This review is from: Disney Princess Bath Beauty Ariel Doll (Toy)

I purchased this doll after reading the various reviews on Amazon. I was looking for a bath specific Ariel doll for my daughter. It is a great doll. She has the temperature sensitive decals on her tail and abdomen, plus a temp sensitive streak in her hair. When the doll hits warm water, the decals disappear and the purple streak in her hair turns to blue.

Some complained that the decals will only reappear in "ice water". That's simply not the case. I've had the decals appear on their own when the doll wasn't used for a bit of time, or my daughter just sets the faucet on the coldest setting and runs the doll under it. So I really have no complaints on the decals.

However, I do have a complaint about the doll. The hair. I find that she is losing strands of hair. Now, it's not like the doll is going bald or there are bald spots, it's just that strands are loose. What happens? They either end up in the bathwater or, what happens most of the time, Ariel gets a rat's nest in her hair at a longer point than the rest of her hair. I've given her 2 trims to eliminate these "nests". Also, I find that the hair mats or sticks together a little bit when you bring the doll out of the bath water. So I would have preferred that the manufacturer use a different material for the hair.

But overall, I think it is a good product for bathtime.

My daughter has become a big Ariel fan here lately and so when we saw this toy in the store, we thought it would be fun. I must say, my daughter does love the toy, but the color change decals haven't worked since we brought it home. Unless my daughter plays in the freezer, it's unlikely she'll ever be able to see the decals (which are minimal anyway) because the only way they even start to show up is if you stick Ariel in the freezer. I recommend this toy for fun in the bath, but if you're particulary excited about the color change feature - forget it.

In order to get the decals on her tail and body to show up I had to put her in the freezer... it said warm or icy water but no kid takes an icy bath.. However she loves ariel soo much that even though the decals didn't show up she still loves her and wants to keep her... A little disappointing but at least she's happy and we can throw her in the freezer anytime.
