My young daughter loves this mermaid barbie and plays with it every night during bathtime. The barbie's hair and tattoos change with temperature and her 'tail' can convert to a hooded jacket/outfit. We have fortunately not encountered any defects. We are in the process of trying to get all the mermaids for bathtime.

This review is from: Barbie In a Mermaid Tale Merliah Doll (Toy)

I got this toy after receiving some money for my birthday. I loved this toy, and I figured out how to solve her certain 'defects', which I'll go into more detail about presently. But I would highly recommend this particular Barbie. BTW, her dolphin's name is Zuma (pronounced ZOO-muh). Anyway, one of the defects was that her hair wouldn't fit into the hoodie. I solved this by simply making her hair into a little loop at the bottom and pushing it in. Another defect was that her hair, tattoos, and toenails wouldn't change color. However, I accidentally left her out wet overnight. Overnight, the water cooled, and when I went into the bathroom, TA-DA! Her hair was pink and her tattoos were purple. Apparently, it had to be COLD water.:) Oops! Her toenails had dried overnight, so they stayed the same color, but I presume they're functional too. Lastly, the hoodie didn't fasten because of a little yellow piece of cloth over one of the Velcros, so I took that off. Those are the only defects I've encountered so far, and she (Merliah) ROCKS! Seeya! '_' :)
P.S. BTW= by the way

This Barbie is beautiful! I haven't had any issues at all with her. My daughter has been playing with her non stop since yesterday. The hair is sleek and beautifully soft. Her tail is cool and it's even cooler that it turns into an outfit easily. This Barbie is a must have for any Barbie loving child.
