4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely Detailed Mermaid Barbie, March 6, 2011

The purple Mermaid Barbie is quite lovely - she has a lot of details in her tail and just enough glitter everywhere to look 'magical'. Her hair changes from purple to pink in HOT water. Then back to purple with cold water. In comparison to the other two Barbies mermaids, she has the lightest skin color (the orange mermaid is the most tan).

One of the features I like with this particular series of dolls is that she has a rubber molded area at the top of the fin (at the waist). So when you bend her to sit, you don't see any seams or underwear as with the other Barbies. It's a smart design and really helps keep the illusion. However, the rest of the tail is hard plastic. I must preferred the soft bendable plastic of previous, more expensive Barbie Mermaids.

She is one in a series of 3 that all have the same exact details, face, etc. Only the hair color and the color on the tails/bikini top changes.

The Barbie is beautiful but the hair never changes color in water. Very dissapointed. If I had known that, I would have bought one of the other Barbies ...
