4.0 out of 5 stars Great doll, Just not "Genevieve", December 8, 2006

This review is from: Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses - Princess Genevieve, African American (Toy)

I bought this for my girls at the 64% off price, and was pleased with the purchase. She takes 2 AAA batteries, which were not included. The batteries go into each of her thighs. We've had her for 2 weeks, and she's still spinning and lighting up, and gets played with regularly. One thing to note is that if her arms are down, touching the dress at all, the dress will not spin. Her shoes do come off, but my daughters havn't figured that out yet, since they fit so well. She cannot be undressed like other barbies, but she's in a gorgeous princess dress, so my girls don't care in the slightest. When my daughter saw her, she was so very excited to have Genevieve ... until she watched the movie with the barbie. It was at that point that she realised that the movie Genevieve is blonde. The doll is still cool (she does have a medium brown color of hair like my girls), and a lot of fun, but just not quite like the movie. I wish the movies would have more diversity. All in all, for the sale price, I'd highly reccomend it to any 12 Dancing Princesses fans, but I wouldn't have paid full price for any of the 12 dancing princesses dolls. They are fun for the price, but I don't expect the quality to last very long.

This is a beautiful doll. I purchased one for my 5yr. old granddaughter and her best friend. They both love her and her pretty spinning dress. They both love princesses and ballet. I am so appreciative that Mattel produces African American version of most of their Barbie dolls. It's so important that our little African American girls have doll that they can identify with also.

Very pretty Barbie who is now naked like all of the other Barbies in our house. I'm not sure what else I can say after a statement like that, but she was a welcomed gift for our 5 year old this Christmas!
