Mattel Reviews

I love that toy but I think that you should put like a little shopping boutique in it because it would increase how many people would buy it because there would be more in it,but you wouldn't want to raise your prise!Another thing that would make people love it even more is if you put more accessories in it like errings or neaclaces aspeculy more clothes!please try some of these ideas!

This is the best My Scene line so far! For starters, the earrings can now be removed and changed, which is such a blast! Chelsea also comes with two new show molds and a new purse mold. This line is a MUST HAVE of the season!!!

I loved all of Chelsea's acessories, especially her earrings! This is my favorite Chelsea doll ever!

This toy is pretty cool but the horse's hair is WAY TO LONG!!!!Maybe i am being to picky but the horse is not shaped the way it should be.The picture shows the barn open with the fence attached to the walls you can't attach the fence enless the barn is closed!Lots of tiny "perfume" bottles and cardboard things.There is a place to hang the Polly's clothes but the clothes don't stay on the hangers!There is a haystack that opens to a chair but she can't sit in it because her clothes won't bend that far!!!BUT over all the bad things it still is good toy for kids!

My 4 year old LOVES Polly Pocket. She loves all the little clothes, the tiny shoes, the accessories, the pets, the modes of transportation. Oh ... the adventures she and Polly and her friends have. She plays with it endlessly and has a great time.

I, as a parent, hate it. It's too small and fiddly for my big fingers ... and there is always something to be re-attached, re-configured or an item of clothing for Polly to put on that my daughter needs help with. She loves it when I sit down and play with her but I can't get my big fingers comfortable with this tiny toy.

I also have to constant worry of a choking hazard for her little brother (just turned 1) and I have to stand over her to ensure she packs up every single tiny piece of the set.

All the Polly Pocket sets we own have been gifts. As a parent - I would find something else to buy my daughter.

I am not a fan of this toy at all ... but then i am not a 4 year old little girl either.

Polly Pockets are very cute and fun toys. There rubbery clothes are easy to break but if you be careful they will last a long time. The Ride in Style Polly is so cute with the doll and the horse. I would recomend this toy to any girl from the age of 3 to 11. The Polly Dolls are fun for all ages!

It's a bad sign that the second Superman figure released by Mattel is nothing more than a repaint of one issued only weeks before. That first figure, which I call "true blue Superman," was accurate to his look in the first season of the "Justice League" TV series, and had Supes in his trademark blue costume. This version (let's call him "blackout Superman") is the same toy, only with his suit black instead of blue, and his 'S' chest symbol red on a black background instead of red on yellow. Blackout Superman offers no new accesories, and no special features. The only reasons I can see for buying this are that you can't find the "true blue" version, or are one of those obsessive collectors who HAVE to have every version of every toy (I'm not one of them). A better deal: get the Justice League's Javelin 7 spacecraft, which has electronic features, AND a True Blue Superman figure free!

This is a beautiful variant of the regular Superman action figure (a loose term, as there are few points of articulation), but I have just one question. Is this the Superman with black symbol as he currently appears in the books, or is it a Kingdom Come version of Supes?
Try naming your variants for the fans, Mattel.

I have bought a lot of action figures. I always want the best likeness. Mattel has done that. There sculpts catch Justice league perfectly. I see my children and all other haveing many adventures with there Justice league fiures. Now Mattel lets have some villans!

I have all the he-man toys for my 5yr old son and he loves playing with them all. I have never had a problem with them falling apart! I thik the he-man and skeletor wolfamor is wonderful you get both he-man and skeletor in great new outfits and a bonus new video! This is a great deal don't pass this one up or you will be looking for it later and most likely won't find it!!!

They're at it again, like an eternal yin and yang, it's He-man and Skeletor in the latest of their seemingly endless variations. We've seen super sound, samurai, spin and smash blades. This time it's He-Man in Wolf Armor vs. Skeletor in Snake Armor. The armor sets are cool enough but the figures have been released before, nice looking shields with a new He-Man video. Skeletor's snake armor is way cool, but wolf armor...the idea is just stupid. What's it going to do...keep He-Man warm? Wolf armor...just plain dumb but they needed a tough, warm blooded, "good" animal to counteract the evil snake armor. Okay...but is it worth [the money]? No, no way. This is an TRU exclusive and will be a sought after collectors item. Eternia's faithful are already screaming for it over at the ultimate Masters of the Universe site, He-Man.org

Ever wonder about Skeletor? He's a skeleton but he has really big muscles...that doesn't make any sense.

First Trap Jaw loses an arm. Now my son drops He Man 2 feet and his leg breaks off. This MOTU line is fun to look at but tell that to boys who want to play with them. Definitely not worth the price. How about releasing a DVD instead of a VHS tape too They're cheaper and lighter. Save your money. Really.

I'm giving this to my 21-year-old boyfriend for Christmas. The bear will be a funny little gift from me to him, and the chance to name his own star will really make this Christmas special for him. He'll really think this is very cool. I'm thinking of getting one for myself, as well, because I'm jealous of his chance to name a star. Plus the bear is so cute!

So many children have problems falling to sleep at night and I think this might be the perfect answer to our problems for all ages from 2-9. I am buying 3, one for my 9 year old daugher, one for my 8 year old son, and one for my two year old nephew. Not only can they learn by naming their own star they take an interest in astronomy as well. They can also cuddle the sweet bear that gives them light in their room, too. What a great idea! Thank you! Then they have a collectable which is for all ages. Thanks again.

We got 4 of these as CHRISTMAS gift for our Grandchildren. I love the idea of them having a star to watch that they have named. We did for 2 girls and 2 boys and their stars are all about in the same area of the big bear. How great to look at your star and see your cousins who lives in Texas. The bears are so cute with their glow in the dark stars and their blanket.

It was the beginning of this year or end of last that Mattel announced that it would be making "Flavas" dolls, most of which would be made to emulate various MTV personalities. These would include Lala- TRL's video jocket, Lil' Kim, Eminem (in blonde hair & also in black hair, to go with his 8 Mile look), Justin Timberlake, and the main doll in the series, they announced, would be inspired by none other than the Queen of Music herself, Christina Aguilera. Christina's doll is the Happy D doll.

One form of Happy D features her blonde hair in complete cornrows flowing long and parted from the middle, much like Christina Aguilera had throughout 2001. Another features Christina's long white hair with piles of black streaks & some little braided strands- much like Christina had her hair in the last half of 2002 (her most known hair style) and it's even in her 2002 Olympics performance outfit.

This version's doll is the best souvenier a Christina Aguilera (or Justin Timberlake) fan could have! It features Christina with white hair, and black hair on the bottom half to replicate that "Dirrty" video hair. If that's not enough, it features the red, white & black leather outfit she wore on that video when she was on a bike. Yes, an EXACT replicate of that outfit (okay, well, the pant legs aren't cut out into chaps because that would be very inappropriate for children.). If that's not enough, it has an EXACT replicate of the red motorcycle she rides in her "Dirrty" video. You couldn't imagine how excited I was considering "Dirrty" is my favorite music video of all time & she is my favorite singer!

Also included with her is a replicate of her current touring partner, Justin Timberlake, complete with his recent facial hair & in one of those urban type outfits he's been sporting lately. He doesn't look as much like himself as the other doll looks like Christina. It was clearly packaged toward Christina fan anyhow.
=D

When I recieved this package of 2 dolls, in the box, they looked cute, kinda. When I took them out to display them, I thought they did a great job on Liam...He is very handsome and realistic, but when I saw Happy D, she looks llike a DWARF!
Her head is way too big for her body and way bigger then any other Barbie, or Ken doll's head, and her her body is too small to fit in any clothes other then pre-teen Skipper. Liam is a little taller then most Kens, so that makes Happy D even shorter. And with her Cruella de Ville hair, she looks like a total freak!!!!!!!
I dont know why they made them look like such an odd couple, but I wouldnt reccemend this set for the girl doll, but the bike and the male doll are awsome!
p.s. the helmets dont fit well at all!

The twist of the "Anniversary" card allowing you to pass your entire hand to an opponent makes this a GREAT family and friends game! Much more exciting than any other Uno game. Would suggest we be able to buy refill cards however as we keep wearing ours out.

Take care when ordering this item. The review above would indicate that this is the Anniversary edition of the game with the special Anniversary cards. It is not. This is the traditional Uno game just dressed up in a tin storage container and a splash of fancy paint around the edges of the cards. It is not the Anniversary edition. It is the Deluxe edition.

I just wish though, that they were sold in stores without the whole set. It took quite awhile to get them all. I was glad to learn that they were avaible online. The toy truck goes perfect with my construction toys that I have already. I couldn't do without it.The rest of the set is durable, and have never had it break on me.

It might not have enough moving parts to keep an older child's interest, but my almost 3 year old son loves running his hotwheels up and down the ramps. It's been pretty sturdy for us set up on a low table, and doesn't come apart unless knocked to the floor. He likes it because it's something to "vroom" his cars around on and there's a tunnel under the road he can stuff things into, I like it because I don't have to re-assemble it very often and there aren't any detachable pieces to keep track of, all in all we're both happy with it.

Like most matchbox toys, I don't think this toy has actually stayed together for a full day. I can't tell you how many times I have put it back together. All the parts come apart too easily. I bought this for my son a yr ago and he rarely plays w/ it.

My 5 year old daughter was given this toy as a birthday gift. She plays with it almost every night in the tub, and it works fine. It is a very realistic jet ski, and even shoots a plume of water in the air. Even my son plays with it sometimes!

My daughter is 3 and loves this toy, especially the dolphin, but we had a "traumatic" event when Barbie's hair became entangled in the motor blades of the boat. The boat stopped functioning, and Barbie had to have an emergency haircut! We were able to take apart the boat,remove all of the hair and get it functioning again. My daughter is now very cautious never to stick her own hair (or Barbie's) near the propeller when she has the boat in the tub!

This toy is very nice. I love it a lot and I recomend it. It bring hours of fun.

Hi,

I've been a collector for sometime now.I haven't bought the doll yet,but I think she is pretty.I think that by the discription she makes a fun toy.People forget about fun.Her outfit is super cool.Barbie is better dressed than many of our actresses these days.Peolpe should look more at the lingerie commercials that play continuesley on tv,instead of attacking barbie,which is the least of their problems.A 85% of the girls in juniorhigh and in highschool,don't end up prenant because of barbie,they end up pregnant because they don't play with barbie,instead they play boys.If they would play with thier dolls like I did till I was 17 and my two best friends also played with barbie and they never ended pregnant and neither did I,but silvia and cathey that didn't play with barbie and deceided to leave their dolls early got a little surprise from the ohstrish bird!My two best friends,one works in a hospital with sonograms,and the other is a manager for a store.I became a teacher!I played with barbie all my life!And I say this doll is harmless and beautiful.

While this doll's hair does look different, the girls have been having fun curling and straightening the hair. You can curl the hair around your finger or use one of the styling tools that come with the doll. My daughter also has a salon playset and many kids have enjoyed playing with the dolls and salon. However, you can not brush the dolls hair. Again, this may not be the best looking barbie but the hair is a fun idea.

I happen to think that barbies, like this one, that are dressed up in "leather" and labeled as trendy are not sending kids the kind of message that they should be getting when they are young enough to be playing with barbies in the first place. Even as an older collector, this doll isn't anything special, and has really ugly hair. I suggest that you don't waste your money on the Trendy and Bendy barbie doll- go for something that is beautiful and has educational value, like the Dolls of the World Princess of Portugal.
