Mattel Reviews

Silly fun can be had with this. The keychain is small and hard to read but still a great conversation piece.

This car is very durable. Its pretty fun because the 4 double aa's last the car for about 20 minutes.

PRETTY COOL THE GOOD THING IS U CAN TAKE THE CONTROLLER OFF THE TOY CUZ WITH IT IT GETS BORING EASY. WITHOUT THE CONTROLLER U CAN USES HIM WITH YOUR OTHER 5 INCH FIGURES AND GET READY TO DUEL(...).

ALSO AVAILIBLE: TOTAL CONTROL, BUSTER BLADER AND VALKYRION THE MAGNA WARRIOR

I love this doll,but i keep her in my doll house afraid if i play with her...i will get gliter all over my hands and break her. she needs a more durable dress.
overall she makes a great show doll!

I bought this for my daugther for Christmas last year and she loves it so much but the wings fall out a lot, and also they can break off, the little pegs that go inside can snap off, it didn't happen to her doll but it did to a friends. This is a beautiful doll and a lot of fun but be careful with the wings!

Barbie is lovely, as Barbies go (I am NOT a fan of Ms. Thang), but Barbie as Odette was my 5 year old's hearts desire for Christmas (...) so Santa delivered this doll. She is very pretty, and has a beautiful dress, but those wings ruin the toy. My daughter got very frustrated with it until we rigged up the wings so they stay put. Unfortunately, Barbie now has green covered wire all over her torso ... but at least the wings stay on.

If you must buy a Barbie, get a different one.

people calm down its just a doll. granted she looks like she has nothing on but still. i don't think this will teach women to be smart or confident so kill that. because when you dress nasty people treat you that way yet its just a doll. halle berry by the way is half black and half white, not that it should matter.

(...) its 2004 and people should celebrate their sexuality and beuty. Girls need a positive rolemodel who is indipendent and secure in herself. (...) michelle phfiffer made catwomen sexy and dark in the 90's and halle berry is making her confident intelligent and beautiful today. Halle is an amazing women and chooses her career choices not based on money but rather on how she feels the project will touch people. as a fellow actor and strong supporter of the film catwomen in which i was involved i feel outraged at the amount of bashing halle has endured. Shes a hardworking women and deserves more props then the hatred many of you have exuded. You all can choose to support a man like michael moore who bashes our commander in chief, but you bash the life out of Ms. Berry who is helping women find their confidence again. I find it appauling! I think the catwoman film will do just fine due to the many supporters who understand the film's powerful message of self-empowerement and overwhelming sense of confidence in one's self. Many of you need to re-think what you say. I think girls need catwoman now. I think we all need someone like catwoman right now. We need hero's to look up to. Rather then bashing halle we should congratulate her on being a succesful african american women.

To respond to the reviewer who claimed that people who don't like this doll have a problem with the "ethnicity" (how sad to revert to that old argument when disagreed with) I am wondering what ethnic group a Catwoman belongs to?

The Barbie Volkswagon Microbus is the perfect toy. It is hard to fit 6-7 barbies in it ,but the back seat is great for small kids. The seats slide backwards and forwards so you can adjust to the lenght of your dolls legs. The My Scene dolls fit in here as well. I am Happy with my Bus and will use it on a regular basis.

I got this for Christmas. It came with a lot of little stuff, and that is not in the car anymore. I think most of it is in my dollhouse. You should be able to put six dolls in, but there's no place for their feet. The doors slide open on one side. The horn beeps. You can fit lots of Kelly dolls in it. The Bratz FM Limo is better because: 1. There's more room for feet. 2. It plays real music. 3. The horn sounds more real. 4. You can fit six dolls in it, but there's only supposed to be room for four. In this Barbie bus, the only way to fit more dolls in is if they stand up. The Barbie bus is better than the FM Limo because: 1. The seatbelts snap on easier. That's all it's better at. So the FM Limo is better. (You can put Barbies in it if you take the top off. Bratz are shorter.)

I got this toy for christmas last year. I like most of the things about it but there is one problem. It says it can fit 7 barbies. Wrong. It's hard to get them in and you cant fit seven barbies in. I thought I could get Ken in but his head sticks out through the top. But I really like the van and the car seat adds a very cute touch.

hello to tell u the truth i just love this toy the nolle doll has real eyelashes and has beautiful dress on she is the best nolee doll they hve ever made its soooooo cool it has real flashing lights and theres even some room to put your cds in i love this toy and im sure u will tooo,if your girl wants this then buy it her cus i know how she feels she wants it so much its like haven to her hope this rewieve was helpful thanx

This is not a cheap toy (...)at a Toy's R Us store. The only thing I don't like about this is you have to turn a knob for the disco ball to spin. The lights on this are awesome! The furniture is a bit big, and takes up some space, but don't complain about it cause you saw how big it was before you bought it! When you hook up your radio and/or CD player to it, it gets a little fuzzy, every now and then. Other then that, it's pretty good!

I recieved this for Christmas and have only played with it once because it got boring.The furniture takes up WAY too much room. Also, Nolee (the doll that comes with the Sound Lounge) is taller than the Sound Lounge itself! The little coffee table that comes with it is sopposed to store CD's, but it falls apart, scratches your CD's big time and I can NEVER get it to close!

Wow Rockem! Sockem! Robots! Too Cool I remember this from when I was a kid whatever next! Ultra Man? Giant Robot? Johnny Socko? Now I get to share this fun experience with my kids.

This smaller version works just like the original larger one. it's easy to put together. For children under 5yrs who like to grab the robots in the ring,the robots can easily be removed and replaced without breaking.--Randy W

This toy completely broke from stem to stern within a month! After many repairs I finally threw it away. It just wasn't worth it. My children were even tired of it breaking! Mattel should consider making these with the quality they had during the 70's.

BRAVO, BRAVO Mattel! This doll is simply beautiful! The accuracy of the light playing off the dark skin tone is wonderful. The close-up is breathtaking. The "Princess" is really beautiful, and the make-up only enhances her beauty. Mattel has truly achieved diversity and inclusion. They have moved beyond the old days, and the average manufacturers, who just make 'em brown and non distinct. This doll is an asset to collectors because its unique and a cut above.

This doll is so beautiful.. Congratulations Mattel!! You have created a wonderful toy as well as a stunning collectible! I'm a collector and Princess Barbie of South Africa draws admiring glances and wonderful commentary -- standing proudly among her much more expensive and "rare friends" :)

She's an ok doll. At 1st I wasn't exactly turned on by her, but she grew on me. I think it was partially b/c of the FELT wrap on her. What is that?! All the other princesses have taffeta/ lamé/ satin/ brocade and probably many other fabrics that I can't even think of right now. The the Barbie of S. Africa has a cotton dress and some felt cloak thing. Felt is by far the cheapest fabric to come by. Is this how Mattel feels about this particular doll? People in Africa don't just wear cotton... and jeez isn't felt a little too hot to wear there? It's like fleece!!! Other than that I like her jewelry and makeup. ^^;

My son picked this toy out on a trip with his aunt. She bought it for him for Christmas last year. He tried so hard to get the drill to work properly. He would get mad and cry because it wouldn't screw the screws in. My son has a workshop with tools that he can really use, so this one was confusing to him. This is not for a child that can already use a toy screwdriver. It will only frustrate the child and you.

My 3 yr old gave it to her 3 yr old friend and the two of them played so nicely together! I had some trouble figuring it out but they thought it was fantastic. Too early to say if its durable or runs through the batteries, but so far a big hit.

I'd have to agree with the other reviewers who have said Screwy Looey is awfully frustrating for small children. My 5 year old and 2 year old have both played with this and do not understand why the drill keeps "messing up" before they can finish putting in/taking out the screw. The buttons and switches do not seem to reset the drill or make it work "normally". My kids both end up very frustrated so this toy has not been played with much in our house. Very disappointing.
