5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 yr old loved this, October 17, 2003

This review is from: Barbie and Krissy Princess Palace Playset (Toy)

We purchased this toy because like most little girls my duaghter loves Barbie and anything princess. She has played with it everyday,it's become one of her favorite toys. I found the key to open the castle is a little difficult at first for her to work and the knob on the back to start the lullaby music feels loose. This hasn't stopped her enjoyment of the toy though. The crowns on Barbie and Chrissy are sewn on with black thread, the one on Barbie came off the day we opened it.

Overall this is a good buy and has brought hours of fun for my daughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beware of glitter!, December 14, 2003

My 3 year old daughter received this set as a gift, and it is her first Barbie. She absolutely adores both dolls and plays with them every day. I was somewhat shocked at how much glitter could possibly be on one small toy such as this. The glitter gets on everything! It was a good two weeks before we stopped having glitter sightings. The company really should revise this issue, and use glitter that doesn't fall off. Anyway, take the doll outside and give it a good shaking to lessen this problem. One other thing, the hair on both dolls is dissappointingly cheap and hard to manage. If the hair comes out from underneath the crown, there's no way of combing it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Barbie set we've seen!, January 22, 2004

My daughter got this set for Christmas. She loves Barbie, and this set..but, from Mom's point, it's far from the best Barbie set we've used.

First off, at least in our set, the mobile WILL NOT ATTACH. The post is too short, so it won't fit through the hole on the crib/stroller. Not a big deal, but more than a bit aggravating and kind of disappointing. And since that was the first thing I did to assemble this, it may've just started me off "in a mood".

Secondly..I found the batteries very hard to put in. I didn't see anything saying a jewelers screwdriver was necessary...but even my small screwdriver was still too big. The music (which is VERY loud, I might add) kept going off while I was trying to install the batteries, but the compartment was very difficult to screw down, and it stripped the screw before it actually closed!

Lastly, I don't think the crib rocks as well as it could. It seems jerky..hardly what I would do when trying to rock a baby to sleep! :o) So if you're expecting a smooth rocking motion, don't be surprised if you don't get it.

Overall, it is a cute playset, and it is enjoyed by my daughter, and likely will be by your child as well. Let's just say I wouldn't take it back.
But, as a parent that tries to read many reviews before buying a toy, just to get mom and dad's point of view on toys I will possibly be spending my money on, I just wanted to let everyone know the (however small) aggravation you COULD run into! Good luck, and you can always hope we just got a "lemon set"!
