This review is from: My Size Swan Lake Barbie (Toy)
My experience with buying a "My Size Barbie" last year was so horrible that I feel the need to warn consumers as I wish I had been warned last year. $129.99 doll that was the most expensive toy I ever purchased and the biggest piece of junk I ever bought. Cheap, doll will not stand, clothes are cheap, our dress was torn, tiny crown broke in an hour, clothes didn't fit doll or child. Ask to see this doll out of the box before you purchase it. I cannot believe Mattel makes such a pitiful Barbie and slaps such a huge price on it. I have been a lover of Barbie for many years and remember my first Christmas I received my first Skipper doll in 1969. I still have her. I don't know what happened with Mattel offering this piece of junk. I was ripped off. Check this doll out before you buy it. Open the box in the parking lot. You will be heading straight for the service desk for a refund.

I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewer. My daughter's grandmother got suckered last year into buying this $130 piece of junk, which last year bore the theme of "Rapunzel" Barbie. Although my daughter (who was 4 at the time) was thrilled to receive this on Christmas day, it has sat in a corner of her room, propped up aganist the wall, since that time. It does absolutely nothing (doesn't talk, move, nothing electronic), the clothes neither fit the doll nor a child, she cannot stand up on her own and I cannot understand how Mattel has the conscience to charge this crazy amount of money for this doll. I might spend $30-$40 for it, but that is it. Don't buy this toy, your child will be disappointed after the initial playing with this doll. I know mine was and it's going to be the first item that goes into our spring yard sale.

Bigger is definitely not better!, June 8, 2004

This review is from: My Size Swan Lake Barbie (Toy)
Like the others mentioned my daughter wanted this and only this for Christmas. She has wanted a my size barbie for 2 years so we finally gave in. Sadly, it has been returned. She was very excited to get it but found it very hard to play with. It has to be propped up or carefully stood on her feet and it doesn't sit down. The wings kept falling off and the outfit was very cheap. The slippers wouldn't stay on either. It's very sad that an item that costs so much is made so poorly and such a rip off. Shame on Mattel. They could do much better! These were on clearance at 70% off after Christmas. I'm glad we took ours back. Our daughter picked out 2 smaller items and is very happy with them at about 1/3 of the price.
