3.0 out of 5 stars Really cute, but could have been SO much better, February 10, 2006

This review is from: Cabbage Patch Kids Mini Dolls - Interactive Concert Stage for Pop Star Girls (Toy)

I'll be honest--even I, a 40something dad, think this is pretty neat, at least in concept. As you add each girl to the stage (after purchasing them separately, of course), the stage, if set properly, recognizes each one's instrument and adds the appropriate accompaniment. Lights flash, music plays, and the crowd goes wild. At least for a few minutes. But that's where the fun ends, really.

Problem is, the dolls have to be fitted with special shoes and then fit just so into the appropriate spaces for them in the stage, and the shoes--slippers, really--don't fit very well. So, one bump of a doll and she falls down, knocking any dolls and/or instruments near her down, too. The rear of the stage is similarly rickety, and it falls apart quite easily, rendering the lights useless.

Besides that, the stage only plays two very short songs, both of which even my young daughter tired of quickly. You can connect a cable and play your own music, but we've not tried it yet. And the music this thing plays is L-O-U-D! My son's room is at the other end of the house, and he can hear the music with his door closed when it's playing. And, it's horribly distorted, so try as she (and I, in helping her) might, my daughter cannot decipher the words to the songs.

In sum, nice effort, and more creative than your average toy. But once you've sunk in the cost of the stage and enough dolls to populate it, you're expecting more. A little more effort, and the manufacturers could have delivered. Too bad--and maybe that's partially why there were mountains of them at the closing sale at our local Toys R Us.

This toy is too hard for little ones to figure out, even with adult supervision. The dolls do not stand in their special stage shoes, they tip easily and knock over their instruments. The stage in small and even little hands have a hard time playing in such a small space. My daughter is 6 and was disappointed.
