Reviews of 18 Inch Doll Shoes, Polliwog Sandals, Fits Eighteen Inch Dolls Like
All these items for 18" dolls are always so ridiculously expensive, but these were so darn cute, I couldn't resist them!Perfect for the American Dolls both 15 inch and 18 inch. Fits well and the 18 in can be balanced in them.

Reviews of MGA Novi Stars Doll - Alie Lectric
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $14.59
Today's Bonus: 27% Off

Novie Stars are the new doll line from MGA (makers of Bratz), the line currently contains 4 dolls and each has a special quirk.
Alie Lectric lights up and changes colors
Ari Roma Smells nice (and has glitter legs for some reason)
Mae Tallick Talks when you press her ear
Una Verse has a body that contains water and glitter
The dolls are about 7-8 inches tall and are very stylized with rooted hair. Each has antennae, an outfit, pet, and a glow-in-the-dark base and the three besides Mae come with shoes. Since this review is about Alie so I'll focus on her. She glows through a battery operated LED backpack that plugs into her, and it works really well. She's cute but comes out of the package with a major case of "box hair". Her outfit fits well and is cute, and it has a hole in the back for her backpack. So pros and cons now.
Pros:
cute and a great concept.
nice glow effect.
good accessories.
eyes with depth, not just painted on.
Cons:
Completely inarticulated body that is 1 solid piece. Arms only bend at the shoulders, elbows/waist/wrist/knees/ankles don't move. For as much as they cost articulation would have been nice.
Can't stand without the base
A bit expensive when you compare to other fashion doll lines
Box hair!
A tad fragile.
So I like the one I bought but I'm an adult collector. I'm worried that these will be too fragile and easily broken for kids, the arms pop right out and can get easily lost. That said they are really cute and offer some space exploration themed play if you want to try to go the educational route. :)
When the birthday girl opened Alie's box, Alie's head and arm came off, but my girl was not upset "they're supposed to do that.". Uh..ok..
She was much more careful opening Mae's box. A few minutes later she's playing with both dolls, all seeming to be good. Then Mae's hair comes off and will not stay on for very long.
Alie's backpack, the source of the light that lights up her body, pops off really easily and doesn't clip in to hold very well.
Alie and Mae's dresses are ok, but the velcro that holds them on is so small the dresses "fall down a lot". The birthday girl is not deterred and is still happy with the gifts and thinks they are super cool.
A few days later my girl is still happy with the dolls, even though she has found that it's better to have them on their stands while she moves her other dolls around them, but I can see her frustration at the hair & backpack coming off all the time. I think her enjoyment has more to do with the Novi Stars website and my girl's imagination than the ability to actually play with the dolls.
Bottom line dashed hopes, disappointment and waste of money. These dolls could have been great toys if the quality assurance levels during production had been higher and a bit more attention had been paid in the doll production design instead of the website and backstory for each doll. I also wish she'd only gotten 1 doll and seen how poorly it was made before asking for another one. I predict these new dolls will not be played with after a month tops.
1. Not very durable. When I first touched the arms, I could tell they were very delicate and would fall off easily. If you have a kid that's a little rough with toys, keep this in mind.
2. Not very flexible. Her head and arms (at the shoulders) move, but her knees, hips, and elbows do not. One thing that's great about the MH girls is that they have a lot of pose ability.
3. She comes with a serious case of "Box Hair" with no brush. The hair seems to fall out easily and she sheds a bit.
4. With all these things in mind, do not pay what Amazon is listing as the price! I do not think this is worth the $20.00 that stores are asking for either. She's probably worth closer to $15.
In all, she's a doll that probably looks better sitting on a shelf or played with very gently. She won me over with her cuteness, so that's why I'm giving a 4 out of 5.
As a toy collector, it was a great find....as a toy collector...who will never play with this doll and merely display it.
The problem lies in the fact that it feels like it would be very easily ruined, having loose joints, and hair that could easily become a ruined mess. Also they are rather inarticulated, limited to extremely few poses. I don't imagine they'd actually be much fun to PLAY with.
But if you're looking for something adorable and unique to put on display on a shelf (for your girl's room or your own), then I highly recommend it. If you're looking for a toy for your child to play with....not so much.
Yes, her arms come off. Yes, you would know that if you bothered to read the instructions. It is not poor "quality control," the doll is made that way.
Yes, her head can come off and be nearly impossible to put back on. Get a sharp knife and extend the back of her head socket outward so the socket looks like a teardrop with the point towards the back of the head (carve a small triangle). You'll have no trouble putting it back on, with the added benefit of being able to turn her head now and not lose it.
I bought her with all of the outfits and a secret pet, for $12. Was not dissappointed.

My 10 year old is obsessed with Novi Stars. So for her 10th birthday 4 days ago, she got Mae Talik and Allie Lectric.

First off, this doll is so cute! She has beautiful pink eyes with long glittery eyelashes. She also has adorable ears and a cute outfit. There's just a couple things with this toy that I don't like.1. Not very durable. When I first touched the arms, I could tell they were very delicate and would fall off easily. If you have a kid that's a little rough with toys, keep this in mind.
2. Not very flexible. Her head and arms (at the shoulders) move, but her knees, hips, and elbows do not. One thing that's great about the MH girls is that they have a lot of pose ability.

Review of Polly Pocket Fab-Tastic Mall
My seven year old loves this set. She received the plane last year, and was disappointed with it. We were hesitant to buy her another big polly playset, but this one turned out to be much better quality! The mall stores close easily, and the elevator is sturdy. If the mall is closed up, you can insert the plastic polly card that comes with the set, and the elevator rises up and pops open. There were some really fun accessories with this one. The only downfall with this set is that you have to remove everything from the shops in order to close it up. It's not a big deal really, but it can be frustrating for the kids. I am really pleased with this set and will look forward to buying her some of the newer sets. It's worth the money!

This Polly set is better than a lot of the other ones. Yes, the doors do pop open at times, but get real, it is a plastic toy. I got this for my 4 year old last year, and she still plays with it to this day. It still operates as it did when new, and that says a lot! If you have the Polly Roller coaster toy, you probably know what it means to have a headache. This one is worth it!Best Deals for Polly Pocket Fab-Tastic Mall
I was dissapointed with the Polly Pocket mall. To me,it was kind of flimsy.And some of the doors didnt quite close all the way, the elevator would get stuck, one of the doors wouldn't stay closed.etc. My daughter has quite a bit of Polly playsets(jet, cars,buses room sets)and now there is ANOTHER mall that she has to have.(It is the light-up where you buy the rooms seperately and connect to the center section) As for THIS mall, it sits in her closet and she doesnt bring it out any more-she gets too frustrated with it.Honest reviews on Polly Pocket Fab-Tastic Mall
I was so excited to find this at a clearance sale 75% off. I gave it to my daughter only to find that it was the biggest piece of junk. The doors do not stay shut unless it's sitting flat and perfectly still. bump it at all and they fly open. If you take a real good look at what they want so much money for you'll realize how much a waste it really is. There aren't that many accessories that come with it and the elevator goes off easily as well. If you want to move this thing out of the way for a while you might as well do it with both doors open and the elevator at the top because it will pop open. Junk!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Polly Pocket Fab-Tastic Mall
The Polly Pocket Mega Mall is so cheaply crafted. The center doors of the mall are not flush with each other. I would swear this product was used when it said, "Brand new". It had scuff marks on it. And, if I had saved the box (in the excited of Xmas morning it had been broken down), I definitely would have returned it!Saturday, January 3, 2015

This doll bag is so cute,its big enough to put two American girls in plus a change of clothes.

It's doesn't hold dolls in place and it's hard to get them inside. After they're in it's wobbly and you need to make adjustments to keep them inside. I'll have to buy American Girl bag now. Wasted my money on that one.

What can I say, it's a Barbie. My daughter loves it. There's pieces all over her bedroom, lots of fun for little girls. The packaging was so much better than previous years.

Best Alexander Dolls In Bloom Outfit For 12" And 14" Dolls - Play Deals
Fits 14" Madame Alexander doll perfectly, 13" Middleton very well too. Quality Quality once again!! Great product for such a small price!I bought this for my 2-yr-old daughter for Christmas so she'd have another outfit for her 12" Baby Huggims doll (we have the one with plastic arms and legs), and it's perfect! The outfit looks even better in person, and I'm very happy with the quality of the fabric. The pink jumper is adorable and I really like how the green pants spark up the outfit (we are overrun with pink at our house with two girls! ;) The shirt and jumper have velcro in the back to make it easy to dress your doll and the pants have a nice elastic waistband. Bottom line: if you're looking for another outfit for your Baby Huggims doll, this is it!!!

This was purchased for my daughter for her birthday, and I remember thinking that baby dolls for toddlers were a dime a dozen. Not so! This is the best doll on the market and is, by far, my daughter's favorite. For one thing, the baby sucks on her finger... my daughter is also a thumb-sucker. This baby smells SO good and so soft and cuddly that it was only after receiving her that my daughter started cuddling and kissing and treating dolls like REAL babies. I highly recommend the purchase of this doll for any little girl... it will be around for a very long time!Best Deals for Corolle Babicorolle Babipouce Pink Striped Doll

We bought this doll as a Christmas present for our daughter who was 16 months. We loved how soft it is, the plush velour outfit, and the fact that it can suck its thumb or index finger just like our little girl does.

Highly recommended as a first doll for a infant or toddler.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Corolle Babicorolle Babipouce Pink Striped Doll
My daughter is nearly 5 and has had this doll for 2 years. She will not sleep without her "soft baby". We have even replaced it twice! The vinyl is very soft and the velour body makes anyone want to snuggle. My daughter carries this doll EVERYWHERE and plays with it throughout the day, everyday. People ask us where to get one all the time...it is THAT cute. As a mom, I STRONGLY recommend this doll for any child that likes to pack around dolls/stuffed animals and for any child that likes to snuggle with something at night. I also recommend it because it is so easy to clean...just throw it in the washer.Saturday, August 16, 2014

Review of Corolle Babicorolle Miss Grenadine's Heart Doll
Beautiful soft baby doll. Perfect size and weight for a one year old. Made well and washable. My niece loves it!This doll was given to my one year old daughter as a gift and she really loves this doll! She loves the soft fleece dress and snuggles up with her at night in her crib. During the day she drags her around by the arm and if she's holding her while sitting on my lap she studies her face and it makes her smile (her face really does smell like vanilla). I love how well made the doll is which is important becuase I plan on this being w her for a long time. This is such a great doll i purchased two additional so it will always be on hand.

Reviews of Barbie A Fashion Fairytale Flairies Shyn'E Doll
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $11.99
Sale Price: $8.77
Today's Bonus: 27% Off

These flairies from the Barbie movie are good quality and bear a decent resemblance to the fairies in the Barbie A Fashion Fairytale movie. This doll, Shyn'E, was not the most prominent of the 3; along with Shim'R and Glim'R they made the dresses in the Barbie movie glitter. Shine'E and Shim'R had their own moments in the movie but of the three, it was Glim'R who had the most attention since she was having trouble making her magic work and the other two helped her out.
If you are trying to decide which of the Flairies to get, I would recommend Glim'R first since she had a larger part in the movie. Otherwise, for the price, might as well get the three.
The quality of the doll is good and all 3 are surprisingly large (not to scale) in comparison to the Barbie dolls from the movie. Glitter does come off in your hands occasionally from their legs since it is not molded in but lightly glued on. But they are fairly easy to pose (legs don't bend but they do spread easily) and in all very decent additions to the Fashion Fairytale line of dolls.

The child I got the doll for played with it right away and carried it around for more than a week before it was put aside. Pretty good with a bunch of new toys for Christmas. The other girls in the group also liked the doll. So I would say it is a safe choice if shopping for a gift. The doll is of the same quality of a typical Barbi doll, just something a little different. Good choice for the youger girls rather than one of the scary options available.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Barbie A Fashion Fairytale Flairies Shyn'E Doll
