I bought this Barbie for my 5 year old to play with in our swimming pool, however, when I purchased it I did not read closely that in order for the Barbie to change color, she must be immersed in cold water (i.e. water with ice). When she is dry or in room temperature water, she wears a pink bikini and her dive equipment is also pink. When immersed in ice water, her bikini changes to a blue one piece swimsuit and her equipment turns blue. Included are two dolphins which also have color changing flowers stamped on them. My daughter enjoys playing with the doll and dolphins in the pool, but in order for the doll to color change, we must have a bucket of ice water nearby. If the doll changed colors when immersed in any temperature water, it would be more useful for play in the pool or bathtub.

i have my old one that's unopened since i was like what? 10yrs old? i'm glad i never opened her for i had no idea how much she's worth! i was given two within the same year and actually taught my nieces how to swim with her and they've kept my opened one all these years. my daughter wants to open her but NEVER! im happy i kept my collection! should start your kids on them too!

My daughter received this doll as a Christmas gift. It was her first barbie. She was wearing a purple one piece suit and a vest. The vest got lost of course immediately. She couldn't wait to put the doll in the tub and see the color change. WOW! When she hit the water her clothes melted! The one piece suit changed to a pink bikini. It was very dramatic and my daughter spent several minutes looking for the rest of her clothes thinking they had washed off and were in the water. I call her stripper barbie or hoochie mama barbie. I think this toy is uncalled for! I think that billing this as a "color change" is very misleading - her clothes DISAPPEAR! I'm not impressed.

This has a lot of fun accessories. But clearly it is the two dolphins that my daughter likes to use the most with the doll. The color change on this is quite dramatic - she goes from a one piece purple bathingsuit to a 2 piece bikini. The dolphins themselves also change color once they are in water.

To color change them, she'll be in hot bathwater and then just run some cold water from the faucet. They color change quite easily and dramatically.

In all, we really like this set. It makes bath time a bit more fun when Barbie has some friends to swim with in the bathtub. Best of all - no clothes to lose.

My daughter had this doll for about a month. [...] Well, long story short, it was a nice chew toy for the dog. Now we need a new one. [...]

Nice Barbie doll with cute accessories. My daughter loves to take it to the bath and see the suit change colors.
