Product Description

Editorial Review

Your little bather will find adventure in the soapy seas with water-friendly mermaids Barbie and baby Krissy. A gentle squeeze lights up Barbie's plastic mermaid tail--both in and out of the bathtub. The water-safe clamshell glows when opened, holds Krissy's treasures (hairbrush, jewelry, and tiny toys) when closed, and can function as her bassinet. Five AAA batteries are needed, but not included, to light Barbie's tail and Krissy's clam. Though you can change Krissy's and Barbie's halter tops, the dolls don't swim or stand on their own. --Amy Nevala

3.0 out of 5 stars Its ok., October 15, 2000

By A Customer

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars

Magical Mermaid Barbie and Krissy is a nice toy for any girl to add to her Barbie collection. The idea of the lights looked cool on the TV, but doesnt look all that magical in person. Not to mention after a few baths, the lights on my daughters Krissy shell bed stopped working. I guess the batteries need to be changed every week or the bed is not meant to go in the water. (Try telling that to your 3 1/2 yr old girl..lol) Barbies waist is not meant to be turned. Twist her a bit too hard and she could break. Last but not least, the only thing that can really move on Barbie is her head and arms. Her lower torso cannot bend or move. But over all, "Its ok".

3.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of money!!, October 18, 2000

By A Customer

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars

The only thing good about this is the sea shell bed case for baby Krissy. The Barbie's tail does not move or bend. She can not sit down. The other factor for my bad review is my child has trouble holding her fingers on the contacts to light up the tail in the water. I am glad this was a gift and I did not purchase it myself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the asking price, November 29, 2000

By A Customer

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars

Wait for this one to go on sale. It's certainly not worth the asking price. My daughter is a big mermaid and Barbie fan and I thought this would be the perfect birthday gift. After spending 20 minutes getting Barbie and Krissy out of the box (Mattel really needs to work on this aspect of its packaging) we loaded everyone and everything up with batteries. The shell works intermittently. Barbie worked once. We changed batteries. Barbie doesn't work at all now. My daughter still plays with this toy--it feeds her imagination and that at least compensates for the money wasted. But I really have to question Mattel's ability to create toys (at least Barbie items) that work and last--I for one will think twice before making another Barbie product purchase.
