I own this particular doll and I too noticed that the arms pop off very easily. There's a trick I learned with action figures that works with these dolls as well. If you have a toy with a loose "peg and socket"-type joint you can use clear nail polish to make it tighter. Simply coat the "peg" part of the joint with a thin layer of clear polish, allow it to dry completly before reinserting it in to the "socket". Add more polish, or remove a layer of it(with a nail file) until you have achieved the desired tightness to the doll's joint. I did this with my doll and her arms are still removable(with greater effort), but they stay snuggly in place on their own.

I am an adult doll collector, and I LOVE the Monster high dolls. They are adorable and strange, and very poseable. Yes, they do come apart (some articulated dolls do...I've got several 27cm obitsu dolls as well that do the same thing, albeit with 'tighter' joints). I think that they were probably aiming for an older audience (preteen maybe?) with these toys. The joints could be a little less loose, and they definitely need to put out a Ghoulia doll (maybe more clothes as well for the characters). But all in all, I think the dolls are wonderful, and quite appropriate for girls who play carefully instead of dragging the poor toy around by the hair or a limb through the dirt. Like with all things, one really needs to use common sense when purchasing toys for younger children. If it has small parts, probably not for them. (and FYIsome of these prices on amazon are ridiculous. If you are paying more than 20 bucks before tax, keep looking!)Best Deals for Monster High Lagoona Blue Doll and Neptuna Pet Piranha
This doll is really pretty and sweet. She's beautifully sculpted and has lots of creative detail. This isn't a doll for young children, mostly older girls. Her hands, arms and fins are removable for easy dressing, therefore these small parts need to be handled carefully. I found that her curls were flattened a little in the packaging. She's very poseable. Her feet are really cute, but I don't think there are many other doll shoes that will fit her. Or her body and clothes for that matter. She has a very small body. She comes with a booklet that has a few journal entries in it. Its cute. I enjoy her a lot.Honest reviews on Monster High Lagoona Blue Doll and Neptuna Pet Piranha
These dolls are the cutest dolls ever but I have had 2 dolls fall completely apart within an hour of being out of their box. Now, I understand that the arms are meant to disconnect and we have had no problems with that at all. The problem we have had is that the legs of the dolls are held together with a gold elastic band between the body. This elastic, if not assembled properly, becomes pinched in the plastic of the doll and movement of the dolls legs breaks the elastic piece by piece until the dolls legs fall completely off and there is no fix for this! It does not matter how gentle you are with the doll if the elastic was pinched in the plastic when it was made then the doll WILL break. I have called Mattel twice about this problem and recommend any other mother who has had a problem with these dolls legs breaking off to call them as well. My girls are older and within the recommended age limits for this set of dolls. The issue is a manufacturing error and Mattel needs to redesign. An elastic piece holding a dolls legs together is poor and cheap design and needs to go back to the drawing board.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Monster High Lagoona Blue Doll and Neptuna Pet Piranha
"Monster High" is really a cool idea for kids even over 13. I think Mattel really hit the spot this time. These dolls will be very this holiday season, so buy quickly!Anyway, Lagoona is a wonderful doll. She is very cool looking and has amazing "sea monster details". From her blue streaked hair, webed fingers, fins, and cool fin-like ears she really does look like a sea monster! Her limbs are a little looser than other dolls though, it can easily be fixed with the clear nail polish trick. Her hair has a nice curl to it, but if you brush too much it can get frizzy and the curls loose shape. it can be easily mended with extra small sized sponge curlers. Just wrap them in her hair, wet her hair, and leave it in over night. After you take the curlers out her hair looks as good as new.
Over all a great doll.
