Ethnic Dolls Reviews

After initially finding this toy on Amazon, as a 2nd birthday present for my niece, who absolutely adores Dora, I decided to go into ToysRUs to canvass.

The main reason I wanted to see the doll in the store was because I wanted to make sure that the doll had the capability to say my niece's name, Aulani. I had a lot of difficulty locating the doll in the store, it was not by the Dora merchandise or the interactive/computer area, but in the baby dept.

There is also a Pooh knows your name and an Elmo knows your name. In the store there is a keyboard where you type in your child's name and it will tell you what character knows that name. I was disappointed that only Pooh and Elmo could say Aulani, but when I changed the spelling to Alani, Dora could say it as well!

I purchased Dora Knows Your Name in the store, as opposed to having it shipped from Amazon because I was a little apprehensive about the difficulty of the programming, and I know that my sister would easily be frustrated if it was involved.

You can program the doll while it is still in the box. It comes with a CD rom and a USB chord. Using windows XP it took me about 10 minutes to download the software and run the personalization program. The only difficulty that I had was that I did not correctly insert the USB chord in the doll's control box. The download is fairly simple for anyone who has ever downloaded software. With that information, I would not hesitate buying a similar produuct online.

I absolutely love this doll, it serves as an alarm clock in the morning, reinforces a schedule, and provides entertainment through stories and songs. This doll will even count down the days to your child's birthday and will sing happy birthday. The only thing that I would change about this doll would be more options or a greater selection for stories and song on the software.

I read some of the reviews posted on this site before I bought this Doll, I saw it on Ebay but was afaird because of some the comments that was posted about the doll and thought I should buy it directly in case I needed to return it, But I had no problems at all other then the UBC cord the direction said to turn the cord one way when actually it is the other way, other then that I had no problem downloading anything and I can't wait to give this to my daughter for Easter.

This doll is perfect! How many dolls can you say is educational, encourages your child, and knows your child's name? My 3 1/2 year old just loves it! I was worried it wouldn't know her name but it did! Your child won't have to worry about being lonely or having an imaginary friend because this doll will become her best friend!!

I've been watching for a good price for this beautiful doll ever since she came out, and Amazon had it. The costume and doll are really beautiful. This series presents historical periods in a wonderful, experiencial way. Each doll has been a treasure, especially the Danish,Portugese and Dutch dolls.

This doll is absolutely breathtaking. I bought her for my "gift closet", but I think I'll keep her for myself!
The price was only $5.29 during the special Toys R Us sale, plus free shipping. Couldn't ask for a better deal or a prettier collectible doll.

This is a beautiful doll but don't order it. I can't get anyone on the website to correct the postage. The weight has a typo. It says 7 pounds instead of 7 ounces. That makes the shipping about 5.00 higher than it should be.

This is a very good ken doll. I like the way he has two oufits but he should have two pairs of boots. this doll is also very tall he has to bend down to kiss barbie but other wise he is great. the oufits are really nice and he comes with fun things to give anneliese and erika. I like the way you can make erika a princess with the crown.

This is, according to our daughter, a great Ken doll. It has the bonus of coming with an extra outfit (in the same period style as the one shown). His hair has some sort of hair gel on it to keep it in place, which doesn't stay in place long with average usage, but doesn't ever look bad. The hair is a little "greasy" to the touch, though. Also nice is that fact that he does bend at the elbows and knees so he can be posed in somewhat natural (well, for a Barbie doll) way.

THE TOY ITSELF IS FUN.......JUST TO MUCH MONEY .WHO WOULD PAY THAT MUCh FOR A HUNK A JUNK?!?!I know I wouldnt.

Our 2 year old loves this and I love the fact that it is african-american color not blonde/blue eyes only- great idea to make one of each! It is very magical looking and fun and pretty durable. We like it alot!

I think this this barbie is more pretty than the others. I will buy this barbie on my birthday! :)

This toy is awsome! I love it. Please buy it.

OMG, this Yasmin rules!! She is soooo beautiful. Also, the reason why she is so dark is because she is tanner now, Cloe got a tan too. I love her outfit. my order is
1.Cloe
2.Yasmin
3.Leah
I hope to get her, this collection is perfect for this summer vacation. Bratz, Danny Phantom, and My Scene ROCK!!!

Even though I think this Yasmin rox , she looks like a Sasha-Her skin is way too dark to be a Yasmin.I love her dress it is soooooooo cute I also love her shoes

The skin is really brown than black, quality is great. Price is very low plus free shipping. Nice deal!

I received Queen Rayla doll as a gift unexpectedly, and it was a wonderful suprise! Rayla is beautiful!

I love Rayla's eyes the most. They are a very deep, dark green. Her gown is her second-best part. It's light blue and very fancy and interesting with a lot of neat little details! Her hair is nice too - brown with golden highlights. Her crown is put in her hair perfectly. And Rayla's shoes actually stay on!!

My daughter loves Barbie dolls so much, so I decided to get this one for her....she loves it. I also like it very much, it is a break from all the skimpy clothed ones. The dress is very beautiful and we play with it everyday....

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.

My little girl just love these dolls they are so durable and easy to handle the stroller was so easy to assemble. They are just precious. There are alot of accessories that can be purchased to go along with them also.

I have 30 month old twins boy/girl and my daughter always gets two dolls and says' i have my twins , too. Now she really is enjoying her "real twin " babies. They smell and look precious and stroller carrier is a deal.
