My daughter received the Barbie Walkie Talkies for Christmas. I was dissappointed with them; however, my daughter thinks they are great(so far). There are only two prerecorded messages, so the manufacturers review as well as Amazon's are misleading. The "send" button: "Hi, this is Barbie",and the "end" button: "Goodbye". There is constant static and even with the volume switch turned up as high as it will go, the speaker has to be just inches away from your ear to hear well. The Educational Value...Kids should learn to be patient and courtious while talking and listening (not talking over someone while the other person in talking).

i truly agree with what the other people are saying about this toy because when i was about 8 years old, we went and bought these walkie talkies. the first tme i put some fresh batteries that had never been used and my brother and i tested them out. they would not even work from the distance from my room to his room and that is not even two miles. i was really upset because i was really excited about getting this toy. so we went back to where we had purchased it from and we bought another one. when i got home, that one didn't work either. i think that people shouldn't put out toys that they know don't work because they don't care bout you and the toy, i feel that they only care bout the money. that is when i decided that i was never ever gonna buy anymore barbie products. only the barbie shop with me cash register.

I bought these for my granddaughter for Christmas. They did not operate well so we installed new batteries and they didn't work any better. I now have to buy another set for more money, which is probably what I should have done in the first place.

They were a dissapointment as they were not really walkie-talkies as you couldn't really communicate with them. The volume control only adjusted the loudness of the static on each unit. But, for [the price] we shouldn't have expected much.

There were a couple of pre-recorded Barbie messages on each one which was fun for about 5 seconds. Our five-year old daughter requested we return them so she could pick something else out. She had never before requested to return any Barbie product.

My daughters also received the Barbie Walkie Talkies for their birthday, and I must agree that they were a waste of money. They do not work. I would like to know if Barbie backs their products and will give us a refund if brought back to the store.

Don't buy this item! All you hear is static and you litterally have to yell into it to hear. Huge dissapointment!

I got the Barbie Walkie Talkies for Christmas from my Granny. They don't work. I was very excited, but they are bad. Lots of static (that's what Mom says). I couldn't hear my best friend unless she was in the same room as me.

We got these for our daughter for Christmas and were very dissapointed in them. Voices are hard to hear and turning up the volume just turns up the static! Also the buttons that make Barbie talk get bumped if stored in a toy box and wear out the batteries even faster, not to mention how anoying it sounds! I had better walkie talkies when I was a kids! I suggest spending the extra money and getting the Motorola or other brand family radios.

My daughters could not have been more disappointed with this product. Even with a pair of new batteries they could not communicate from one room to the next. Mattel management should be ashamed!

I'll be brief and echo everyone else's sentiments. This toy is a waste of plastic! I did get the number to complain to Mattel so maybe they can help. I haven't called yet but it couldn't hurt! Mattel 1-800-524-toys
