My son was so happy to get this toy and he plays with it a lot. The stroller did come apart thru rough play though, but dad and son are still fine! My son likes to pretend that Alan is his Dad and Ryan is himself. It's great to see him playing with these toys and being able to have "Dad" take him for a ride in the car and just being there when "real-life-Dad" is busy at work. :)

Alan is part of a very happy family with his wife Midge, their first child Ryan and a new baby girl on the way. Alan loves to take Ryan rollin' around the block in his sporty new stroller. Today Alan is taking Ryan for a picnic in the park. This fun set comes with a colorful stroller with moving wheels and plenty of great stuff for a father and son picnic. Includes flying disc, camera, radio, cup and more. Alan measures approximately 12 inches tall.

I don't know why people are saying that Alan's (the dad's) arm falls off because I've had this doll for quite some time and even when I toss him in my Barbie Moter Home from my hight 5"1 it DOES NOT fall off. But this doll is very cute, and I love how Alan and Ryan's clothes match. This does not look like your typical Ken doll, Alan has those lines you get around your cheeks when you smile and has that awsome highted hair look you get in the summer (not that green color you get from the pool the good one, from the sun). So I think if you have or want Midge, the Alan and Ryan set are a must. And also, that so called icky hair spray is not sticky or wet, it is there so you don't mess up his awsome hair, and if you have a problem with his hard hair you can rinse it out with water a couple of times it's just fine. : )

This would be a great toy if only the arms didn't come off with little or no tension whatsoever. I write this on my daughter's birthday, when this morning's present, Alan and Ryan, thrilled her, only to break within a hour of playing (and not rough at all). After returning the doll after many tears, I got a replacement in time for dinner, which also fell apart (arm came off at elbow once again) within half an hour, again through normal playing! My daughter is in tears and we tried to explain that we now will have to find a different kind of doll to replace this one, as the Alan doll just falls apart so incredibly easily. Wish us luck! She was desperate for a doll to match Midge and loved the boy in the stroller.

she dropped the dad portion of this duo on the sidewalk and his arm broke off. He's now missing a portion of his arm from the elbow to the hand. I was unable to glue it back on and my daughter was devastated. On closer inspection, I realized that the dad's head was falling off also and when I thought about it, I realized that the head had been coming loose (at the neck) for a while. I don't think this doll was well made at all. Furthermore, the hair on this guy has actual glue in it or some other sticky stuff that has hardened. It's kind of gross.

My 3 year old daughter accidentally dropped the father portion of this set and the arm from the elbow down, broke right off. My daughter is 3 feet tall. From a height of 3 feet, this doll shouldn't break. Furthermore, the head on this was very loose from the day we got it. It was always looking like it was going to come off. The hair on these two dolls has been covered in hard glue. So, it's icky and you can't comb it. My daughter only used these two as escorts "to the ball" for her Barbie and Kelly dolls anyway. They weren't major players in her mind. Just bit characters. Anyway, good luck with the whole durability thing. These two probably won't last long.

married adult friend, Midge, gets ready to welcome a new baby. Midge is part of a very happy family with her husband Alan and their first child Ryan. Now, there's a new baby sister on the way. Help Midge and her family get ready to care for their new bundle of joy. This Midge and Baby set comes with a handy 3-in-1 crib, table, cradle and lots of other things that a newborn needs. Also includes diaper, crib blanket, baby monitor, baby bottle and baby bottle warmer, baby wipe box with baby wipes, baby powder bottle, shampoo bottle, rattle, bear, receiving blanket and instructions. Midge measures approximately 11.5 inches tall. Alan and Ryan figures sold separately.

I have two daughters ()and they LOVE playing Barbies together. They were both begging for the 'Dad' for their 'Happy Family' dolls. My (child)got this for her birthday and within 10 minutes the head poped off. I put the head back on but it usually only stays on for a few minutes and they are asking back to me to put it back on again.

I just obtained the Alan & Ryan set last Sunday. And while I
found the boy more or less typicial. Of Mattel's children dolls,
there are two things about Alan. That I've never known them to
do with a male doll. Particularly a married one with rooted hair.
It was such a relief to have him wearing a wedding ring. I just
wish the ring had gone all the way around both sides of his
finger. The other was that they put some absolutly gorgeous
highlites in his hair. I've been collecting Mattel's "fashion
dolls" for years.
And I've never seen them do this with a mail doll with rooted
hair before. And I think it looks exquisite. But I really sure
do wish that they'ed back of big time. On the amount of hair
spray they use on their mail dolls with rooted hair. They use
way too much, to the point where the hair's as hard as concrete.
Otherwise I wouldn't change a thing.
