This is one of 3 'Destinies' from the movie "A Mermaid Tale". Of the three, this wasn't the head Destiny and was more of a supporting character. If you are trying to decide on which Destiny to buy, I would recommend the Pink one (in the jeans) over the purple and blue ones. The pink Destiny most resembles the movie character and had the most lines in the movie. The blue and purple ones did not do much at all in the movie - or as a doll.

These are smaller than a Barbie doll (even though the Destinies were full Barbie size in the movie) and made of hard plastic. They don't move at all and aren't posable. The sea horses come with a little stand on their back and the Destiny doll clips into it loosely. Which can be problematic - they aren't very useful out of the water since they don't stand at all and certainly they don't float right in the water.

Since this purple Destiny doesn't resemble the character in the movie, isn't posable, doesn't sit right, falls out of the 'saddle' easily, and doesn't allow for you to change her clothes, I don't rate this highly. If your daughter really wants the Destinies, I would get the pink one only and be done with it.

This is a very cute and well-made little toy. My daughter is so into mermaids right now, and she plays with this and her Ariel dress-up toy every single day. It attaches nicely to the seahorse, and the colors are beautiful. Great for imaginative play.
