This Barbie is a wonderful idea! My daughter loves it! It's more than just a Barbie -- it's a bath toy and Barbie in one. She plays with it both in and out of the bath tub. She had outgrown most of her other bath toys so I was very happy to find a bath toy geared more towards her age. If you press the sides of her hips her fin moves by bending at the knees (so that she is "swimming"). She also has a lever on her back that if you move up and down makes her head and arms move. This Barbie is very easy for my four year old to use (unlike some other specialized Barbies, e.g. Butterfly Barbie and Ice Skating Barbie). I wondered how her hair would do after getting wet but it only made it softer and more manageable. Overall, a very good Barbie for the price. Highly recommended.

My 3 year old daughter recieved this barbie as a Christmas present. She is so in love with the movie The Little Mermaid. In fact that is what inspired my parents to buy this doll for her. The doll is so versitale from the tub to the pool, she brings hours of fun, laughter, and excitement to my daughter's bath or pool time fun. The color will not fade from the chlorine in pool either. This doll is also the closest thing you can find to "Ariel" from the movie. I would definetly recommend this product to other parents whose kids are as in love with the fanatsy of Mermaids, as my daughter is.
Thank you.

Mermaid Fantasy Barbie doll is the best! My daughter has never liked baths until this doll came along. She plays with her the whole time and doesn't want to get out of the tub. When bath time is finally over, by squeezing the mermaid's legs/fins together just under the waist you can get the water out to avoid mildew; and at her back, where there's a lever which makes her arms and head move, water comes out the top of the doll.

My daughter has played with Fantasy Mermaid for close to a year now and she honestly still looks brand new--nothing broken.

I keep "Ariel," as my daughter calls her, only for play in the bathtub and hang her up on the shower caddy to dry. While "Ariel" is drying, I dry my child's hair. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Hopefully it will be helpful in encouraging my child to want to learn to swim too! Sometimes the toys that a child loves and plays with the most are the least expensive. It's nice when this happens!

My 3 year old loves this doll and the price was right, but I would not have purchased it if I had realized the tail came separate and had to be attached. The tail remained unattached the majority of the time during the first 3 days we had it, and then my daughter broke the plastic part that is SUPPOSED to keep the tail attached to the body. I followed the attachment directions precisely, but it just doesn't hold. I would have thought that the doll would have held up for more than 3 days.

I decided to call Mattel today and see what they were willing to do, but when I called them at 2:50 PST they were closed. Apparently they need a few minutes to make their 3:00 closing time. It drives me crazy when a company says they are open until a certain time but they actually aren't.

I am highly disappointed with the entire experience and I guess I will have to watch more closely the Barbies I purchase in the future. Like everything else, it sure seems like Barbie was more solid when I was growing up!

We actually own all three of the Mermaid Fantasy dolls. The price makes them easy to purchase and they are beautiful dolls. As well as being quite fun to play with. My daughter just could not wait for me to buy her the last of the three (Christie). I am hoping that Mattel will do a Mermaid Fantasy doll of Ken and of Kelly and her friends. We have the Mermaid Fun Kelly, but it just isn't the same as having that tail attached. We also have older Barbie mermaids and these new ones are by far the best. BUY IT YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!!

This mermaid is so cool!I got the mermaid for a gift and I loved it!If you are looking for something great to play with when you have nothing to do or if you are looking for a toy you can bring every where this is the one to get.I will say that their fin is so cool the way it looks and the way it feels I don't know what I would do without this mermaid!!!

This is one of the coolest most realistic toys I have ever seen!When I first got this mermaid I didn't really think I would play with it that much but when I opened the box it was great!I would by this mermaid if you want something fun,realistic,and very pretty then I would get this mermaid!!

My daughter loves this toy, but less than an hour after she took it out of the box there was a hole in the rubber tail. Now the tail fills with water in the tub. It has to be able to withstand a 5 year old for at least an hour!

My daughter loves this doll, but the tail literally falls off every 2 minutes. It doesn't seem to be made very well. So if you don't mind reattaching the tail constantly it is a very beautiful doll which I am sure any 3,4 or 5 year old little girl will love.

This was a wonderful gift for my mermaid loving 5yr daughter until the rubber that composes her lower body began to split at the base of the torso and the tail section. I fear this is from my daughter dressing and undressing the mermaid in different Barbie fashion shirts, by griping the doll by the main section of the tail. I am sorry that this has happened and my daughter was in tears over it. I love the doll and see how much it means to my daughter, so I have ordered another one to replace it and hope that this one lasts longer now that my daughter has figured out a new way of dressing the mermaid that is not so evasive.
