Doll Reviews

My daughter has autism and has had absolutly no interest in dolls. She didn't quite know what she was suppose to do with them or how to do imaginative play with them. We recently purchased this doll for her and she hasn't set her down yet. She pretend cries for the doll and tickles her. She feeds her and won't sleep without her. I think this doll has woken up emotions in my daughter that were not there before. This has taught her to understand empathy and how to care for someone. Autistic children like weighted objects and the beanie bottom of the doll makes her different from the other dolls we have given our daughter. I think the heavyness of the doll makes my daughter want to hold her constantly. Im so greatful that we got this doll and it has had such a wonderful impact on my daughter.

I bought this doll for my daughter for Christmas. She loves her. It's the perfect size for 1 and half year olds. My only complaint is that she doesn't have any African American features.
All they did was dye the plastic a pasty brown color.

I have a 23 month old and we just bought her this doll. She won't let it go. She loves to pretend to feed and give it naps. It's a great value and I beleive a perfect first doll.

This stroler is really cute, BUT for some reason the wheels kept coming off.Quite annoying for my 2 yr. old.Beside's that it's a good stroller, very cute, big enough to hold bigger dolls.

I bought this stroller for my neice and she loves it. Very well made.

We gave this to our two year old for her birthday and she loves it. She likes taking her dolls out for a walk. She loves pretending to be a mommy and this looks so real she fits right in.

I'm 11 years old almost 12 and i am still interested in dolls. I was going to get the graco travel system, but it was too small for my height. It looks like the real thing. some strollers have the wheels fall of when you take them outside, but for me it doesn't. I have Miracle moves baby and she is 19 " tall and if she would be taller she would still fit. The carseat is also easy to put on, but the thing is every time you have to turn it another way you have to unscrew the handle and you can put it any way you want. I'm glad i got this. It's not a watse of money.

I bought this for my daughters 7yr birthday. At first i was worried that the stoller would be to small for her. The stroller is a great size and is perfect for her. The stroller is a lot like the bigger version graco travel system. This is a great stroller and i am glad I spent the 50.00 dollars for it.

Im 12 years old and im still interested in dolls. When I bought this I was amazed. I don't like all that little baby junk that you can buy(it falls apart so fast)! I liked how real It looks because in the store my mom wouldn't let me buy the real verson so when I came across the GRACO line for dolls I was so HAPPY! I have almost everything for my doll now! The My Little 3 in 1 Quattro Tour Travel System is the best in my graco collection. The only problem with the stroller is that one of the front wheels always fall of when I take my doll outside in her stroller. It was very dissapointing for such a wounderful toy. But I learned NEVER take the stroller outside!All in all this is a wounderful toy! I would suggest it for children ages 3-12. I hope this review helps you.

It's not fair to all USA buyer, why only one Blythe for sell on toysrus.com, I also went to the nearest Toys'R US store, there's nothing about Blythe or Takara, Take a look at www.thisisblythe.com/forums/ There are many Blythe fans in USA. Why do we need to order the Blythe from overseas but not our local store? I want to more Blythe accessories such as clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. Don't sell only Matte Barbies please!!

We need more choices!!! PLEASE!!! Toys'r us can help us to save more money!! It's serious!! Help all US and CA Blythe Fans!!

I have several versions of Hollywood Blythe. The original matte face Hollywood, with the Licca body; then the shiney face FAO "exlcusive" Hollywood, again, with the Licca body; & finally the "excellent body" Hollywood, with the shiney face. I have no idea which version TRU is actually offering here for sale, however, it looks to be leftover FAO "exclusive's".

Blythe was made in 1972 by Kenner, NOT by Hasbro, as noted in an earlier review. The Kenner company was bought out by Hasbro, & hence, now Hasbro owns the rights to the Blythe doll. Hasbro is the company behind the 'Neo-blythe' that has been licensed out CWC in Asia, & For the most part, the Takara 'Neo-Blythe's' have only been readily available in those areas, and thru Ebay. Hasbro also will release a new USA Blythe from Ashton Drake Galleries, which will release Neo-versions of the original 1972 Kenner's, in a Neo-Kenner style package!

Blythe is a wonderful doll, with a personality all her own. Blythe has been caputured in photos beautifully by Gina Garan! Check out one of Gina's lovely photobooks, like "This is Blythe", or the thisisblythe website.

Once you own a Blythe doll, you will find that she somehow becomes your obesssion!!

If you search at ebay, google, or yahoo "takara blythe doll/s" you will find prices of Takara's Blythe dolls far more than the price Amazon has to offer! I wish they could ship to Canada so I could get this doll v_v (*hint* at Amazon.ca to have it ^_~ hee hee).

** History on Blythe Dolls **

Originally made by Hasbro for only one year in 1972, these dolls are rare to find now a days. Takara, a Japanese doll manufacturer (including Jenny and Licca) has taken upon themselves to release the exact style as the originals.

These dolls are about 11-12 inches in height and comes extremely accessorized with clothing, shoes, bags, socks, and more! A very interesting note is that you can change their eye colour to amber, green, pink, or blue by a pull of the string. If you look closely at the larger picture Amazon has provided, you will see a string attached to a loop.

** IMO (In My Opinion) **

Blythe dolls are for doll collectors similar to the Barbie Collectors. The recommended age is 12+ years but I honestly think age has nothing to do with it. If your child is mature enough try giving her this doll. Or if you're afraid she may not like it, you can always keep it for yourself! ^_~ The eyes itself are what mesmerized me. At first, I was scared to look at them finding them to be 'creepy' but now that I realize you can change their colours and comes with adorable outfits and accessories, how could I resist them (that is if I could afford them and that Amazon ships up north to Canada ;P)?

** Educational Value **

For your 12+ child/tween, I think it will teach her coordination with colours and fashion! As well to express/experiment herself freely without asking you to buy this and that designer clothe which can save you money! =P

I also got this at Toys R Us! It looks like he stepped out of a Bueno Nacho Commercial.Ron Stoppable will probably let him do commercials for Bueno Nacho,since Rufus is Ron's little buddy!This little toy is so cute!

I got it last Sunday at Toys r Us,and I collect anything Kim Possible! It looks like if he stepped out of a episode of Bueno Nacho or Has been working at Bueno Nacho! He takes the place of the Dog[Ginger] from Taco Bell[I miss Her] Nowadays,Taco Bell Commercials have been so Boring! So,If he does Bueno Nacho Commercials,Rufus Would be a hit! Ron Stoppable,would probably llet Rufus do Commercials for Bueno Nacho.He's soft,cute,and cuddly!

Kim Possible toys can be fun,cool,and entertaining!You can take them on trips,airplanes,and cars.They aren't boring for Kids or Adults.

This was the fourth store I got. This one fits on the mall, and so does Fashion Friendzy, but the Stylin Hair Studio and ESpresso cafe don't. Not all the Bratz can shop at the same store. I think this should have came with different shoes, because the Nevra doll that comes with the mall has the same brown boots, and Lil Bratz Jade has the black boots. The sign doesn't stay on the back. The lights on the back fall off too. I think this is fun to play with, and Cloe bought the same shoes as Nevra!

This was purchased for my daughter will be 8 years
old in 8 days. An early birthday present. This is one of the better Mattel doll type
toys in years! The large bratz are expensive $$-$$each.
These are only a few dollars each. The mall is
expensive so we just bought the shoe store. It's fun.
Nice details and very interactive. If you got the money
to blow on this junk then go ahead, this stuff is a blast.
I like the little dolls a lot more than the big ones but where
are their feet?????

You may remember me (because of the title of the review) as the first person to review the Bratz Clothing Store. Well, a day after I got the clothing store I got the shoe store and I could not be happier. The shoe store comes with two pairs of shoes, three posters, 6 light fixtures, a counter, a fuzzy shoe chair, a mirror, a shoe stand, and two display cases. It is very fun to play with and you can rearrange the inside for hours and hours. Once again the bad things about this is is that it is hard to put the posters on and it is very hard to take out of the box. It is only educational because it streches you imagination but a very fun toy for almost all ages, collectors or not!

My almost 2.5-year-old daughter received this from us for Christmas to go with her dollhouse from Santa. She loves it! She piles all of her dolls into it, or just drives 2 adults around with the backseat full of pets. She plays with this as much as the house itself. I thought this was cuter than than the silver van, even though our girl rides in a real minivan everyday. It looks real, and it's easy to get the dolls in and out. Our daughter kept asking for a car for Christmas, and even told Santa in person that she wanted a car, so this worked out perfectly. The grandparents love it too!

The Loving Family convertible is a cute little car. It comes with a girl and dog. The trunk opens--and occasionally the trunk lid comes off, but it snaps back on easily. Unfortunately, the back seat is too little for anyone but the dog and baby to sit in--which frustrates my three-year-old. Other than that, it's a good toy.

My 3 1/2 yr. old daughter just got this and she loves it. She puts the people in very easy and takes off racing across the living room floor. She giggles the whole time. She also loves the dog that came with it. This is one vehicle that she can use all by herself without my having to fix something on it or help her get the people into it.

This one makes a bubble sound, parrot squak, meow, and ruff. So cute. It's nice that the animals are not attached, so you can play with them around the dollhouse. It doesn't really fit anywhere though. When my daughter plays, it usually ends up in a separate "room" she has to create on the floor. However, this one is a must for the dollhouse because it is so fun!

This was much more then I expected! The dog, cat and bird all come off their "pet bed/cages" so your child can play with them in other places of the playhouse. EVERY pet area makes a noise too which is wonderful.....the fish tank even lights up!
I have been use to buying Mattel(Barbie) items for my six year old, and I bought this and alot of other Fisher Price house accessories for my 2 1/2 year old and their is no comparsion in quality and fun! In fact I find my 6 year old trying to take her little sisters Loving Family dollhouse stuff to put in her Barbie dream house!

This is sure to make any kid happy. Kids love animals and most want one of these in the set as a pet. What I love about it is each one makes a sound, even the fish tank, when the child touches the top of the animal/cage. Parents will appreciate the fact that the birdcage, fishtank and both beds for the pets are non-removable from the cabinet they sit on or are attached to. Only the kitty and puppy and food dishes are removable. This would make a great gift for little hands and fingers with big hearts of love but not quite mature enough for a live pet (yet.) Parents can use this toy as a "test" to see if their child is ready for a live pet by reminding them to "feed, water and play" with the pets daily and observing. For all these reasons I give it 5 stars all around.

I have two girls. Both are a bit rough with toys. They are 2 and 5. They have had this toy for two years. It still works like new. I will be buying a second one because they fight over who is playing with it. They enjoy this toy very much even years later. I stronly recomend this toy.

This was #1 on our 4 year old daughter's Christmas list last December. She still enjoys playing with it, but we are all disappointed with the lights and music. When she filled it with water shortly after receiving it, some water got into the speaker. Despite airing it out and replacing batteries, the music and lights no longer work. She was disappointed, but still likes to have her dolls and dollhouse pets go swimming. We were surprised that a toy that is supposed to be used with water is not designed well for use with water. Especially for the price, this was not one of the cheaper dollhouse accessories. So expect good play value but no "extras" with this one.

We just bought this for our kids age 2 and 4. This is a great addition to any dollhouse collection. You can put water in it and push the button and a light comes on and it bubbles.(Every time you push the button it bubbles.)We use this with the old Fisher Price doll house. It's great we recommend all the loving family dollhouse accessories.

I have sugar,honey,dusty and whisper. I saw whisper in the store and was suprised to see a horse mix. so I went online to search for others I came across whisper again a found out she was a cream color nothing like the one I saw at the store same with dusty she is white with a gray muzzle I found her online and she was a pinto same with honey.

My 4 year old daughter received the Loving Family dollhouse and many accessories for Christmas last year. This horse has been the best investment of all. The house is fun, but not real well built for her younger friends. Her cousin loved her horse, Whisper, so much that we went & got him one for his birthday. He loved it, but wanted to know where the rider was. There is another horse from this series available that comes with a rider. I haven't seen it in person, but Fisher-Price has full support from me.

We bought this toy horse for my son (22 months). I'm really impressed with it's quality: the sound effects are quite realistic, the pawing action and lowering head are cute, and the accessories are nice. The saddle is detailed and fits nicely. We have to use a rubberband to "tie" the rider onto the horse, but that is mainly because my son gets so distraught when they fall off.

Check this out--I think you'll be pleased! The Loving Family line of toys are really quite cute and well-made, as well as being a decent value.
