Mattel Reviews

This is supposed to be a smaller version of the original game - for those who want the original try "Super Kerplunk Game" not much difference - just more durable. This particular game takes a little time to set up - count that as part of the game - delegate - first person puts in the first 10 sticks etc. etc. I LOVE THIS GAME.

This game is pretty fun but it takes forever to put it together before you can play it. My 5 year old wants to play the game immediately. Not wait 10 minutes for mommy to get it ready.They now have an electronic Ker plunk game. We will be purchasing that one soon.

When I got Kerplunk home and opened the box, I was dumbfounded. The game was this little plastic thing made from cheap materials. As a kid, we had Kerplunk and it was much taller and wider. It was made of a heavier plastic, too. You could be extra careful when you removed the straws because the whole thing was solid and wouldn't budge. The new one is so little, you have to hold it with one hand while you pull the straw, making it difficult to move carefully. I think this is the same type of problem parents are having with retro games. The toy manufacturers know the parent will say, "I had this game when I was a kid, so I'll buy it for my kid!" Unfortunately, the new versions are smaller, cheaper and more fragile. If the original version of a game is what is desired, then a parent will have to buy an old game from Ebay. This is actually a cool game, just not the new version.

i love this toy iam a huge fan of my scene dolls and iv got all of the dolls,accept for some of the boys cus iam not too attracted to them,but any way any girl would love this doll its like sooooooooo cool i mean i just play with them for like 2 days and then i decorate them in a decorating thing its not because its boring or any thing i just keeep them away from dirt or any thing but belive me if u keep them tidingly your mum will buy u more and morei just cant wait for the other dolls to come out and if u cant wait eather then ill tell u when they are coming out ,they are coming out (...), hope this rewiew was helpful bye

This styling head is so cute!I recomend this.It has a style that lets kids,like me,use there imagination,Madison in this styling head looks like she came from India.my scene always makes there dolls look from diffrent cultures and styles.This is so cute,Madison also has eyelashes in her eyebrowns,wich makes you think is she going somewhere speacil,or is she just getting dressed?This is not a good toy,but a great toy.Buyt his for someone,if you want to see a big simile when they recieve this,this doll so cute.

I am not sure how this became a battle between Bratz and Barbie, but get a grip anti-Barbie/pro-Bratz kids! Bratz's have removable legs! that is the creepiest thing I have ever laid my eyes on.

Barbie has more clothes and better *everything*. these new Barbie are like the 'Hot Looks' dolls of the late 80s/early 90s. so please do not think Bratz started this.

and Barbie has cute boys to choose from. those Brtaz boys look like the Backstreet Boys - just in midget form!

I was thrilled to find this set of dolls at my local toy store. It is an adorable set of ethnically diverse dolls. I must admit that they seem a little big to play as Barbie's 8 year old sister, but I think that they are most appropriate to be played with on their own or with one of the other Wee 3 Friends Sets. I like that they have the fun clothes and accessories with out lots of make-up. (I have never been comfortable with the Bratz Dolls, and I think that this is certainly a nice alternative.) I am looking forward to giving these to my daughter for her 4th birthday.

I purchased these dolls for my daughter's 5th birthday. I was so please at the price for three dolls that she could share at her party. I love that they are all so cute and different. I think they are a perfect size for younger girls to dress and play with. The clothes keep her interested without leaving me uneasy. It is so nice to see three sweet little faces and three puppies too. Barbie is classic, but it sure is refreshing to see new dolls for my daughter's generation.

This toy takes away the fun of barbies. When i would play with my original Stacie doll, only 15 years ago i loved it because it was planning for the future. Now the Stacie doll no longer looks like an eight year old. I was displeased when they made the "my scene" dolls and the "bratz" are worse but now Mattel is changing tons of things about Barbies. Kelly`s head is bigger and her body looks like some of the anorexia pictures my doctor has hanging up and now the Stacie doll is ruined. My name is Stacey so i always felt close to these dolls and they have always been my favorites. My five year old plays with my Stacie dolls that are almost destroyed and when i head these dolls were coming out i got online and looked ta pictures and noticed they looked funny but decided to see them in stores. So the day before Easter i showed up at my local Tpys R Us store and the sales lady told me they had been getting calls about the Stacie dolls but taht they had not heard of them being released! So then i got online and started to read the reviews and when i heard they had large bodies i had to order one myself. Well, instead my sister ordered one and let me see it. I thought that maybe my daughter would approve of it still and she and my neice began to play together and after only 10 minutes my daughter said "mommy this doll isnt right" she knew! My daughter won`t play with them, although my neice will. Either way i dislike this doll and really, im worried about what Mattel is doing to their fashion dolls such , "my scene" and the new kelly dolls.

I love to read the educational literature on the back of the Princess of the world Barbie boxes. I think it would be great if Moms bought these to educate their daughters. It's great to expose them to different cultures and different expressions of beauty.

She's a beauty and worth the price.
beautiful doll; great costume.

If you love collect dolls like I do, you will find this doll perfect for display your doll collection, what else you can ask,Its just perfect...

I got this thing in in july and it kills! the shield cannot flip up but,it is MASSIVE!!!! and will protect you well. i got pretty dang wet playing against my brother, but he's 6 foot tall.it has 3 nozzles,2 mini nozzles, and 1 large one. it also HOLDS MORE WATER THAN THE TRIPLE AGGRESSOR!!!!! BUY IT!!!!

My friend has this toy. It has a lousy crank that shoots almost NO water. The only thing good about it is it sheilds you.

We purchased this water toy, and my son who is 10 finds it very heavy to wear and turn the crank when filled. While I find it easy to turn the crank, my hand will not even fit into the "handle" and causes pain. Additionally, I was disatisfied with the fact that the water leaks out when you hold it with the nozzles facing down.(...)

I think that the bus has a lot of room for three little kids there names are Nikky, Mikey and Sandy they are Latania's cousin
and little brother's they go places they are even trying to get them stuff ready for summer school. The kids love it it has room for the grocerys and carseat for Nikky he needs it the most
Christie likes it cause her friend's can ride with her along with family so I would recomend this toy for kids with big Barbie Family's.

I think that this bus is very cool my barbies Christy Shian and
Latania a.k.a ethinic cali girl. think so to there is a lot of room for there luggage to go on vacation it very nice they have a drive way made out of my old 6 grade lisa frank trapper keeper
with a head umbrella over it to protect it from the rain and that's what I think of the bus.

This was a great toy. I purchased this toy for my daughter as a xmas gift who was 5 years old at the time. Now she is going to be 7 in about 2 weeks and she loved it. My younger kids enjoyed it also. They would play with it for hours and hours. We recently had to throw it out with the trash because the kids had worn it out. My daughter has begged me for another one for her upcoming birthday. The only problem I had with this vehicle is that the wheels would come off. My kids have such a creative imagination that they would use the wheels for other things such as pretend doughnuts when they would play kitchen during playtime. I also love the fact that more than 2 barbies at a time could fit into the vehicle and that's the reason I purchased it for my daughter. She has alot of barbie dolls and all of her other vehicles would only seat 2 at a time. Since she enjoyed it so so much I am thinking about purchasing another one for her birthday.

I think it is cute how Barbie is getting this whole new image and "dumping" Ken. it really shows how mattel is growing. i also think that this change can be seen from a negative view as a positive one. the whole idea of barbie, is that she is a girl, with the perfect life, with the perfect boyfriend ken, and with just about everything a little girl (as well as a woman i mean who oesnt want all the things barbie has?!!!) could hope and dream for her future life. mattel has made a fortune on selling these type of dolls to girls around the world, but changing her, to fit a beach lifestyle, dumping ken for this new blaine guy, and having a completely new image of herself isnt that great, because little girls have loved barbie, ken and the whole happy famil, but changing ken for blaine can tear apart their dreams of ken, barbie and baby chrissie forever! i mean, everyone nows barbie+ken= baby chrissie, bu now it's more likke barbie+the perfect guy (ken)=DUMP HIM
this may be giving the wrog message, or it may be just a cute new doll with a cute new image. LOL

I think the Barbie is really good and enjoyable even though i am ten it is sutible for any age and all of the little ones i bet there having an execlant time because i have a great time

I loved this doll when I saw it in a store last January. It was so summery and cool so I wanted to wait to get it in the summer to get the full feel for it! Now I have it and this doll is so lovely, one of the best out there and great value price. Okay some people think the tan makes her look ugly. But once you get her out the really cool box you get used to it and it looks good. Her hair is brown with Blonde streaks and Highlights, it's really cool! I love the shade of brown they have used. For a value doll she has some nice accessories. She has hoop earrings, Sunglasses, Necklace, lace bandana and even a cute yellow sweatband. She really is the best doll of 2004! She wears a yellow and red bikini bra top with red flower centre, which ties at the back. Red shorts with white stitching. A nice feature is that if you look at the top of the shorts you see what is supposed to be the bikini knickers! But it's actually part of the shorts cleaver but misguiding! This Barbie is really fun and you can spend loads of time brushing her hair! Shame she doesn't come with her own brush and as all dolls do she looses hair easily. Anyways this doll had nice details and everyone should get one. I wish Mattel would invent a new way so Barbie's hair doesn't fall out as easy. But that's not just for this doll it's the same for all dolls sadly.
Basically this doll rocks! She's great value and has a really cool, box which I just had to keep. She's nicely packaged and really fun to play with, grown ups would enjoy this doll too as it's a lovely piece of work :)

I guess b/c I'm a young mom, I don't remember ever playing with the original "stacy" doll; so I *love* these new ones. Besides, my daughter doesn't even know what the original looks like, so she doesn't mind that they don't look the same.

In a world where "Bratz" have drag-queen makeup on and little belly shirts, I was pleased to find these dolls. They're fashionable and cute, without being immodest. The clothes that they wear are appropriate for all ages and for school attire. The doll's shoes are a bit mature, but most 6-8 yr. old shoes are platform-style anyways. The hair on them is silky, and easy for my 6 yr old to brush, without it getting all tangled. There is even little girl underwear imprinted on the doll's body. Thier heads are bigger, but my daughter doesn't mind. The dolls have sweet faces, with little or no make-up.

Getting 3 dolls with clothes, purses, doggies, etc. for $19.99 is a steal! I am soooo pleased. I would like to see more from this line. Like, additional outfits available for purchase.

The bad- Some of the smaller pieces are just too small! The dolls come with tiny pencils that my daughter keeps misplacing. My other complaint is that the brushes that come with the dolls are anatomically correct for the dolls' hand, but not for actually brushing the doll's hair. We use a Barbie-sized brush to brush the hair.

Hey, i'm curious about what happened to cute, little Whitney. I have the skatboard Whitney that i got from " famous toy liqudators" in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, and she's sooo cute, and i'm wondering why Whitney isn't in the Stacie dolls anymore. Hey, i often go on Barbie.com and write b-mails to mattel, and told them it would be a great idea to have new Stacie dolls, and hey, they followed by what i said. I'm telling the pure truth. It REALLY was my idea. Ok, about these dolls, they're cute, cool, and fun, but i want to know the truth about cute, little Whitney.

I bought this set of dolls and the other one (party, party, party!), and they are both so great! I sew, so I made some other clothes for them. Their shape is very easy to work with, not like a Barbie where nothing ever fits. I think these dolls are educational, because parents that buy these dolls for their children can be sure that they won't try to be like My Scene or Barbie dolls. Overall, I love these dolls!!!!

I am a 15 year old girl who has over 30 collectable dollls. Usually i get 2 of the same dolls because i have a job and a lot of money. i bought two of these dolls i played with one and it wasn't that fun but it is very durable. How is it Educational? But it is a good toy.

i gave this doll 1 star in education and fun beause it is a collecter doll and it is in the pink label sereies (if you read barbie bazzar you would know!). it is a cool doll and i am a 11 year old collecter. the only problem is that it looks like barbie, not elle woods. and the face is is a bit chunky.

Since I am a Barbie Collector and Blonde, this was a natural to purchase. I collect various lines including Pop Culture (have them all), but this is one of the most fun dolls Mattel has made. The movie was funny and the doll with Bruiser is a great reminder of the laughs, especially the "Million Dog March". Any blonde or Barbie colloector MUST get this one! It's great.

Hey i know yugioh card game is better than this but this is just about as fun as the game. And plus, you can wear these hexors!!!!!!I am 11 and it is so fun. i would consider buying these very cool hexors...!!!!

This is a really simple game to learn, it takes about two minutes to learn it before playing. It comes with enough pieces for two players, and the 'boosters' are really cheap as well.

This game is good for teaching math to young children, and makes for a good thinking puzzle. Even as an adult, I find this game fun and a good time-killer.

Yu Gi Oh is perfectly fine there is no black magic at all. All it is is good Vs. evil and a boy just playing a game trying to save his granpa. If you dont like black magic keep your kids from away Star Wars, Harry Potter and The Wisard Of Oz.
