This is a truly beautiful Barbie doll. I was never into dolls when I was younger (and of course they didn't have Princess, Mermaid or Fairy Barbies in the 80s that I knew of... or I would have wanted them!) but my two daughters saw these in the store and had to have them. We bought the Aqua one with the dolphin and the Purple doll with the Seahorse.

They are glittery on their tails, which thankfully doesn't come off so you don't end up coated in glitter. The hair seems very realistic and is soft and fluffy. The doll came with a large brush for her hair and also a little ring to clip the sea animal to her tail. Neither of my daughters wanted to use this option but DID love to play with the cute sea animals as much (or moreso) than the dolls! If you squeeze her hips, you can feel a round "button" underneath and pressing on both sides will cause her tail to move. This is so she seems to be "swimming" underwater. They don't dry out that fast, but seem to be fairly sturdy and each doll is unique with their own details and "clothing" and "accessories" variations.

Very pretty, and can be included in bathtime fun as well. No complaints here...

The scales at the joint where the body meets the hips acts as grip-teeth and will VERY easily pinch fingers if your finger is at that place when moving the body. I pinched my finger just minutes after opening the package; my 3yr old could very easily get a serious pinch. Going to return it.

My daughter has a few of the other mermaids in this collection -- the flipper part of the tail on the blue one always falls off.. this one seems to be holding up great. The only drawback is that my daughter(4.5) has so much fun playing with all the "girls" that she doesn't want to get out of the tub!

My 3 and 4 year old daughters LOVE this doll!! It quickly became a must-have at bath time. But the tail broke at one of the moveable joints on one of the dolls after just 2 days. Can't say for certain if the doll was cheaply made or if my daughter had too much fun at the doll's expense. Very little educational value, but the imagination value seems priceless!

My 4 year-old daughter loves it! She's had it for 1 month now. We've just taken it to the beach and the swimming pool, it still works and looks fine.

My 4 year old daughter received two of these dolls for Christmas and I don't know if she is just too young to be playing with them,but she managed to break the fins off the tail on BOTH dolls! She really enjoyed playing with them for the short time she had them though. I just feel bad that $30 was invested into something she won't be playing with anymore.=(

My four-year-old daughter loves princesses and mermaids. She saw this doll while shopping with her gift certificate and thought it would be perfect for her. She definitely loves it. I think the doll looks great - the hair is nice and thick and the colors they chose are great. I'm not sure what one part is for - like a half-ring - but the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

I purchased this Barbie Splash and Style Mermaid (purple) for my daughter for her birthday. This is all she plays with. Since watching H20 on Nick TV; That is the only toys she wants. Finally a mermaid that plays as if she is really a mermaid. We hope to see mores toys of this nature in the future. Hear/read that all you toy companies???? What a hit with all the little girls if there were alot more selections to choose from. Will be a HOT toy for SANTA to bring for your little girl(s). Don't wait and don't think twice to purchase one. If you wait until November, you will miss out!!!! EXCELLENT TOY by far.
