It has become so easy to get my daughter to hop into the tub since I got her this Magical Mermaid Barbie doll. We used to use Dora to bribe her in, but now all my wife and I have to do is ask our daughter if she wants to take a bath with Barbie.

Other reviewers have had trouble with the tail coming off, but we never had that trouble. Considering how rough my daughter can be, this doll has held up very well

It's a good buy if you're looking for a fun bathtime toy for your child.

I have 2 granddaughter's ages 7 and 8 so am becoming very familier with Barbie's. When I saw these Mermaid dolls I purchased 2 of them and am glad I did. The girls really love these dolls and have quite a collection of them here. These Mermaid dolls invited several hours of play in the bathroom sink and later in the tub. There's something about dolls with a theme that inspire the imagination in young girls. I was worried that the water would ruin the hair and outfits but they seemed to have survived just fine so they're well worth the money. Glad I bought them.

I too returned the first one thinking it was a faulty tail. But then I read the instructions and it actually tells you to snap it in place. Now it is fine. the tops fall off quite often, but only because my daughter is constantly carrying all three mermaid in her arms and they get knocked off. This is by far the greatest group of Barbies in my daughter's 4 year old eyes. She adores them.

What fun bath time is for my 3 and a half year old (and me too!)How I wish they had a mermaid Barbie when I was young. We did have trouble with the tail falling off. I knew about this problem since my daughter has 3 other mermaids. Do yourself a favor and pick up a tube of the GEL CRAZY GLUE. A little dab will do you just fine. These Barbies have been in the tub so many times with no problem as of yet. It's such an easy solution to a not so big problem. Enjoy this beauty with your little one!

i bought two of these for my 3 1/2 year old. she's been bending the tail around, slapping things with it and i have yet to have the tail fall off on either doll. you merely push the fin into the tail until it clicks. if your fins keep falling off, super glue is marvelous at keeping rubber together, i guarantee this will solve any wayward tails. the top does fall off, you might as well glue that on too unless your girl likes her mermaid topless. the hair comes out in bunches when brushed. but overall this is such a nice doll, so unique in the fact that she has a real tail and not legs under some costume. they are very beautiful and sweet. its only ten bucks, very worth the money.

This toy is no longer being sold, probably because of the quality issues so many have had. I hope they are fixing the problem and will re-issue the toy. We have had the pink one for a year and the blue one for several months. The tails of neither have ever fallen off. And after a year of bathtub and swimming pool play, the pink one has only now developed a tiny tear in the rubber fin. This toy is beautful and really encourages a lot of imaginative play.

The only downside is that it started us on the slippery slope of Fairytopia collecting! They are all beautiful and fun for my daughter.

I love this barbie! her tail was confusing at first but you have to push it in really hard to make it stay on,it will be a small poping noise,that means its in place and will stay on the doll.
i want to collect a 3!

My 5-yr-old daughter had the same problem with the tail falling off. Ours didn't have the pegs shown in the directions. I got out the clear packing tape and taped the tail to the base and it seems to hold up well now. She wanted this for a while and didn't want me to return it.

This doll is the most beautiful ever!!

The tail & bra top have beautiful jewels and she has beautiful long hair with streaks of purple!

There are limited of these so they are really hard to find & are worth more $ now.

This doll is a MUST for everyone!!

Magical Mermaid Barbie is great for lots of things. When she's in the water her pretty hair and purple streaks are very pretty and they go all over the place. She has a very pretty comb and mirror. She has a pretty bra that has a sparkly pink jewel in the middle. She has shiny pink jewels on her flipper and fin.She comes with an irresistable story that every girl will love. If I could I would give this doll one thousand stars!!!!!
