My sweety Pie wanted a Mermaid Princess cake for her B-day Party. She already had another mermaid dolly, so my husband and I thought we would surprise her by getting her another one she could play with in the water, and this one is really nice. She likes how it glows in the dark and in the water. It's pretty. It's nice as a present, as for the cake...she really looked good in it :)

My 4 year old is a big Ariel fan and was so excited to be able to take Ariel in the bathtub with her. We were able to fit the fin in just fine and it has stayed on, however the light-up feature only worked for 2 baths before it quit. Now it will work for a few seconds occasionally and that is it. The tail section fills up with water but there is a hole so I suppose it is meant to do that. If water is shorting out the light then it is a pretty poorly designed bathtoy. I gave it 3 stars because my daughter loves to take her in the bath and her hair does not get as gross as say a Barbie dolls would in the tub. But a main feature of the doll does not work which is pretty disappointing.

We didn't have any problems with the tail section coming off - ours snapped into place during assembly and stayed there. However, the tail itself is made of a really thin vinyl and easily tore off. It would have been nice if the tail were constructed out of sturdier materials.

So my god-daughter was wanting a swimming ariel barbie doll. I saw this on amazon and just ordered it, not thinking much of it. When it arrived, I noticed a button on her belly-botton and her whole tail lights up. My god-daughter loved it. Its safe for the bath and it is her new favorite barbie.

My granddaughter had specifically asked for this doll. The problem is the tail will not stay on. It is very poorly constructed. The tail is supposed to screw on but the tail will not stay attached. There seems to be no point to having made it a seperate part as it lights up without it and you could have turned it with the tail permanently attached. What a disappointment.

My daughter got this in her Easter basket after pointing it out for months at the store. Had I known it would only hold up for a few weeks I would have passed. She loved playing with it and then...the tail stopped staying on. It comes on and off (not really sure why) and after awhile it just loosens to the point it won't stay on. I'm debating gluing it on so she can play with it again. Save your money!

I bought this toy for my 2 year-old but after reading the reviews, I was unsure about the tail. I was able to open the box and put the tail on without taking the doll out and the tail snapped right on and stayed put. Just fyi for those who might of had defective dolls. I believe it's meant to snap in. We haven't given this to our daughter yet so I can't make any further comments but at least the tail does stay on, for what it's worth to readers.

My daughter got this for Christmas and as one of the reviewers said, I also had trouble with the tail falling off, but it seems to be ok now. It's only been in the bath a couple times, and the light feature still works. My daughter adores Ariel and she likes playing with as like any other barbie princess she has, which means it's all day toy, not just for the bath. I'd get this for your Ariel fan.

My daughter wanted this toy so badly for Christmas so we bought it for her. When we opened it and put on the tail, it fell right off. I thought it must need to be pushed in harder so we tried pushing it in harder and examined it carefully to see if there was a special trick we were missing. Nope, the tail just will not stay on. My daughter still plays with it, but it is a bummer to have a brand-new toy that was broken before she played with it.

my 3 year old loves anything disney and anything that lights up. she enjoys playing with it in and out of the water. very pretty doll and cheaper here then in toy stores. best ariel doll you can pick out of the many that are out there.
