Editorial Review

A prop to go with the plot of the DVD movie My Scene Goes to Hollywood, this purple stretch SUV limo ensures that the My Scene dolls have stylin’ transportation to their first movie premiere after they are cast as extras in a glamorous Hollywood movie. The side doors on this party pad on wheels open up to a roomy and glitzy compartment that fits all four My Scene gang members. Two plush corner banquettes provide cozy seating while a center bar holds beverages and snacks and also hosts a TV set for high-tech entertainment during the ride. A disco ball in the ceiling, blue mood lighting along seat edges, and white backlighting in the bar and floor liven up this limousine with the atmosphere of a nightclub. And, for the ultimate luxury, the dolls can lounge in the real working hot tub at the back of the limo or pop the top off to wave to fans and the paparazzi. This accessory coordinates with four dolls made specifically for the My Scene Goes Hollywood collection. --Cristina Vaamonde

This review is from: My Scene Goes Hollywood: Limo (Toy)

This limo has it all. I got this limo over six months ago for my birthday(August 13). It's still in excellent condition. It serves as excellent storage, great display...wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll start with the packaging, since that seems the biggest problem.

So I had just turned 12. I ripped the cardboard off(so easy), then I discovered there were thes black plastic stands holding the limo up. There were four of them, I believe. Well since they were screwed into the limo, with my smart little 12-year-old brain, I figured I needed to UNSCREW them. Imagine that! And it only took me 30 seconds to figure that out, and 30 more seconds to find a screwdriver that would fit, and a final 30 seconds to unscrew them. That only a minute and a half. I didn't have ANY help. I knew how to do everything. It was about 10 minutes before I had everything all set up. I would think that grown-ups would be able to do it quicker. But I think I heard someone say it took 'hours'? HOURS! Maybe these people need to buy more stuff for their kids so they can practice getting things out of boxes. For pity's sake! I'm not trying to be rude, but if it was easy for me to do it, and I was twelve, it should be easy for 30 year old mothers and fathers to do it. If you couldn't get it out of the box, then you may keep reading to find out what you were missing out on.

Here are the measurements of the party limo:

Compact
legnth=2ft 6in(30in)
height=9in
width=9in

Expanded
legnth=2ft 11.5 in(35.5in)
height=1ft 4in(16in)
width=1ft 5in(17in)

The expanded version consists of lowering the hot tub, opening the doors, and pulling up the roof. This limo is huge. The My Scene dolls may stand up and still have extra room in it. The couches may fit one doll each, two dolls each if you cram them in. The hot tub may fit two dolls comfortably. I'm sorry to say that it does not come with swimsuits, but that is easily fixed. The roof may hold five (I think), but may start falling down if too much pressure is applied. To oped the roof, you reach under the roof. There is a handle on your left side. You have to grip both ends of the handle(not just one) and then the roof may be pulled up(while holding the handle). It does make a lot of noise though, and it took me about 5 minutes to figure that out. But once yu get the hang of it, it's easy. The disco ball doen't shine light, it reflects it. First, you have to turn out the lights. You may shine a flashlight into the disco ball. You have to get it at a certain angle, but once you do, it looks pretty awesome. I rarely use the lights. They are cool, but they aren't that bright, and run out of battery very quickly. Anyway, the hot tub doesn't have any problems. It easily comes out and goes back in. It doesn't pop out uncontrollably. And it can be disconnected very easily, then reconnected. The accessories are cool, but don't have much use. Sometimes, I do use them for decoration, for pretend make-overs, or for making my dolls snack on food. They store pretty easily, and don't get in the way. But the doors have to be closed on before the other, and if you are moving the limo, they don't always stay shut. This is annoying, but it's simple to get over,

Overall, this limo has some minor defaults, but that doesn't destract from the major features; size, durability, etc. I do recommend this toy to anyone who doesn't complain so much, and looks at products as a whole.
