The doll it really very pretty. Very lifelike inserted eyes instead of painted on eyes, they really add a nice touch of realism, and are very well done.
WE really enjoy the trendy clothes and accessories.
The wigs, my daughters main desire to play with really are also nice and I was surprised. The hair is very soft and silky. I like that all extra wigs come with a "wig head" to store them on, an when not in use, also useful for combing them out.
You will probably need to trim them after your brush them to cleam up some rogue long pieces.
At first it seemed a bit difficult to change wigs, there is a hole in the doll's head and a plastic peg in the wig. Then the directions point out you can push your fingers on the wig to pop the wig a bit inside out to easily insert the wig on the doll's head. My Daughter has not needed any help changing the wigs or clothing.
The joints in this doll are pretty wild!! this doll has knee-caps, and rotating wrists and ankles. Very impressive how lifelike you can make movements!! I think that is my biggest concern, how durable are they. My daughter always has played very respectfully with her dolls so I am not as much worried about her breaking it as I am friends who can get a little over-enthusiastic. SO far I can't really see any problems.

This was the 3rd Liv doll I bought and my favorite one so far! I especially like her eyes, they are very detailed and are a really pretty hazel with green flecks...just like real human eyes! She has a light African American (think Beyonce or Halle Berry) skin tone and she comes with 2 interchangeable brown wigs. One wig is short and curly with an orange headband and the other is long, wavy and full. Alexis also has a great outfit: jeans, brown boots and a colorful orange and gold print top with a removable solid orange shrug coat. The color they picked for her clothing goes great with her skin and brings out her eye color. I also like that the brown handbag. Alexis is my favorite because I like her eyes, hair and outfit. The combination of everything works together very well. I think out of all of them, her look is the most striking and dramatic!

Overall, this is a GREAT toy! This is probably more of a toy for older girls, like probably 7 and up. My littlest niece is still too young for these but the older ones have a great time changing the wigs, posing them and taking pictures. The outfits are similar to what real teenagers wear and the dolls are so realistic and pose-able, they are AWESOME for creative play! We took some photos where the dolls almost look like models in a fashion magazine.

Kids with a big imagination will really love these dolls. If you have future artists, photographers, hairstylists, fashion designers or movie directors they will enjoy all the options. Liv dolls have moving joints and additional wigs can be bought inexpensively. The wigs can be cut, styled and changed so the hair possibilities are ENDLESS! You can make a brown-eyed blonde (like ME=YAY!) or green-eyed brunette, or with this doll you can even have (my nieces favorite) a blonde-haired black girl. They also have some wild pink and purple wigs. Very cool! Each doll comes with 2 wigs, plus I bought some so we have about a dozen or so.

Spin Master still needs to work on the Liv website but they HAVE made some improvements since they started. I would like to see a more creative, more interactive website and they could stand to add more games. They also need to work on the clothing line a bit. They have a lot of cool coats, scarves and accessories. I DO really like their handbags too but their dresses are kind of blah and boring. I know they are trying to play it "safe" and avoid a Bratz-like image but I also think they could add a bit more feminine clothing into the mix and still keep it clean. Little girls love to play 'dress up' and dolls need an outfit for every occasion!

I do think Liv dolls are here to stay. The toy seems to be getting a great response. Another selling point= Some Barbie clothing fits Liv dolls too! Liv has more of a "sporty" body type than Barbie. Barbie shoes are not size compatible with Liv but most Barbie clothing looks fantastic. This is a great thing for kids who have both dolls! I hope Spin Master makes some new dolls soon. I have all four and I am VERY happy with them!

I got the Daniella doll for my daughter for her birthday and I fell in love with this doll! She is very beautiful the only issue I have is my daughter has problems putting the wig on but other than that it is a beautuful we also love going to [...] where there are a lot of games and things you can do! These dolls also fit in the Barbie Jeep that I had perfectly and they also fit will in the Kidkraft dollhouses!

I really like this doll,but you have to be careful with her hips she kind of falls over.But over all this is a pretty good buy.

The doll was fine and our daughter enjoyed it, but we could never get the website to work. After two calls to LivWorld tech support, still no success. Don't buy the doll for the website!!!

U purchased this doll and she is awesome. (my daughter says) I like that the doll is pose-able and can have many adventures with my daughter. I do not recommended this doll for 6 and under because of small parts. But my daughter likes that you can curl her hair and cut it, But shes not ready for that. Overall for the price its a great deal.

Very pretty doll. Her outfit alone is worth the price (purchased on sale). Interchangeable wigs are fun for girls. I bought an extra Alexis doll for a gift. I pose a few dolls and put them by my exercise tapes--adorable! Don't really play with them, so don't know how durable they will be with little ones. I like that they are multicultural too.

My daughter has 2 of these, and 3 other Liv dolls. So far, we have had 2 LEG BREAKS; and her cousin's Alexis also had a leg break. It doesn't take much to snap the hip, and when you look at the cross section, you see the very thin diameter of the plastic connection. She is not particularly hard on dolls, and has never broken a Barbie or Bratz.
Very disappointed in the sturdiness of the leg, considering how many times girls change the pants/skirts on their dolls.

I purchased this doll for my niece, and she loved it, espically since her name is Alexis. She was very excited to get her new doll and play with it!

Thanks and God Bless y'all for providing this much appreciated product for our daughter during the Christmas Holidays.
