I was skeptical about the new SSC Doll by Playmates. I really loved the Bandai brand SSC Dolls, so I wasn't too impressed with the look and the appeal of the newest Playmate SSC Dolls when they came out a few months ago. However, my daughter got this doll for her birthday, and I honestly think she is just as cute and even better in some ways. This Strawberry Shortcake doll has a pleasant strawberry scent that is much stronger than the Bandai SSC doll. This doll has long, shiny hair that doesn't frizz when you comb it and your child can style it in so many different ways. Her outfit is hip and seems to be of pretty good quality (some of the Bandai SSC doll clothes ripped and were a bit flimsy). However, she is slightly bigger than the Bandai dolls so the outfits from my daughter's Bandai SSC collection don't really fit this doll. Other than that, I think Strawberry Shortcake by Playmates is a great doll that is worth a second look!

WELL I THINK SHE'S ADORABLE AND I REALLY *LOVE* THE PINK BANGS! (TOO CUTE!) NO SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. THIS IS A MORE MODERN VERSION OF THE DOLL AND IT SEEMS LIKE EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR YOU DON'T. I DO. I THINK SHE IS VERY CUTE. 5 STARS.

THIS WAS THE FIRST PLAYMATE DOLL THAT MY DAUGHTER GOT AND SHE LOVE IT, IS EXCELLENT QUALITY, THE SCOOTER IS EXCELLENT QUALITY, AT FIRST I DIDNT LIKE THE NEW LOOK, BUT THE KIDS GIVE THE LAST WORD ON TOYS....

Who is this doll supposed to be? I know it can't be Strawberry Shortcake since it doesn't look a thing like her! Strawberry Shortcake and her friends were extremely popular when I was growing up in the 80's. I was delighted to witness the Strawberry Shortcake comeback in 2002 when Bandai began producing an updated version of the dolls. The newer Bandai dolls certainly had a different look than the Kenner originals but they seemed true to the spirit of Strawberry Shortcake. They were still cute, wholesome looking toys that seemed a perfect fit for a new generation of Strawberry enthusiasts. My four year old daughter became a huge fan. She loves to play with her "Strawberries". Sadly, Bandai lost the contract to produce the Strawberry Shortcake toys and beginning in 2006 Playmates released a new line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls and products including this one. I was hopeful that these new dolls might be easier to come by than the Bandai dolls had been. I thought maybe they would release another line of dolls in their traditional outfits such as they appear in the Strawberry Shortcake books, dvds, and numerous products. I knew there would have to be some changes made but I NEVER expected this! I think the playmates dolls look completely ridiculous. I can't figure out how they plan to pull this one off. I can't see these toys flying off the shelves the way the Bandai products did. Can little girls and their mommies really accept this mutant Strawberry? I don't think so. Oh how I wish they would bring back the Bandai version.
