Editorial Review

Starlight Fairy Barbie lights up the night sky with her magic star wand. Dressed in a sparkly halter-top with matching skirt that adjusts from short to long or can be replaced with a filmy blue tutu, Starlight Fairy shimmers. Her long, blue-streaked, platinum blonde hair is pulled back in a ponytail and topped with a pearly white tiara. Around her waist is a belt with blue stars that spins and lights up when you press a button on the back of her leg. The spinning star belt is at its best in a dark room, where it does indeed look pretty nifty. When she's wearing her long skirt, it's best to hold the skirt down or the belt won't spin, and we noticed that our hands and clothing were covered in sparkles when we were done playing. This is a beautiful Barbie, but the slightly temperamental lights and the fact that you can't remove the belt make us wonder how long a child will play with this doll after the novelty has worn off. Requires two AAA batteries (not included). --M. Sullivan

She thinks it's great, but I think it's just okay. If the clothes get in the way of the Barbie's middle it doesn't work and then you have to re-adjust the clothes which happens quite often. I'm already tired of fixing it for my daughter and she only has this Barbie for 3 days. But I guess it's worth it, just to see her face when she plays with it.

I bought this Barbie for my daughter for Christmas 2001 amongst too many other things. But, this Barbie is the one that she keeps on playing with, especially in the evening when she really glows! I have to admit I really like her too! It didn't take my 5 year old long to figure out how to keep her arms raised to get the lights twirling. And, her matching blue dress also glows in the dark with the lights. Beautiful! And, lots of OOOOs and AAAHHHHHs from my daughter. All the reviews that complain about the twisting of the skirt and difficult to get the lights to twirl I'm puzzled over. We have no major trouble, and the light effect is so girly and sparkely. Also, she is a real pretty Barbie with her matching blue accents. Do not buy this Barbie though if you intend to undress her and turn her into something she is not. It would be difficult to get different clothes on her due to the light "skirt". Also, I bought her with a Barbie light-up unicorn (shown online here as a sort of matching set). Cute set, but this Barbie is hard to get to sit on the unicorn due to the light "skirt". Buy her for the light effect only! It is really worth it!

My 3 year old daughter begged for this for Christmas. I was hesitant to buy it because I thought it would sit around like all the other Barbies my daughters have, but I bought it anyway because she wanted it so badly. She was so excited to receive it Christmas day and played with it immediately. The skirt does get stuck sometimes causing the lights not to twirl around. This is more of a frustration for me because I have to fix it. My daughter doesn't seem to mind this. She has brought it in to her preschool several times and the other kids all want to play with it. When she brought it into her her sister's Kindergarten class the kids were fighting with each other to determine who could have the next turn (even the boys). All in all it was a worthwhile purchase.
