This review is from: BARBIE Splash & Style Mermaid Doll with Angel Fish (Toy)

My almost 5 year-old loves Ariel, the Little Mermaid, and has been asking me to get her some mermaid dolls that can 'play' with her Ariel doll. When I spied this in a local store, I was attracted by the colors and how 'real' they looked so I purchased the pink and purple mermaid dolls. They are amazing! The dolls have this silicone like lower body that makes the mermaid fin feel supple and almost real. The bonus is that when one presses the hip area on one side, the fin moves! It's great for playing with in the water, and bathtimes have become so much more fun since my daughter got these dolls. The other little accessories that come with the dolls are cute but she hasn't really played with them, preferring the dolls. As for the durability, well, the dolls have held up really well, though I have to say that the little tiara on the head can be lost quite easily once it detaches from the doll's hair. The educational value? It allows a child to create a world of fantasy and imagination, and that to me is priceless.

This doll is very beautiful - one of the nicest and sweetest looking in the Barbie fantasy line. I really like that her tail is vinyl and not hard plastic like previous mermaid dolls. because it is vinyl, she bends at the 'knees' and that allows for even more posing.

Definitely one of the best Barbies for little girls who like fantasy style dolls!

Since I couldn't decide which color my daughter would like for Christmas, I went nuts and got her all three colors of this mermaid doll- pink, purple and aqua. I have to say I am totally impressed! I paid half of what I paid for the Sleeping Beauty and other dolls this Christmas and this doll is made so well, and is so beautiful. Literally, beautiful.

Beauty is not only skin deep.
There is an aesthetic appeal with the colors, not overpowering with the pinks and purples like some Barbie items can be. There is good color interchange here. The hair is great! The crown fits tightly with a slim, see-through band. Once that's torn though, good luck I guess (of the three, two reattached well, one did not). There is also a surprising ergonomic appeal which is immediately apparent the moment you hold the doll. The silicone (??) skin of the fins is soft, flexible and very durable. Not to mention, artfully done. Bonus points for adding the little sea creatures: a fish for Pink, a dolphin for purple, and a seahorse for aqua.

My daughter was BEGGING for me to give her a bath.
Afterwards they dried well, no paint came off or anything, all was nice. However, there was still somehow a little water leftover inside somewhere and laying down on her bed it made a wet spot the size of her three-year-old's sock, that after having for a hour, so your guess is as good as mine.

Bottom line: Great toy, great product, well made, fantastic value-price ratio and the best-looking mermaid gal you'll find out there. Well done, well done.
