Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Whenever the ponies visit the sea, they magically become beautiful mermaids. The ponies were at the beach one day and discovered they can breathe, swim, and play underwater the same way they do in Ponyville. They made new friends who showed them a whole hidden world, and told them stories of sunken treasure lost long ago. Join the Mermaid Ponies as they have waves of fun discovering this new enchanted world. Spend a fun and fabulous afternoon “beneath the waves” with your PINKIE PIE pony figure and your beautiful MERMAID PONY CASTLE playset. Set your lovely pony friend on the swing and press the button — it will revolve automatically while pretty music plays. When she’s done relaxing and wants to get really moving, turn the thumbwheel to make your pony figure “surf” the “waves”. And you certainly can’t top the fun of a “waterslide”; set your pony figure up top and let her slip, slide and “plunge” down. Let her sit in the pretty translucent seashell or detach it to use it as a carrying case. After an active afternoon like this, your PINKIE PIE pony figure is sure to have worked up an “appetite”. Treat her to “pineapple” and “watermelon” from her picnic basket accessories and sit back to enjoy the twinkling lights on the “castle”. Sure, there’s fun under the sun, but there’s also tons of fun “under the sea”.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Bells and Whistles - but could be frustrating for little ones, February 5, 2011

This does have some drawbacks but it is good solid fun for young kids. It plays two tunes (my little pony theme and a caribbean theme), has castle horn sounds, and has a rotating swing set at the top of the castle. It also lights up. All are controlled with the same single button. So you will have to push multiple times if you want to, e.g., move the rotating swings.

But it has some heavy drawbacks that could very much frustrate younger kids:

- Ponies are top heavy with the tail and fall over easily - whether in the set or on their own. Nor do they really sit in anything easily. Although they have the hole in the bottom to help keep them on pegs on various items on the playset, they don't stay in the pegs and fall over easily. Not even I, as the parent, could get them to stay. I could barely get them to stand on their own. And well, they have hollow arms which is kind of disturbing, actually.

- The seal that comes with the set has a peg hole in the bottom so he will stay on items. However, if you buy the companion ponies and their friends separately (e.g., the one with the dolphin), the friends do NOT have pegs. We bought the pony with the dolphin and the dolphin doesn't sit in ANYWHERE. He just flops over stupidly.

- If you put the ponies in the rotating swings, they tend to flop over and block the thing from working (catch on a piece of the castle). The set makes horrible noises when that happens.

- The shell sits in a peg and is very stiff to open - trying to pry it open usually results in knocking it off of the peg, which frustrates my 7 year old.

I have a very patient kid and she becomes easily frustrated with this set. Things don't stay in place, fall off, don't work or aren't compatible with all accessories, etc. But it does have good play value in that it moves, plays music, etc.

We got this gift for my daughter for Christmas - it is a great toy! She enjoys all the little things she can do with her mermaid pony. I do caution that there are several VERY small pieces, but we took those out as they have no real use either. Also, I do wish it came with more than one mermaid pony. Those mermaids are hard to find! But, overall, it is a great toy that has provided a lot of entertainment already! Would definitely recommend at the right price (the regular price is a bit steep).

My daughter received this for Christmas and really loves it. There is so much for her to do. The ponies can surf, swing, ride the carousel, swing in the hammock, or chill out in the clamshell. The only drawback I see is that the hammock doesn't stay on very well. It is a little loud, but mine wasn't awful. We would like it if the music lasted a little longer. The ponies don't get much of a ride with a single push of the button. Overall, we will be playing with this for a long time.
