I am a teenage girl collecting barbie dolls, and occasionally I play with them. I recently added this doll to my collection. I really love her, since she's gorgeous and the glitter doesn't come off (which is often a problem with glitter toys).

However, if your child is between the ages of 3 and 10, this might not be the right purchase for them. As a 'mature' collector I am always very careful with my dolls, but I'm sure you know that children often aren't. Since the wings are very fragile and will easily break, they're not really fit for children to play with.

I think that overall it's a wonderful doll, but children will need to be careful with it and that's not always an easy task while playing.

My 3 yr. old saw these on t.v. and went nuts. She really wanted the blue one, which I have not been able to find anywhere, but she settled on the purple one instead. She loves it! It really prompts her to use her imagination. She uses it to play with her other fairy tale barbies, but she also use it with other toys because it's so versatile. I mean, you can use a fairy in any scenario! Anyway, bottom line is, it's been a lot of fun for her.

This doll caught my eye the moment I saw it at the store. After all, you don't see many dolls with purple skin and hair. There's glitter all over her skin and her "top" is made of glitter. She's simply enchanting. A wonderful doll at a great price!

My three year old daughter won't put these sparkle fairies down (she has purple and pink). The wings actually move and there are really no clothes to lose (only the skirt and shoes come off, the top is "sparkeled on"). They are different and you can tell your child fairy stories to go with them.

When I first saw Barbie Fairytopia Sparkle Fairy Barbie I must admit I thought she was quite pretty. I still think this Barbie is beautiful. She is a lavender color and her entire body glitters with sparkles. Her body is a light lavender color topped off with a darker shade of lavender for her hair. She has gorgeous little fairy wings that jut out her back. The wings are white with dark lavender swirl designs on them. Sparkle Barbie has a lavender strapless half shirt that is painted onto her body(with glitter all over it). She is also wearing an "extremely" short lavender skirt with a white train that attaches in the back. She also has a lavender flower belt, and she is topped off with, yep you guessed it, lavender slippers. Even her lipstick is "lavender". Like I said, she really is a beautiful Barbie and probably the prettiest one that I have seen in the Fairytopia collection so far.

The wings are attached by sticking them into little holes in the back of Sparkle Fairy Barbie's back. There is also a little button that you can push to make the wings flap. The skirt, train, and slippers can be removed if you must (and of course, my daughter MUST undress every Barbie that she receives).

Don't let Sparkle Barbie's good looks fool you. She is a pain! I didn't think that anything could be quite as bad as the Fairytopia Mermaid, but Mermaid has met her match! Of course Haleigh loves her and she especially loves the wings. Mommy does NOT love the wings at all. They fall off all the time and I was constantly having to put them back on over and over again. It brought back nightmares of the fin that would never stay put. Haleigh understood that I was getting frustrated so she tried to attach the wings back itself. One wing broke in half and the spoke was stuck in Sparkle Barbie's back. I then heard screams and cries for days on end about how Barbie is now broken. When the wings were actually intact, it was impossible for my daughter to make the wings flap. Even when my husband or I flapped the wings for her, they only half way flapped and consistently got stuck.

Second, the glitter that is supposed to stay on Barbie and no one else simply does not stay put. Sparkle Barbie has shed glitter everywhere. If anyone has had experience with glitter, then you know it's not the easiest thing to clean up being so small. There was not a large amount of glitter shed, but enough for me to really dislike this Barbie.

The only good things that I can say about Barbie Fairytopia Lavender Sparkle Fairy Barbie is that the rest of her body is pretty durable. Even though she sheds glitter, the painted on shirt has not faded and her arms and legs are still in working order.

this is the best barbie doll I have she has wings a sparkled body and a beutiful skirt! when she flies in the air she looks soooooooooooooooo magical.

This Barbie is so pretty. Just look at the sparkles and the purple/violet hair.i love this doll.you will too.

She's a very pretty doll that I gave to a 6 year old; she loves it. I don't know how she's holding up ... but her glittery skin is really pretty.

I'm a barbie doll colector and when i saw this barbie i was so mezmerised. I couldn't decide which fairy to buy till i bough this one it's so Beautiful. i loved it

My sister,Lene, recieved this doll for her 6th birthday and she liked it very much. She played with it alot but the doll soon lost all her sparkles, and the wing's fabric somehow separated. She was very sad but moved on, however now we got addicted to collecting Fairytopia dolls. I'm 16 and I collect lots of things especially Japanese imported anime things but I also collect cool-looking differen't dolls. I really like the fairytopia dolls not so much the one's based on the movie like the Elina and Jewelia ones but I like the Early ones. I have the blue and Lavender Sparkle fairies and the Pink and Aqua mermaids. I usually buy 2 of each one for my sis and one to add to my collection. I think this fairy looks very different and nice it's great for collectors but I'm not sure for little girls. It adds beauty to my collection but it doesn't do too well as a play-toy.
