She's big folks. Don't underestimate the 34" height listed for this doll. We are talking Dora with the big head. I can't speak on play value yet, she's in a closet until Christmas. She is for my five year old, but I'm a little concerned she's going to take out my two year old if she falls on him. She is the biggest play doll I've ever seen. And loud. Why do they not make a volume switch on these toys. I know "hola I'm dora" is going to be my alarm clock for some weeks after Christmas. Overall though I'm impressed with her. She appears very sturdy. My five year old can play dress up with Doras clothes with plenty of room for growth. I've been saying for years Doras a member of the family, now she actually takes up space. Good buy for Dora fan.

Ya can't find these in stores so ya better order online! This is by far the lowest price and fastest shipping. Your little girl will be the envy of all her friends. This is a toddler size playmate that not only educates but makes a great little girlfriend ( her hair is so much fun to play with) . Made to be quite durable and stable.

Great life-like, educational doll, but the super-size head could be intimidating for the smaller toddler. I worry about the doll toppling over and possibly causing injury. My recommended age would be 5+.

we bought this for our daughter who just turned 3 nov 14 , and when they say big she is large she is bigger then our daughter her head is very large. but Avery loves her to death. I must say you have to watch Dora with your kids she might hurt if she falls on them ...

I bought three of the Dora Friendship Adventure Doll for Christmas 2007. I have twin girls 4 and a 3 year old girl. The only reason I bought these dolls was because it was on sale for $39.99 from amazon and also I thought my three girls would really be excited to have it. However the were excited for the first 5 minutes and after that they never play with the doll again. The doll is too heavy. The head is extremely big. It is dangerous for any toddler without adults supervising. I believe if this doll should fall on a child age two or under they would be serously hurt. I am concerned for my own daughters.

Please think carefully before you buy this because I think sometime in the near future there might be a recall because of too many kids getting hurt.

I got this for my daughters 2nd birthday, which was 2 days ago. Dora is pretty big and really loud. You cant turn the volume down. But my daughter loves her and so do I. Fast Shipping.

This doll is definately BIG but that's the problem. She is SO BIG that she can hardly stand on her own. She has to have her large head and body positioned just right for her to stand on her own which proves to be too difficult even for an adult. She needs to be better balanced to stand easily.

Also, her skirt is a bit too tiny (short) for her body. If it covers her navel it is disgustingly short for a "toddler" doll. It leaves the navel exposed which is not what I want to show my little girl how to dress. I prefer modesty to exposure!

Also, her skirt has trouble staying up around her waist. It slides down past her knees. It is very frustrating trying to keep her skirt on! The skirt is not only short but it is wide at the waist from the get go - not streached out from use.

She maybe capable of quite a few phrases but in actuality, she only says about six or so making the doll get "old" very quick.

I would not recommend this doll at all unless your girl adores Dora, is extremely patient and doesn't get bored with very few interactive words. If she was make of a soft material instead of hard plastic she'd make a good sleep over friend because she spends most of her time lying down instead of standing up

Dora was a Christmas gift for 2007 and by mid-January she was left to lay on the floor because she was difficult to stand up and is naked from the waist down because her skirt is too big for her. I'm frustrated by her let alone my daughter who expected a friend her size to play with.

Poorly designed. Meant to sell this DORA item to Dora fans who just have to have a life size Dora but does not win in the functionality department.

It's too bad too because my daughter really wanted this doll but I'm afraid this doll will be available for adoption at the yard sale this summer!

The only reason why I bought this doll is because I found it for only $40 on amazon and that was the total price that I paid including shipping. It arrived in excellent condition. My five year old daughter is very spoiled and normally gets what she wants especially since her birthday is seven days before Christmas. I must say that I was not impressed with this doll even when I saw it in the store. It does not do much more than any other Dora doll. My five year old weighs 44.5 pounds and could not lift this doll without complaint. It took me twenty minutes just to get it out of the box and then after attempting to play with it for less then ten minutes my daughter tells me, "this Dora is making me frustrated, it is exhuasting...too big!" She told me she wants to take it to Grandma's house and leave it there. I agree. It is big and everytime it falls,(because it is not stable), you can hear it throughout the house because we have hardwood floors. I think the head alone weighs just as much as my daughter. The clothes are very cheaply made and you can see the threads coming apart, which is okay with me, because my daughter will probably get more use out of the clothing playing dress up then with the doll. Thank goodness, I did not pay the outrageous price of over $100 for this doll.(I even saw this doll advertised for over $300). It surely is not worth it. But I can't complain because of the price that I paid. It will probably get donated to some other little girl who will love it and then it will be worth the money spent.

This doll is huge and my niece loves it. She hasnt put it down since i gave it to her she loves the fact that it talks.

This Dora doll is huge. She is truly life sized. She is about the size of a 3yr old. I bought this when my daughter was three and she was a little too big and heavy for her to move around. I do love how she teaches spanish and she is very interactive. My daughter is now five and she enjoys dressing her up in all her old clothes. Make sure you choose an outfit that doesn't go over the head, because her head is massive. It probally holds all info she is to teach your child. Enjoy.
