Thursday, March 29, 2012
We purchased this for our daughter's 7th birthday. She loves it! The video quality is surprisingly good for something that fits inside a Barbie doll! The audio isn't bad either. You do need quite a bit of light for recording, but we were able to record things inside the house with light just from open blinds. The editing software is a little tricky to figure out, but I was able to "produce" a 2 minute video with intros, transitions, sounds, and credits in about 30 minutes. I don't have any prior experience with editing software, and I'm sure it will get much quicker now that I've figured out how to do it. I don't think my daughter will be able to edit any videos herself, but I would rather help her anyway. Overall, I think this is a great product, and I would definitely recommend others buy this if they are thinking about it.

Bought this for my daughter who is Twilight obsessed. She wanted this for Christmas. Got it for a great price and she plays with it almost daily. The only thing that I don't care for about the doll is that under the jacket, she's not wearing a shirt. So if you unzip it, there's nothing under there which I find odd. Other than that, no complaints.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that this car comes with a Barbie doll. After re-reading the product info it does state that it includes a doll but I totally missed that somehow. It's a standard blonde haired/blue eyed Barbie. My toddler daughter is going to absolutely LOVE this set on Christmas morning (got it to go along with a KidCraft 3-story dollhouse). The car seems of good enough quality to last at least a few years with fairly rough use, or at least until my infant son turns 3 in a few years and decides to take the Barbie car 'off roading'. LOL! The doors do not open, you just slide the dolls into their seats. No sounds, no lights, just a plain rolling car, which is perfect for my daughter right now. For the price I don't think you can beat this car & doll combo. It arrived super fast from Amazon and was cheaper on Amazon than it was in stores for JUST the car.

Barbie can hop in her jeep easily and zoom around the house just fine. So much fun to watch my granddaughter use her imagination to play...no video game or TV!

Lalaloopsy Doll
The Lalaloopsy dolls are just magnificent. They are so reminiscent of the old "Rag Dolls" that I used to play with as a young girl. They are plastic, but don't let that fool you into thinking they aren't lovable. They are precious. Lalaloopsy Suzette La Sweet is so perfect with her pink dress and large button eyes and matching pup. She just brings a smile to my face! I have purchased a few of these for Christmas presents for my 4 year old niece as well as for my 6 year old niece. Both girls love these cuties. They are very durable, have clothes and accessories that can be purchased for each doll as well as Lalaloopsy chapter books and coloring books. They are also incredible to have for a daycare setup since they are SO EASY to lysol clean and disinfect. I think they are perfect for little imaginations...almost a flashback to the 50's when all the girls loved their little dolls with button eyes and single line smiles!

Lalaloopsy Doll
First of all, I bought this one in the store for my Ellaloopsy for just over $20 at Walmart, so I'd recommend shopping around and price checking on this beauty. When Ella first saw her she absolutly fell in love with her as she loves Lalaloopsies and Mermaids; even I thought she was by far the prettiest of all the Lalaloopsies I have seen thus far. The online pictures just don't do her justice. Partly, I think it's the clothes, her mermaid tail is so shimmery and shiny and beautiful, it's just exquisite, and with the way it catches light in person it's lovely, on film it doesn't reflect that quite as well. She also has a super cute one-piece bathing suit she can change into for "human-form" for at the beach, pool, or bath tub. I love that it is a very modest, innocent, little girl, one piece bathing suit and NOT a bikini. Then she has red hair and it's done pulled in low back piggie tails with a light-blue bow but changes to a pretty purple when wet, which Ella loves! Ella hates bath time, what kid doesn't? But ever since she got her mermaid lalaloopsy it has been SO much easier getting her into the tub lately! She always takes her tail off, she seemed to understand that was made of "better material" and even though she was a mermaid, she needed her swimsuit on to get wet, lol. She really liked that she came with a fish pet, too, to go in the tub with her, and named him Flounder, of course. Definitly an adorable set and must-have for any LaLaloopsy/Mermaid fan, my little girl loves it and it makes bathtime at our house a lot easier! As far as water, I was worried about it "collecting" in the large loopsy head, so I warned Ella just not to hold her under or anything (lol, you should have seen the look that earned me, as if I thought she was drowning her babies when I wasn't looking, how dare I suggest such a thing?) but it doesn't seem to collect anything so far and the body is solid. Whatever does get in drains completely, nothing runs out when I pick it up after it's dried out.

My five year old daughter loves her Lalaloopsy dolls. She has never been a doll lover, but she has totally gone nuts over these particular dolls. I think it's because of their fun, colorful, whimsical look. As a parent, I like the fact that they have a plastic body because they are easily wiped clean. Their hair is even plastic, so you don't have to worry about a tangled mess of hair. Their heads are quite heavy, so smaller children may have difficulty carrying them around. All Lalaloopsy dolls have a "sewn on date" which represents their personality. All dolls come with a pet. Pillow Featherbed comes with a pet sheep. Buying through Amazon has been a positive experience.

Clawdeen is one of my favorites of the Monster High doll collection. I love that they created a neon green bob for her Dawn of the Dance outfit. I don't take these out of the box usually (unless I have a duplicate) because they look so nice in their dioramas/box. I'll be writing a review for Monster High Ghoulia Yelps and others as I receive them. Ghoulia and Lagoona are proving to be my favorites though. I've seen pics of the Dawn of the Dance Ghoulia and Lagoona and they look amazing...especially Lagoona's hair. And then there is the Ghoulia and Lagoona Classroom with locker and other goodies that will be available for us to buy soon. Whoever is responsible for designing these dolls and their outfits and accessories...and packaging, is doing an awesome job. Can't wait to see all the new arrivals. Highly recommended.

Monster High Dead Tired Clawdeen Wolf Doll And Bed Playset

Monster High Doll
This Clawdeen Wolf Bed Set is amazing and I'm so happy I got it for $30 as they were going for much higher on ebay. I think $30 is reasonable for the toy, $11 for the doll and then $20 for the bed. I'm an adult collector so I can't speak for how this toy would be for a small child. I just know for me it's great, the Monster High dolls are very cute and unique. I hope this line continues on for a long time. Though I love monster high I don't want to pay an insane amount for a toy, which is why I'm glad amazon lowered the price. I'd only pay a high amount for rare dolls (truely rare, not just that they haven't come out in the US yet), limited editions, dolls that were only released at comic con and such. But this set is pretty awesome, very happy that I purchased and I love all the little accessories.

Monster High Dead Tired Lagoona Blue Doll And Hydration Station Playset
Posted in
Labels:

Monster High Doll
I just got the Hydration Station for Lagoona Blue and Neptuna and it's super cool!
Besides the hydration station, it also comes with a Dead Tired Lagoona and Neptuna, bottle of H20, a journal that really opens with pen, moisturizer bottle, and makeup compact that opens, a base and stand if you want to display Lagoona outside of her hydration chamber, brush, night slippers, a sleep mask for Lagoona and one for Neptuna and water funnel to pour water into the chamber.
It takes 3 AA batteries and I was able to fill the chamber and assemble in less than 10 minutes. Super easy. Yes, this thing is as cool as it looks on the Youtube videos, if not cooler. You press the shell on the front and you can switch between three different effects: flashing lights; extended flashing lights, and lights always on. It's got a built in feature that will turn the hydration station off automatically when left idle to save the batteries. So you can't really use this as a nightlight that would stay on all night.
To get the full effect of the hydration station you need to view it in a dark room to see the different colored bubbles and effects. And Lagoona and Neptuna look so restful in their hydration chamber!
It took me some time to get one of these, and I am so happy I did. It's the best Monster High product out at the moment in my opinion. I hope they keep designing cool products like this in the future.
One additional note: In my opinion this is a room accent toy/product. I'm an adult collector so I'm not sure what the little ones will be doing with this, but I would discourage playing hard with it. I was checking out the construction and how they accomplish the bubble and light feature. I think if you were to knock the water chamber about too much you might eventually experience leaking water. I just leave Lagoona in her chamber and use the hydration station as a light accent in my house. Hope this helps.
Regarding battery life: this toy uses batteries up quickly. If you notice that the bubbles really aren't bubbling so much, but the lights are still operating, don't worry the bubbler isn't broken, it just fades first before the lights.
Highly recommended.

I bought both the Bella and Edward wedding dolls!! I ltove them and I'm so excited to have them for my collection. Edward is dressed so handsomely in a realistic tuxedo with the wedding flower on the left of his jacket and wedding ring. The doll is pale and I know there will be complaints about this, but this doesn't bother me because he IIS a VAMPIRE. LOL This item is a must have for all dedicated twi-fans/collector, such as myself. This is not a tog, but a collector item.

This is by far the cutest of the Monster High dolls and a wonderful addition to any little girls collection. I love everything about her. Adorable outfit. The clothes are more "stiff" than the previous dolls so her dress doesn't ride up and her hair is shaped so you dont need to worry about it becoming a mess. She's a must!

For a surprisingly low price, my daughters were able to set up a Barbie house with furniture and decorative additions that they will enjoy for quite a long time. Yet, when we need their bedroom to look immaculate, this toy can easily be packed away. It's large enough to satisfy my seven year-olds whose friends have the three story wooden versions.

Barbie Pink 3-Story Dream Townhouse

I purchased this to give to my daughter for her birthday. The house is huge. It was quite simple to assemble. The hardest part and what took the longest was the elevator. I had a hard time getting this little plastic piece to snap into the top to make the elevator go up and down. I think I worked on the elevator for at least a half hour. That was almost as long as it took me to assemble the rest of the house and apply the stickers. It is sturdy and will hold up to hours of playing I am sure. The lights over the hot tub came with batteries. I will still need to buy some AA to make the rest of the lights and sound work. This is quite similar to the Barbie dream house I remember a friend of mine having in the 70's. I think it's a good value for the money and quite fun. I wish I had gotten to play with this growing up. I look forward to playing with it and my daugther.

Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2 Merliah Transforming Doll
My 7 year old loves this doll. She's making her "air" surf, loves transforming the doll's hair from blonde to pink (with ice water and a q-tip). No problem's at all with the durability and construction of the doll and her tail. She also loves transforming her other dolls into mermaids with the tail piece. My daughter is a diehard Barbie fan but I think any girl would like this doll!

Monster High Skull Shores Abbey Bominable Doll
I snatched her up in a local store, and was thrilled to have finally found an Abbey: an Abbey! And at around $12! (Hold out for the lower prices, and buy in store if at all possible!) She is gorgeous, with no visible flaws, but again, I must warn parents that with rough play, her joints may not last. Her hand, and I believe her forearms are designed to detach for easier undressing and redressing.
The doll is sparkly and has a rough texture due to that, so I image she may snag fabric, but the effect is beautiful.
I find Abbey to be one of the prettier characters in the series of dolls, and love her Skull Shores design as well.
If you are lucky enough to find her, I'd recommend buying one. She really make a statement.

Monster High Draculaura And Clawd Wolf Doll Giftset
My first comment is that these dolls are for children over the age of 10 and/or adult collectors. These dolls have extremely small parts including hands and arms that have to be detached to undress/redress them. Their limbs can be fragile as well and are easily snapped at the joints if they are played with too roughly.
Past that, I have nothing but praise for these highly detailed beauties! I love the accessories they come with including highly detailed shoes, purses, jewelry, and clothing. Their faces are gorgeous, and with the diaries and info on the boxes kids can really get to know the doll and her personality. Overall a creative new doll line that encourages kids to accept all kinds of "creatures" no matter their background. They promote the message of tolerance in a pretty package.

Monster High Toralei Stripe Doll with Pet Sweet Fang
Toralei was always my favorite monster high, even before she was a doll. She is very wild and cat like. My favorite part is her tail. No other monster high ever had a tail. I love her and play with her every day.
