Dolls Reviews

Very disappointed in this doll especially for the money you spend on it. The bottle leaks everywhere, the arm sqeaks like a dog toy, and she is not the cutest doll. Do not waste your money on this doll!!

This is an incredible waste of money. I bought it for my 4 year old-- it is one of the few babies that she NEVER plays with. The doll is made of hard plastic-- it is not "cuddley" for small children. What a mess to feed this doll, and then be concerned about fouling up the internal mechanism if all the food doesn't come out. This baby is a lot of work, not much fun to play with, and a HUGE disappointment.

Buy a Baby Chou Chou instead!

This doll is soooo cool! When I was younger I would always see the commercial for Baby Born and I would always say "I want that!" So I finally got it and I love her! I think that's it's so fun to feed her and have her go potty and give her her drink! It's also really cool how now she is water proof so you can give her a bath whenever you want! I will admit though that it is a little hard to clean her insides because you can't tell if she's clean. But other than that she's great! Hope this helps!

We bought this stroller as a Christmas gift for our four year old daughter. Our stroller was easy to put together and has been very durable so far. My two daughters have played with it non stop since they opened it. The stroller folds up just like the real strollers. The only negative comment would be that the matching car seat handle does not move up or down without being unscrewed. This is not a big deal because my daughters did not want to move it. I would definately recommend this stroller.

We bought this stroller for our four year old daughter for Christmas. She has not stopped playing with it since she opened it. The stroller comes with a car seat that matches. I have found this toy to be durable and easy to put together. It folds up just like the real strollers. The only negative thing I would say is that the car seat handle has to be unscrewed to move the handle up or down. This is not a big deal because my daughter never wants to move it. I would definately recommend this toy!

I DO NOT RECOMEND BUYING THIS TOY. I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 5YR OLD NIECE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUTTING IT TOGETHER THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL KEPT FALLING OFF. THEN AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES OF PUTTING THE WHEEL BACK ON THE ENTIRE WHEEL CAME APART. IT LOOKS NICE UNTIL YOU PLAY WITH IT. MY NIECE WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. AS MUCH AS YOU PAY FOR IT I FEEL AS IF YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I GIVE THIS PRODUCT A THUMBS DOWN.

the bike is very cute but after playing around with it in the store we changed our minds about buying it. IT is mabe to cheeply for all the money that you pay for it. we could not even get it to work in the store. Now if the bike was made stronger and of harder material I would buy it NO questions asked because I know my child would have a blast!!

its fun but for that amount it schould have more like a kids radio in it a play talken phone more seat room maybe a educational compase or something educational on it,im a singal mom with just one child,i work everyday and find the price to be to much even if it dose look real,my child also has barbie jeep its roomy,has a kids radio in it an a talken phone an i pay about the same amount for that dont get me wrong its nice and girly but it was two high.

I saw this bike in the store and fell in love with it...so did my 5 year old...her birthday is right around the cornor and i was considering buying her this bike...when i saw the price of it...i was very disappointed...she has the barbie power wheels jeep and that is the amount that i paid for that one...i dont think the quality and craftsmanship of the bratz one comes close to the barbie power wheels jeep...so paying this price is out of the question...second...after reading the reviews on this product...maybe the manufacturer should consider making this product a little sturdier....i would hate for it to break down the first day i purchased it...i will keep everything that i have read in mind...thanks

My daughter loves the doll and the doll is pretty however...It isn't easy to make "dance" and the barre doesn't stand up nicely so she has been frustrated.

I don't know what everyone is expecting when they buy this doll. I happened to come across it while shopping and bought it for my almost 6 year old since she has been in ballet since she was 3. I thought is was cute. The music is sweet and its just a doll. I don't know why anyone would rely on ads to show you what it can really do. My major disappointment was the scrunchie that doesn't stretch big enough to get around your pinkie let alone around the dolls hair. Both of her sisters like it too. If you don't have commercial expectations of it coming alive, there is no reason it wouldn't be a great gift for your ballet enthusiast.

My 6 year old ballerina was ecstatic to receive this for her birthday. Unfortunately this doll is not worth the money it cost to make it. You can not make your doll do the ballet positions. The advertising leaves children to believe she will dance for you. Not true, you have to make her pirouette and her feet have to stay pointed. The feet end up going flat, and she slips all over the place. The ballet bar requires batteries to play ballet music. Can I ask you? What is fun about a ballet bar that plays music when your doll won't even dance? This toy is a expensive dud. My daughter was major disappointed. It was played with for a total of 5 minutes, and will spend eternity in the bottom of the toy box with the rest of the expensive toy duds that seem to be commonplace anymore. If you are going to want a doll that is educational, playable, and keep your child interested, spend the extra money and invest in American Girl dolls.

This doll is the worse doll i have ever played with in my whole intire life and i have played with alot of crappy dolls. this one is the worse of all. these dolls are not anything like barbie. i think matell is desprate for money becuase they are making dolls like street hookers. my freind loves these dolls and she says she wants to grow up to be just like one. i would not want to grow up living like one. I would not recomend these dolls to anyone who wants to live a normal life

Why not rename these dolls from "Flavas" to "Barbie and the Ghetto Gang"? I admit I do like these dolls, but PLEASE!!! Don't give them such slutty clothes. Where's Mattel's modesty? They look like they're from the south side of a major city and the missing accessories these dolls need are pretend bags of illegal (...).

Okay.. explain to me.. why you would let your child play with this doll. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE AFRICAN AMERICAN!!!!! Okay.. first of all.. why does the black doll haveta have fake looking blonde weave down to her butt?! I must be the only woman in the world that thinks that the only black woman who looks good with blonde hair is Beyonce, and she only half counts cause she's mixed anyway. Why don't you make dolls that look like real black women? With shoulder length, black hair.. maybe even natural hair.. I think that our children would enjoy playing with dolls like that a lot more. And why does she have to have a ton of makeup on? She looks like she just got caught in the crossfire of a Maybelline drive by. Her outfit is skanky.. and she is the least dressed of all the female dolls.. explain that to me. All the white/hispanic girls are either showing leg, or belly, but not both, so why does the black chick have to look like someone just attacked her outfit with a pair of scissors?! I don't like these dolls for the same reason that I really don't like Barbie dolls. They promote an unrealistic image of minority women. Barbies teach little black and hispanic girls that you're supposed to look like a Barbie that's stayed out in the sun too long, and these stupid dolls teach them that you're supposed to look like some slut from a rap video.. Why can't there be a happy medium?! We need to start watching the things that we let our little girls watch and play with.

This was the toy my daughter had to have for Christmas, so we got it for her. She was 3 1/2 at the time and she opened it and played with it for a little while and then told me it was boring and not fun like on tv. It has been a year and a half now and she has been played with maybe a dozen time in all. My daughter also recieved a doctor cart for Chrismas as an accessory to go along with the doll, well she uses the cart all the time but with every other doll or stuffed animal she owns not this one!

This doll exceeded our expectations! After purchasing Baby Born, Annabel, and countless other babies over the year, I didn't expect much from this doll, but boy was I delightfully surprised! This doll works great even without her accessories! The doll laughs, cries, runs a fever and plays its heartbeat just from contact with my daughter. Wherever we go, the doll accompanies my daughter without requiuring excess baggage to properly function. Her favorite feature is the realistic heartbeat that works even without the stethescope. Just squeezing her body produces all the proper functions without the hassle required by many other similar products. My two year old did find the medicine bag a little complicated, so we put it up so the peices won't be lost. When she's ready, this doll will advance with her. What a great way to maintain interest in the doll! It also survived being submerged in water with all parts still working perfectly. This is a very durable and adorable baby and a must have for all little girls. Definitely money well spent!

I found one of these adorable dolls at a retailer before Christmas after deciding I had to add her to my collection. The appeal of this doll, without ever having seen a toy commercial, is the charming face with her large "Bratz doll-like" eyes and baby smile. I admit I have no first hand experience with how a child might react to the toy and manipulate the different buttons beneath the doll's clothing. I do know she is a very cuddly doll despite the box concealed within her that holds the batteries and the buttons that activate her various baby sounds (which work all right if the batteries are in exactly as layed out in the compartment--it took a little manipulating to get them to fit). Also, she doesn't sound demonic in my opinion, only a little fake, as it is difficult I'm sure, to recreate a baby's laugh in a plastic voice box. The doll is indeed educational as it teaches nurturing skills and that medicine makes a sick child feel better. "Little Patient" also serves as a fun baby doll especially when dressed in clothing sized for 14 in. baby dolls.

My 5 year old daughter got this for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. She has taken good care of it and it has not caused us any heartache as it does what it is supposed to do. This is an ideal gift for the princess lover in your life.

I bought this doll for my daughter for Christmas. It was the only thing she asked for and wanted very badly. Only 1 week later it stopped working correctly and would only perform intermittently. At one point the music stayed on and would not turn off. My daughter was devastated. We were able to return the doll to ... for a full refund, but my daughter is still very disappointed.

My 5 year old was so looking forward to this doll. First, all the doll does is spin and play music...that's when she's working. We are constantly...ever other minute...having to reset the doll because it is very tempermental. Sometimes the music won't play, sometimes she won't spin. Her arms get caught in her dress, her dress gets tangled. It is a very delicate doll. It did not keep my 5 year old's attention and is worth more trouble than it's worth. More a show piece that a toy to play with. We are very disappointed.

The box says Polly Pocket can "race her friends down the slide". Yeah sure. You have to push her down the slide which falls apart as she goes down. My sweet 5 year old wasted her birthday money on this and is so disappointed.

This is our first polly pocket toy in our home. So this is new for us. It is a fun looking toy with MANY tiny parts to keep track of. My 3.5 yr old daughter really likes it...even her brother has been caught playing with it.

However, I have to agree with the others that the slide is hard to assemble. Firstly, the directions are not correctly pictured which makes it hard. But once it was assembled, and pushed in REALLY hard and TIGHT...it actually did stay together for US.

Some things that broke the day we bought them were: the bathing suit broke a strap when my daughter tried to get it off. The hat strap (elastic chin strap) broke. The rubber clothing is definetely NOT durable, and VERY hard for a child to dress her. If you don't mind helping every time your child feels like changing the outfit, this may not be an issue for you.

One thing I would have liked to see: another doll. Polly has to swim alone with a seal...she needs a friend esp. if your child wants to play with another child. The seal goes well down the slide, but Polly does not slip down the slide with her rubber bathing suits on...they are too sticky.

Polly's hair changes color but you have to use refrigerated water. We just used water that came from the ice dispenser on our fridge and it worked...which my daughter found cool.

Okay but here is another point. It is only $12-13. I don't consider this an expensive toy that will get passed down to my kid's kids...but it will be fun for a couple seasons, you DO get what you pay for in this case.

My neighbor is 7 years old, and she recieved this castle as a gift. Her mom sat down for 10-20 minutes trying to assemble it. As she finished, we walked out the door, and the pieces fell apart right in my hands. Polly can't even succesfully slide down into the pool with or without the toys. It's not durable, it's not exactly fun, and I don't think it's educational. One of my least favorite Polly toys.

My husband and I bought this for his daughter for Christmas and was very disappointed. The microphone gives back a lot of interference, no matter how far away you are from the machine. There is not much to the songs and the words for them stop after a couple seconds. Which is not karaoke. The "radio" version of it is very repetitive. My stepdaughter got over it very fast. The only good thing about it is that it hasn't broke yet, but it has been on her shelf for a while!

This was a gift for my four and a half year old daughter. She LOVES this toy. The sound quality is not that great, but she loves the songs and loves to sing as loud as she can.

For the price, I think it is a great toy for a "Diva in training".

Unlike many of the other reviews my little 3 year old girl loves this thing. She sings on it everyday and has memorized most of the words to the songs. It isnt the best sounding thing I've ever heard, but what do you expect for $20.

My daughter was given this toy as a Christmas present at age 2.5. And while it is cute, it only sings a single song and does very little except wobble across the floor. It doesn't lend itself to imaginative play and so is pretty much a one-hit wonder. And that one hit isn't much of a hit. My daughter is a major Dora fan, loves to read (look at) Dora books and watch the show a LOT. But this toy just didn't cut it with her.

Disappointing. My daughter received this from her Grandparents for her 2nd Birthday a few weeks ago. She has only played with it a few times. It will not stay up on carpet. Pretty boring.

My little girl just loves Dora and recieved this as a Christmas gift. This thing eats batteries and when singing you have to take the hat off or she falls over...or the hat falls off. This is pretty frustrating to my daughter and if I would have known it did this I would not have spent the money on it.
