I think she is just adorable! I like the new look of Strawberry Shortcake and this is a nice doll for any young girl. I reccomend it.

My three year old absolutely loves these dolls. She has all three and they sleep with her every night. Problem is, within a week their hair was nasty and matted. No amount of brushing would fix it-it would just get matted again. It's like they used the cheapest hair they could find when making these dolls. Would definently not buy again. Makes me wonder about the other dolls

I purchased this doll as a Christmas gift for my then 3 year old daughter. When she opened the packaged she was disapointed! She did not like the way this Strawberry looked. Once we got her out of the package her opinion did not change. This doll is very awkward. Her big plastic head weighs 10x what the rest of her skinny flimsy body weighs and her hair is a matted mess. My daughter never played with this doll and it ended up in the Goodwill box less than a year later. Even at [..], it was not worth buying. Save your money and get a better quality Strawberry doll.

My daughter loves Strawberry Shortcake, so when this was on sale I snatched this up. I paid $5.00 or so for it on Amazon, not sure if that was a mistake or what, but that was a STEAL! It is a beautiful doll that I'm saving for Christmas.

Who is this doll supposed to be? I know it can't be Strawberry Shortcake since it doesn't look a thing like her! Strawberry Shortcake and her friends were extremely popular when I was growing up in the 80's. I was delighted to witness the Strawberry Shortcake comeback in 2002 when Bandai began producing an updated version of the dolls. The newer Bandai dolls certainly had a different look than the Kenner originals but they seemed true to the spirit of Strawberry Shortcake. They were still cute, wholesome looking toys that seemed a perfect fit for a new generation of Strawberry enthusiasts. My four year old daughter became a huge fan. She loves to play with her "Strawberries". Sadly, Bandai lost the contract to produce the Strawberry Shortcake toys and beginning in 2006 Playmates released a new line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls and products including this one. I was hopeful that these new dolls might be easier to come by than the Bandai dolls had been. I thought maybe they would release another line of dolls in their traditional outfits such as they appear in the Strawberry Shortcake books, dvds, and numerous products. I knew there would have to be some changes made but I NEVER expected this! I think the playmates dolls look completely ridiculous. I can't figure out how they plan to pull this one off. I can't see these toys flying off the shelves the way the Bandai products did. Can little girls and their mommies really accept this mutant Strawberry? I don't think so. Oh how I wish they would bring back the Bandai version.
