This doll is made of hard plastic and doesn't move--nothing bends. Doll can't sit, legs don't move and she cannot share other Barbie clothing. The only thing she does is her skirt changes to wings when you twist her. They only thing this doll has going for it is the movie and the pretend factor that she can fly. In fact, my daughter had the blonde one, too, in which the arm broke in the first 30 seconds of holding it because she tried to get it to move (and she was not being rough with it). Don't waste your money!

As with all the co stars in the Barbie movies, their doll versions tend to be cheap and fairly uninteresting. Honestly, these really do feel like a bit of a waste of money when there are so many other interesting Barbies to be bought.

Of the two versions, blonde and brunette, this one is a bit nicer looking and I recommend this one if you want to choose between the two.

She has brown hair with purple streaks, a molded top and necklace and a skirt that transforms into wings (in the DVD, she is one of the fairies disguised as a real person who helps Barbie with fashion tips).

The doll has a transforming action that consists of turning her waist about two 360 degree rotations. The ends of the skirt are attached to her bracelets which wraps the skirt around her body as you rotate the waist. As you rotate her, the arms go from being at her side to holding up the wings. Oddly enough, there's a shark fin at her back to help rotate the waist.

The plain face, very cheap glitter wings, and hollow hard plastic legs really make this feel cheap. She isn't posable or bendable she can't even sit. Nor do the legs move at all she's like a Barbie statue. All she can do is twist at the waist to raise her skirt up and down. The mechanism does work well though unlike the expensive Barbie whose wings fall off and whose skirt doesn't raise up.

Note that the pink version transformation worked fine for me but the brunette model took quite a bit of force to get her to work the first time.

My daughter dislikes that the hands stay up all the time. Makes it hard to play with. She is pretty.

This doll lasted the longest. I thought the wings would be the first to go but I was wrong. After 1 yr she is still in great condition considering how much shes been played with.
