Mattel Reviews

All I heard about before Christmas was Magna Wheels. We came across them accidentally on clearance somewhere and bought them for our youngest son's birthday. Both of them love to play with them, and they play with them constantly. We have a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old, and they both seem to be able to work with them just fine. At first, our 4-year-old had a little trouble, but once he figured it out, he did great. They seem to be very durable. We have all six of the sets.

This toy offers a great concept, but the design is faulty. It requries boys to push down it to put the pieces together, and when they do, the axles bend and the wheels don't spin. It lasted two days in our house before a six year old bent the axles. I was watching him play with it, and I know he was not abusing it, just playing it. I would not recommend this toy.

Why is it that people that do not like my scene dolls vote on just one type?? They are just going to put one star on every thing that has anything to do with my scene and I don't think thats fair. I think that the my scene jammin in Jamaica is the best release ever. This set of my scene doesn't cost that much at all and I recommend it completely.

I am 9 but I don't like my dolls.They are getting to trashy, and to boy kissy.i do not approve.This is what i really feel.The dolls are not durable even though I play with them gentley.

I Think this toy is a pretty good one. But it is easy to loose the parts. But this is better than the last Slashin World, what was used maybe a year ago. The Hair gets in the way, a lot, so I bought this toy, because of the things in it.

I bought this toy and the other two in the set for my sister and she spent at least 3 days constantly playing with them. The company must have changed the plastic they use because the clothes were alot easier to slide on than the older toys. I would recommend this toy for kids ages 6 and up because it is still challenging to dress the girls.

This figure from Mattel's new line of Bat-figures is actually pretty good. The color scheme works pretty well and the dark knight is actually dark as oppsed to the other figured such as the green hydro-suit batman or martial arts batman. The additions on this oufit (or armor) makes Batman look like he's from the not too distant future. Overall, it's pretty good.

I bought this gift for my 3 year old niece and she loved it. It came with a cute little tiara for the birthday girl. Unfortunately I think she was a bit too young for the toy because she wanted to undress it and she ended up losing the shoes. My sister ended up putting it away because she said that it was too nice for my niece to ruin. So what she did was she put it up on a shelf and it made a very nice display doll for my niece's room. I think that this doll is too pretty for a younger child to play with and ruin. I would recommend it for an older girl, or for use as a display for a collector or to add a touch of decoration for a little girls room to match the barbie comfortor, curtains, etc.

Well, This is surely a mattel toy! The figures feet not all the time fit in the pegs why would they stand while riding on the knight bus? Second there are no decals like the one in the movie.. like All Destinations Except Underwater. ell I wouldnt buy this at all if I were you! Take my word for it!

The gift was well-recieved by my 4-year old niece who won't go anywhere without her Miracle Moves Baby. Two problems with the construction though: the back bar could be wider since the baby slumps to either side even with the seatbelt fastened securely and the back bar keeps coming apart (it's in 2 pieces) - the rest of the assembly seems to be okay.

I like Madison doll but Kenzie is alot better then Madison! But from my Kenzie, She has a really pretty rub and a really nice tub and bubbles are a plastc covering (Really durable)!!! BUY THIS TOY ASAP!
(...)BR>PS The Eye mask is cheep crap!

This game is not like the old rock em sock em robots. It's set in the future, and allows you to compete in fights in a 3-D ring with other robots. You can knock off your oppenents parts and if you win you get to keep them. You can earn cash through matches to buy parts to upgrade your robot. There are 14 robots and there is also a 2 player mode. This game is fair and would appeal more to a younger crowd. If you really want a good customizeable robot game check out the armored core series for the PS1 and PS2.

Like the others mentioned my daughter wanted this and only this for Christmas. She has wanted a my size barbie for 2 years so we finally gave in. Sadly, it has been returned. She was very excited to get it but found it very hard to play with. It has to be propped up or carefully stood on her feet and it doesn't sit down. The wings kept falling off and the outfit was very cheap. The slippers wouldn't stay on either. It's very sad that an item that costs so much is made so poorly and such a rip off. Shame on Mattel. They could do much better! These were on clearance at 70% off after Christmas. I'm glad we took ours back. Our daughter picked out 2 smaller items and is very happy with them at about 1/3 of the price.

This is a beautiful barbie with her new face and highlighted hair. The one I purchased does not have those durability issues like others have mentioned. She does stand up on her flat feet - it does take some balancing. Her hair could end up a mess, fortunately my little girl keeps the hair close-to perfect. In fact, many would be pleased to see Mattel produce a true long-haired MSB (not like those rapunzels with the hair extensions).

This was our 5 year old's one "Big" gift this year. While her brothers got lots of little presents, this was basically her only one because it was soooo expensive, and she wanted it so much! It is now March and we are headed out to [the store] to return this piece of junk. The doll is NOTHING like what is advertised. It does NOT stand on its' own. It stayed propped up in the corner of her closet from New Years' until last week, when she finally decided to try again to play with it. The crown had broken within 2 days of Christmas, and the hair was tangles mess almost from the second it let the box. The clothing was pathetically cheap and ill-fitting, both for the Barbie and the child! She decided to dress it in her pajamas last night, and when she lifted the arm to put into the sleeve, it ripped off. It is not just dislocated like the little Barbies sometimes get, but the vinyl arm is completely torn away from the socket. You can imagine how distressing this is to the 5 year old owner, and also to myself who was dunmb enougt to pay so much in the first place! DO NOT BUY THIS TOY!!!
