A Kid's Review

This review is from: Barbie Fairytopia Mermaidia Elina Doll (Toy)

I love this doll! The wings are enormous, and she's much prettier then the old Elina. The wings are made of fabric, and let me warn you not to leave her as a mermaid to long or when you make her a fairy again her wings will look a bit crumply. Also, when in mermaid stage, her body does not bend. Don't force her to bend or she could brake. She's still fun even if she doesn't bend when a mermaid. And I advise that if you don't have room to store about 1 foot of space for this doll not to get it.

This review is from: Barbie Fairytopia Mermaidia Elina Doll (Toy)

Elina is the best fairy/Mermaid ever!! I love to play with her, and after I watched movie, I played with her more! After like, 2-3 months of owning her, i finally found out how to solve the crumpled wings problem! First, stretch the wings a little with your hands, then, put her in the bath tub. The thing is to wet her wings, then dry her off somewhere she's gna dangle in mid-air, which means her wings dosen't touch the ground or any thing. Well, I love Elina!! She's VeRy pretty in person! Although she does have alot more make-up then in the movie, and she has 'real' eyelashes!! Her hair has glitter strips with it, and she dosen't wear shoes, but she does has pretty patterns aroun her legs!! Oh, and another thing: She BIG! The wings look big when they are out, and when she's a mermaid, she's VERY tall with her mermaid tail. Well, Hope this Helps!

This review is from: Barbie Fairytopia Mermaidia Elina Doll (Toy)

I purchased this toy for my 5-year-old daughter. The wings were much larger than I anticipated, and my daughter mentioned it right away, but she doesn't seem to mind at all. I told her that all people come in different shapes and sizes, and that Elina just has large wings--that makes her special! She never mentioned it again, and my daughter has played with this toy nonstop for several days now. The wings fold down into a tail (if it gently "clicks," it's locked into place properly), and then the mermaid tail piece slips on over the wings. Pulling the elastic skirt down covers up the gap between Elina's hips and the mermaid piece so that it looks more seamless. When the mermaid tail is removed, a button on Elina's necklace makes the wings spring open again. My daughter has had great fun "surprising" me with this conversion over and over again, giggling as she makes the wings suddenly spring up. Overall, I think it's a fun and durable toy--my daughter has not seen the movie and still loves this doll.
