2.0 out of 5 stars Not a quality toy, October 8, 2006

My daughter received these today for her birthday. The only support to hold the dolls up is a little tiny clip that the dolls leg snaps into and ones of ours has already broke. The dolls limbs are so loose that they don't stand up straight. The dolls will not stand up to dance around. They should have called this toy "12 Falling Princesses". What a total disappointment for little girls. Don't they test these toys before they market them? Don't waste your money unless you only want the dolls.

4.0 out of 5 stars We like them ..., December 8, 2006

This review is from: Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses: Princess Isla and Princess Hadley (Toy)

I bought these for my girls, since the 12 Dancing Princesses is their current favorite movie, and amazon had them for 70% off with the free shipping deal. My girls are just 2 and 3, and they've had no problems using the stands. I automaticly threw away the little plastic stand things, and the dolls seem to do just fine with standing with only one foot snapped into the base. And that's with my 3 year old doing it. We aren't picky though.

I was supprised at first, because their hair is very crunchy - it almost felt like they used super glue for styling, but now that the dolls have been played with for a couple weeks, they have softened out. It is actually nice, because their hair hasn't gotten horribly tangled like most the barbies we buy - they still have curly ringlets. I appreciated that the shoes did NOT come off - it's perfect for my younger girls, but might frusterate an older child, since they always need new dancing shoes in the movie.

Also, these are the twins, so they are smaller than a normal barbie. Their arms can be shaped into ballet possitions, and my daughter has been using them as dancing dolls to hold when she practices her ballet. Their outfits come off, but unlike most barbies, my girls havn't had much interest in undressing them ... they like the ballerina outfits too much.

I would reccomend them at the 70% off price Amazon had them for, but I don't know if I would have bought them at the full price. I'm glad we have them, and for the deal we got, we're happy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad product design, November 11, 2006

My daughter also received this as a 4th birthday gift. It is a terrible design. The dolls flop over and do not snap into the stand. I thought they were battery operated, but you are suppose to make them dance by pushing them across the floor. However, they don't really twirl around like they are suppose to. I can't believe they can sell such poorly designed toys.
