Anything Dora in our house is a hit and this is no exception. My two girls love the Dora Saves the Mermaid DVD and this doll looks like the character in the movie which is fun for them. Not sure about the issue with the sound or movement per the other review, perhaps it was a battery issue? Sound and movement work great for us. My youngest loves the stories Dora tells. I would recommend this toy.

We purchased this doll for our grand daughter's birthday. It worked twice then quit. What a dissapointment to our grand daughter. She was broken hearted. All the other Dora Items we have purchased seem to be ok but this one just didn't work. Nothing about it worked. The talking did not work either. It should be taken off the market., I have heard the same thing happend to others that have purchased this toy.

Terrible waste of money! My four year old was so dissapointed when she finally got this for her birthday. It does talk and move and sing but the skirt does not retract fully. Instead of turning around it gets stuck and goes back and forth over and over and the skirt doesn't fully retract. Because this a mermaid doll she was expecting to bath with it. She couldn't understand that this mermaid doesn't go into the water. Very large and chunky. I figured it being a "SPARKLE" Dora the base or something would light up or be sparkly but there are no sparkles except on the malfunctioning skirt. Big dull dud. Don't waste you money.

My daughter saw this in the store and wanted it for Christmas. I was disappointed when I read the reviews because I wanted to buy it for her but didn't want her to get upset when she starts playing with it. But I bought it anyway and thought that if it won't work, I can always return it. When we tried to set it up, it wasn't working at first. But then, I saw a tab at the back of Dora, just below her neck. When I took it out, the toy works the way it should be. My daughter loves this toy and I'm so glad I bought it for her!

I agree with the other reviewers who described the doll as chunky and not that much fun except when on the spinner. We got it for our grand-daughter for her third birthday, along with the mermaid video. She absolutely loves it. I was disappointed that the doll doesn't bend her legs, because we also got the sea-horse carriage to go with it. After the birday party we went to our local discount store and several of the other items in the mermaid line were on sale, so we got Mariana, whose legs bend. Since everything we got from Amazon and the discount store was on sale I feel the cost was reasonable. Now our grand-daughter wants one of each of the dolls in the line! I told her they were all just Dora with different dresses and hair. I asked her what she would do with all those Dora dolls; she immediately piped up, "Play with them!" She is so cute I'll probably get all of them for her!

thank goodness we got this product on sale from amazon; like other reviewers our dora twirled flawlessly a few times before her skirt got stuck and did not work properly anymore; my daughter still likes to play with it and in the end that's all that matters to us; not worth the retail price but ok if you get it on sale

I was rather worried about the quality of this product after the low ratings others have given it, but our doll has worked well. Her tail fully retracts and hasn't gotten stuck at all.

Something that I didn't realize is that some other Dora dolls(rainbow, coral, starshine, etc.) will tell stories when put in the base that comes with Mermaid Dora.

A really cute toy that did not break upon opening! We've had it for a while now and is still in good shape.

This toy does not work as promised, gets stuck while turning and doesn't properly turn into a mermaid or back to Dora. I am glad I got it for less than half price. My daughter did enjoy it for a while, but she didn't even notice when Dora, uh, went to the farm (was donated to another "lucky" child).

I bought this for my 4yr old for Christmas and it lasted all of 2days before it broke and stopped working. I had a very disappointed child on my hands.
