I decided to go to ebay and buy a used one. Although I won't be able to return it for my money back I know she's had a previous owner so I can ask questions like about the lips and eye lashes. And she's A LOT cheaper! Also this way I can purchase Baby Anabelle. They both look like great dolls and I can't choose between them! LoL

This doll is cute to look at... until you use it and it begins to grow mold on the material. I took extreme care with this doll and it still grew black spots on the material. My daughter loved having a baby doll in the bath, however, the shower part never stayed together and was just a frustration.

I have to replace this doll have only having her for a few months because of the black spots (mold). Maybe I'll try the water baby that got good reviews. Very disappointed in the quality!

Okay, I would not recommend this doll because she grew black mold inside her suit and around her legs. Yes, she does have a loop so that you can hang her up but she really doesn't get dry. So . . . after a few months, the little lady grew mold. I always squeezed her body so the water would squirt out the holes of her feet to drain her too but I guess we just weren't able to get her dry enough. The mechanism for the shower is very difficult for a young child. It's hard for them to attach the fish to the tube and then squeeze to activate the shower mechanism. Well, the doll now sits in my garage and the fish is a nice chewing toy for my 16 month old daughter.

My daughter has enjoyed this doll for over a year now, and the doll has never shown any sign of mold or mildew. We use it in the pool and the tub. There are small holes in the doll's heels that allow any water to drain from the body. I hang it over the tub nozzle so that water will drip in the tub and air will flow around all sides of the doll. We have only used the float and shower in the pool, and that may be where they work best since the water is deeper. To fill the fish with water we simply keep it attached to the tube and sqeeze the fish while holding it under water. My daughter likes to bath this doll with real soap at home and "pretend" soap at the pool. It has been very entertaining for her.

Little BRATZ dolls need excitement in their lives & this latest version of a 30s Diner should provide an answer. This ONLINE-ONLY offering (Toys & Games) seems nowhere as big as its package (no surprise there!) - and the miniscule accessories (shrink-wrapped) should be banned immediately if there are toddlers in the family.

The food & dish items could be scanned on the computer & printed on card stock as backup. The original plastics are sure to be swept up with Christmas Tree needles. Food print-outs seem appropriate for the two CARDBOARD Bratz girls included with the so-called BONUS (plastic) blondie doll. Missing completely are the Bratz boy & girl dancers with a distinctly cardboard-y look (pictured on the box). As you might expect there is a disclaimer in very small print on the package bottom: "Contents . . . may vary from photos depicted on package . . ." The dance floor, by the way, is almost as tiny as the widely advertised SQUARE INCH of Indiana real estate recently sold on E-Bay.

We are asked to rate durability, etc., but more important factors to consider are the cost as related to the number of hours! days? any toy will grab your child's attention. An old 60s DINER at grandma's has much more authenticity and is eagerly hauled from deep in the Toy Closet year after year! Reviewer mcHAIKU is feeling somewhat jaundiced about this new toy already!

MY NAME IS DONESHA,AND MY WONDERFUL MOM JUST ORDERED THIS TOY FOR ME TODAY!I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT IT!IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT,BUT I'M PROBABLY GONNA GET A SNEAK PEEK WHEN MY MOM'S NOT LOOKIN'. ANYWAY I'M SOOOOOOOO GONNA LOVE THIS TOY!!!!!!!THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!!!!!!

I want this toy really bad. It looks like alot of fun. If you have this please tell me how it is like. I think it would be great for e every bratz fan like me. Its travle size so you cam take it anywhere.

mind you, the toys are durable and somewhat fun [...] Without the furniture, the Dora house is really nothing at all. Also, I don't understand why they included a sofa with the house, and then make another couch accessory, but the cushions ARE cute.

My daughter recieved the pool add-on, and she really plays with it more than she does the entire house!!

I guess I'm just disappointed after REALLY searching hard for these toys. I am definitely going to wait until the stores are stocked again and buy them at $10, which is more what they are worth.

This living room set is alot better than the bedroom set for dora. The couch pulls out to make another bed, it comes with two soft pillows, a colourful lamp, the newspaper and the coffee table that flips its top to make a tea set appear! the problems are though that the couch doesnt always allow for the heavy figurines to sit in it without falling off of it, wich can be dissapointing. Also somtimes i find that the couch 'pull out' section is detached from the rest of the sofa. this i am sure is my 1 yr olds fault though. But it does just snap back together, so its an easy fix if there is an accident! The rest if the accesories are fine though.

We bought the talking doll house and furniture sets, after looking for a while and finally completed the set just after Christmas. My 3 year old got this as one of the first sets and can not leave it alone. She plays with the sets and house every single day and her 6 year old sister has even joined in. I like the fact that there was a couch with the house and then this set, no one is without a couch and they each get one of the cute pillows to use and share the lamp and table. They're durable and make my 2 very happy. That's all that counts!

Giiiirrrrllll! Let me tell you! I went to the amusement park last weekend and I saw girls there under 13 years old, wearing bikinis and temporary tattoos on their lower backs! They were just switching around like it was nobody's business and the parents were just standing right there, thinking it was just so cute. Then the other day I saw this tall, skinny girl wearing a skirt so short I was sure the slightest breeze would lift it up. Fortunately for her it didn't, so she must've had it super glued to her thighs. Whatever! Bling Bling??? That sounds like baby talk! I can't believe everyone jumped aboard the dumb rapper bandwagon and uses that babble! For real! Anyway, this doll is a major $LUT and she might as well be wearing fig leaves! The doll's name should be changed to My Scene Gold Digger Barbie. Skip this and get a Dora doll for your daughter. Hollllaaaaa!

I LOVE my bling bling. SO COOL. I think you should get this doll myscene fans.

There isn't much to say about this Barbie,except that it's wonderful.I still don't have it.Buy it,I know I will,very,very soon.

I have a 3 year and 1.5 year old. Both love to play with the toy. The 1.5 year old does not like to do the hardwork of turning the lever for the jack to pop out - so she just pulls the red clip on top which makes the jack to pop out- Clever ;-)

Toy is a lot of fun (at least for the first few weeks) and my 3 year old had no problems with putting the jack back in the box.

Reminds me of the one I used to have. Easy crank, good sound, strong quality.

This is truly a great toy. No wonder it won the Dr. Toy award! We bought this for our little one when he was two and he just loved it from the start. One thing we spend time on is aural teaching which this toy certainly plays a part. In order to get the "ornery" clown back into the box, the song has to play completely and then you hear a little click, that's when the clown will stay in the box. Teach your child to listen for that click and you will be teaching him patience and how to closely pay attention. Great, great toy. Ours is used all the time and doesn't even look as if it's ever been out of the box. Highly recommend!

this bratz looks very pretty but she is fianna she shound
not have blond hair she shound have brown because i have
funk out fianna wild life safari fianna and flash back fever fianna and they all have brown hair!

people who said that this doll looked gothic and wore too much makeup have problems. i'm 14 years old and still play with dolls. just because some one wears black doesn't mean that they are goth. besides no one is goth any more most people are something called punk. she is not wearing too much makeup. if you can read it says she is going out to a dance party. if you go out to dance your not going to go with zero make up, and no one cares about 'this girl in your class that wears too much makeup' they care about the doll. i have this doll and luv her. anyone who likes her will like the bratz princess twiinz.

People are saying that they don't like this doll because she has too much makeup on and her outfit looks goth.

1.Why are you looking at this doll if you have a problem with what she looks like?

2.She's supposed to look goth, DUH!

3.I think she's cool and I'm buying her.

I actually bought this guy!!!! I think he is sooooo cute and what kind of girl doesn't like a cutie that shows up with flowers and chocolate??? Uh, that would be...ZERO!!!!!!! Unless of course you aren't romantic...haha just kidding. You MUST ABSOLUTELY buy this guy if you are a myscene fan! Madison is luckier than lucky! Sutton is the cutest myscene.

This doll is so sweet! Sutton brings Madison flowers and chcolate after her forgot her birthday! I know that forgeting someone's birthday is awful, especially your girlfriend's, but the fact that Sutton made an effort is the sweet part. I like this line alot better than the bratz mystery date line. I do think the whole random boy is a good idea, but promoting the idea of a blind date is not a good idea. The fact that the leading cause of teen rape, it bothers me that Bratz would be promoting such a behaiver. I think children's dolls should promote could behavier and good decision making. I have the Night on the Town colection that Mattell released a while a (like 2 years ago)and I like this collection better because it shows simplicity. Although I do love that collection, don't get me wrong, I think it's nice that Matell is promoting the cheap,yet more thoughtful dating scene. I also reccomend the other boys form the My Scene collection. This was definatley a great idea and I reccomend it for all My Scene fans! It shows a new non comercial side of dating that will stick with young girls for the rest of their lives! Thanks for reading! I am 14 years old and I am a My Scene/Barbie collecter! Please Read my other reviews and Rate This One! Thanks Again!

This is a very sweet idea. Sutton brings Madison some sunflowers and a big box of chocolate, then they go on they're date to remember. I think this was a very sweet idea. A guy that brings a girl chocolates and flowers is soo romantic!
If you are a My Scene fan, you should definetly buy this set! You should also buy a Madison doll because thats Sutton's girlfriend! Sutton is also very cute but dont tell Madison i said that! I love My Scene! Soon i am going to buy the party pad!

The Little Belle and Price dolls are high quality and durable for little kids. The costumes are made very well and can last through hours of play. The only thing I wish they could of done differently is to have Belle and the Beast sing a song from the Disney movie instead of the song they sing together. Although it's cute - my little girl wanted to hear Belle sing like she did in the show. Overall though a great product!

I got this for a present to keep on hand for a birthday or something since the price was so low. It is so nice I will most likely keep it for my own daughter who will be 6 in October. I haven't opened it yet, but even if it doesn't sing, the doll's themselves are gorgeous.
