Mattel Reviews

I just got this doll today. She's gorgeous! Plus Princess Of Mexico comes in a new box where you can open it without removing the doll from box. She looks like an Aztec woman and wears a beautiful jade-green dress with colorful patters at the hem, carries a beautiful, carved gold fan unlike many barbies, an awesome headress with pink and blue flowers. Awesome doll to collect! I have 47 barbies in my collection all in the box and I am fourteen year-old collector. Not twelve

The Dolls of the World Princess Collection has been one of the loveliest put out by Mattel for Barbie collectors, in my estimation. The outfits are historically accurate, and one feels like s/he is buying 'a piece of history' when one of the newest editions is released. This latest addition has the brand-new box design, with a double lid (top and bottom) which provides much more stability to its packaging and prevents a lot of the box collapse, plastic window damage and 'shelf wear' that occurred in shipping and storing with the box design of the first fourteen dolls. If you are a serious collector, boxes are part of the collectability and this is an important issue, especially if one is trying to hold the doll's value for the future. (This is the reason I gave the item 5 stars for durability.) The doll herself is a work of art...the face is exquisite, the dress is a simple but colorful and accurate cotton shift with manteau, and there is a plethora of 'gold' ornamentation in the jewelry. The hair is black and silky, and the gold-and feather headdress must be seen to be appreciated. As with the others in the collection, she has her own stand and COA with passport, should you care to display her out of the box (which does reduce the ultimate value). This doll's value should seriously appreciate in the future and she is a wonderful, colorful addition to the collection, whether you own only one other, or all of the others. I rate the doll with 5 stars for 'fun' simply because, to me, owning it is a joy. But if I were to give one as a gift, I would want it to go to an older child, perhpas at least ten or twelve years old, with an appreciation for the doll as an object of art, and not as a toy.

This is our family favourite game. We all love it - ranging from 7 -40+ yeas old. because of their light weight,we can carry it around to all the trips we have. Rain can no longer ruin my kid's vacation as long as she has this uno with her. The rule of changing hands makes the game more exciting. It also helps my kid learn how to evaluate the game and the more she plays the better she becomes at finding ways to win the game. Highly recommended. Love it.

The kids love this and play it over and over! The new cards that have them trade hands is fun. I like the box, it's easy to open and lasrs longer than the traditional box. For girls the Barbi pictures make it fun.

This figure is simply beautiful. It looks great sitting on a shelf and it's a great toy for young Batman fans to play with. The only way they could make this toy better is to have additional characters from the world of Batman to go along with it. Superman would look great in this form. And, of course, you need some villians. Joker, Riddler, Two Face, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze! They all would be perfect! However, it's only Batman who comes in the 12" size for now, so you'll have to use your imagination. One drawback for this figure is when he bends his leg at the hip, it causes the pockets in his utility belt to open when you don't want them to. Other than that, there is NOTHING to complain about. Go ahead and buy five of them. Maybe the strong demand will persuade Mattel to continue this type of action figure.

It is about time that someone comes out with an accurate depiction of Batman The Darkknight himself. This is not your fathers Batman!
This is the real Darkknight, and it shows just by looking at him.
This goes in line with any comic book fan, a good example of Frank Millers The Darkknight Returns, not as old of course, but never the less, this is the true depiction of what The Darkknight is all about! Here Here Mattel, I give a 4 1/2 star batarang rating on this one! (The utility pouches do not open as far as shown, and can be cracked, so be careful, don't force it). The batcape also doesn't spread out as shown,it's sewn to his costume above his shoulders, so it takes some creativity to get it to stay if you like the full batwing look.

And of course when my littlest looked at it....he HAD to have it. They are great toys, perfect for his little hands! He will not let his older brother or older sister touch them. He is super huge into batman. We didn't however pay the 11 or so dollars for them. We paid 7.95 for it. Great TOYS!!!!!And my son also LOVES the Robin, it is the only Robin that he has!

This is my favorite Robin toy...actually it's my only Robin toy, but it's still my favorite Robin. It's the only good Robin I can find. All the others are lame. The Batman's nice, but his cape is stuck on his neck, making it hard to move and impossible to make him jerk his head around. I mostly got the toy because it was the only Tim Drake, young, traditionally painted Robin, and because he kind of looks like in my favorite show, Teen Titans. I plan to get more Tim Drake, young Robins. I reccomend this to everyone, even if they don't like Batman. Even if their a girl!

WOW! My younger brothers got this quite a few years ago, and the older version has different colors, but is exactly the same otherwise. This toy is amazingly fun! The chair and computer console, and the tank, all come off easily, so that was frustrating, but otherwise, all was great!

My brothers, as avid Batman fans and collectors, had a blast dropping Robin from the fall-in "glass" ceiling on the front of the mansion. The computer and it's chair are especially fun to play with. What seems to fuel a lot of imagination is the closet next to the computer screens. It can be rotated so that you put Batman in, turn it, and open the door to see Batman GONE! Whoa, right? The entire mansion itself can be collapsed, which is nice for travel to Grandma's or to the living room.

This toy supplies lots of fun, whether you like Batman or not!

Great toy! My son got this toy several years ago, and he still plays with it frequently. It comes with the Alfred figure which you can't get anywhere else. It is also designed to work with the Shadowcast Batmobile, which just means the the Batmobile can drive through one of the walls--it just tilts up and the Batmobile goes under. My son didn't like that Batmobile because Robin couldn't ride with Batman, but the one designed for both figures is HUGE!!! It is durable, but the tank that comes off for the figures to fall in from the balcony gets harder and harder to get back on.

These dolls are a good move toward the future. I have purchased a set of them for my granddaughter. I think they are a much better example of diversity than the "other" brand of dolls which appeared this Christmas which uses exagerated features and overly large heads which makes them look not real. The clothes and accessories on the FLAVA dolls reflect what we see on kids as they move about their daily lives. I was never a Barbie fan even as a child; however, I feel Mattel has made a move in the right direction with this line of dolls. I only wish they had done more to market them this year. Perhaps they will do so in the future.

I just bought this doll not to long ago. and she is so very cool. She's very hip. I recamand these dolls be for the adult doll colector. But I think the 13 year old should play with them cause younger kids won't know how to fix hair, and will get it all tangled. The kids that can take care of Barbie and friends dolls. Then they should get these dolls, I have 3 Flavas dolls so far, P. Bo ( sport) K. Brown, (street) Liam (street). All dolls are really cool. I think p.Bo is alot like J.Lo. I think Matel was trying to make a J.lo doll. but changed the name cause of copyrights. These dolls make cool friends for the Barbie doll any way. But, I think the people and kids that can take well care of fashion dolls should buy theses doll. Whats your Flava?

Alright Now I think that the Happy Family Set is a great idea for children! The reason why they have the same names is they are the same family getting older over time. It is educational also because this set is all about watching Nikki growing up. When I was little they came out with Midge's wedding set. So now they have her older with Ryan and their new baby. It is to show the family growing up together over time. This is set is probably mostly going to be about Nikki. Because we watch her grow from new born, to one year old and so on and so forth. Also if you look closely you can notice the difference between the dolls, like which one is older, because thats what they are trying to show you. This is a very educational product too because then children can see Nikki grow up from a little baby to probably the point where she has a family of her own. If you thought this was helpful, please press yes.

This set is very cute but, Mattel keeps making new Families that are the same people with the same name. It would be nice if they changed their names and made them look different. But still you can pretend that the mom is Midge's sister and she married Alen's best bud. This set is mostly cardboard but you can buy it just to get the new dolls. Oh, and if you find this review helpful click yes below. 0: )

Very nice details, certainly looks like Harry Potter. Very durable toy. Makes a nice collectable if you can hold on to it. Children will love it as a gift.

This figure is one of the best harry potter figures! Not only is it for chamber of secrets it should be for Prisenor of azkbaban. Because this looks alot like the patronus harry figure..only in smaller form. The prisenor figures are: Expecto Patronum Harry, Dementor, Extreme quidditch Harry, Invisibility Cloak Harry, Werewolf Lupin, Dumbledore, Voldemort Boggart. And if you missed the last four figures :Spider swarm harry, Dumbledore with Fawkes, Dueling club Hermoine, and Dueling club Ron will also be very easy to find!

I got it. Wow. It's neat. Almost as if everything's detailed (wrinkles, veins, nails, etc). Looked scary. I am glad to have it to my collection.

I just got this toy yesterday! It is awesome. It is durable and is a huge load of fun. I recomend it for kids 10 and under. It is awesome. The werewolf is sooo cool looking. I saw the Harry Potter 3 trailer and saw the werewolf on it. Can't wait!!!! Like I said it's a great HP3 toy.
