Review of Disney V.I.P. Cece Jones Fashion Doll

Disney V.I.P. Cece Jones Fashion Doll
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The VIP card in the box gives a web site with a pass word that really looks like fun until you try to get the web site. Doesn't exist. Dirty trick for to play on little girls who get really excited over a special Cece web site.

At a reasonable price. Is Mattel going to produce more of the above version of the Cece Jones VIP doll? I thought I'd read in another review Mattel said they were to increase production for it. I'd love to review it because the other three are great. Like to have firsthand information on this one. Five star'd based on the other products in the same line.

Best Deals for Disney V.I.P. Cece Jones Fashion Doll

I pre-ordered this doll along with Rocky and while I agree with the first 2 reviews on the price hike from outside sellers on Amazon, the product itself is well made. If your angry with Mattel then contact them, I know these dolls were scheduled to be released at Toys R Us on November 18, 2011 and the pre-orders sold out but keep checking your local store they will eventually get them.

Honest reviews on Disney V.I.P. Cece Jones Fashion Doll

I can not rate the fun or durability of this toy because the price is so unreasonable that I am not purchasing it for my daughter. Instead of receiving the CeCe doll for Christmas she had a lesson in economics! Hopefully, the price will drop soon and I will be able to get it for her.

Screw these dealers and all those who support this unreasonable price hike! And screw Mattel and Disney for giving little girls the belief that they could possibly have Cece and Rocky dolls for Christmas and not standing by the release date.

And why can't you produce these dolls by the masses the way you do with the Sharpay doll? There are a million of those and for only $19.

Even though Cece and Rocky have now been "released", they still aren't really "available" unless you deal with blood-sucking merchants who feed upon a parent's desire to grant a child's simple wishes.

Shame on you and shame on those who support you!

That's my 2 cents...

Best Mushroom Table & Stools Deals

Mushroom Table & Stools
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
List Price: $9.99

Based on other reviews for this series of toys, I anticipated this set to not come with the fairly dolls, which I purchased separately. I also have the Fairy Forest Lodge, fairy dolls, and all of the other furniture accessory sets, except for the Forest Bridge & River set. My daughter was ready for a doll house that would inspire her imagination and creative play, so everyone in the family pitched in to help Santa bring this all home.

With this set, you get the little leaf 'rug' piece, the mushroom table, and 2 mushroom stools. No dolls. The pieces are adorable and very well made. For creative play potential, this set is top notch. For functional play, not so much. The mushroom table is top-heavy and tips over easily, and while the fairy dolls (sold separately) are fully positionable, they absolutely will not stay sitting on these little mushroom stools. This is why I give the set 4 stars and not 5. If the table had a wider base and the stools had wider seats, they would be perfect.

FYI, the fairy dolls are a bit easier to sit up on the chairs that come with the Living Room set, but still fall off of those easily.

If you decide NOT to purchase puzzle base for the house, the green leaf with this set adds a nice punch of color to the collection. My 2 girls move it around the house and pretend it's all sorts of crazy things ... rug, picnic blanket, raft ... I'm glad that they have such wonderful imaginations! My one complaint about the green leaf is that it isn't sealed. I assume that it was stained with some kind of natural non-toxic water-based stain, but no sealer. The paint on the other pieces is a semi-gloss, so needed no sealant. If your child spills any liquid on the leaf, or any of the green stained wooden pices (such as the puzzle base for the house), the green stain will bleed. My children haven't put the pieces in their mouthes yet, but one of them leaned over with a sippy cup and when condensation dripped onto the pieces, water spots were left showing the light wood.

Note that the red of my mushroom table and chairs is darker than the photos here, almost a darker brick red than bright primary red. This may be different from set to set, as the mushroom accessories in other sets I purchased are brighter, such as the mushroom lamps with the Living Room and Bedroom sets, which were a nice bright red, and the mushrooms with the Hammock set were orange-red.

I bought this at a store so I knew it did not come with fairies, and I found it great for the moss/fairy garden my daughter made. She loves it.

Very cute little mushroom table and stools to go along with a fairy house or other nature play. These look to be well made and are sure to become a classic in a family. They are small, so should be for an older toddler.

Honest reviews on Mushroom Table & Stools

There is something strangely non-whimsical (at least to my American esthetic) about this mushroom table set for fairies. Which is somewhat the opposite of the impression fairy furniture should give. It's not that it is poorly constructed or otherwise poor quality it's carved wood. Rather, the mushrooms seem too thin in places, and the leaf too thick. It all lends itself to the wrong impression.

Also important, and this cost it a star on its own, is that the small mushrooms probably could not be designed to be a worse smoking hazard for infants if you tried. We took away the mushroom seats once my youngest crawled to it. Use with great caution around children under 3.

I bought this becasue I just loved the little mushroom stools an table but the table topples over incredibly easily just do to the top being too heavy for the base so it has become more of decoration rather than an actual table they can use becasue their little hands get way too frustrated an the stools are much to small for any figure to sit on

I hesitated to purchase this item for my 5 year old because of all the negative reviews. I have decided people are way too picky. This item did not cost very much and it is totally perfect for my daughter. It may not fit everything inside, but there is no need to. I don't pack it up when she is done playing with it. The hair lights up and it looks pretty neat. Honestly, I don't know why people have to be so negative about everything.

My 4yo girl enjous playing with this. It's a bit flimsy, but that's not a real problem, she has plenty of fun with it. All of the pieces do not store away inside Rapunzel's house though, so a zip lock bag comes in handy.

Purchased this doll for my 3yr old niece for Christmas. We had seen the doll in the retail store but chose Amazon due to the competative pricing and shipping options (we live in different states). This doll was an instant hit and my niece hasn't put it down since she opened the box. Great toy, adorable & durable.

I am disappointed with this doll. Even though she looks so pretty in the package, upon opening you find her hair is less than acceptable. The dolls hair is so thin you can see the bald head of the doll and how its painted red. The stitched in hair is so sparse I even called customer service to complain. The pictures even make her hair look thick but my daughter even asked why Ariel's head was red. If I had known I defintely would have bought something else. I am considering returning this doll.

I purchased this as a gift for a flower girl in my wedding. The product is exactly as described but I think it may have been opened at one time? The doll's hair is slightly messed up and stuck in the packaging, but it's not too big of a deal. Other than that, just fine and arrived quickly as well.

Honest reviews on Disney Princess Toddler Doll - Ariel

My 3 1/2 year old is somewhat princess-obsessed and her latest favorite is Ariel. She also loves playing with dolls, so this is going to be a great Christmas gift. I don't mind that it is not a mermaid (and I don't think she will either)....mermaids just don't make as good dolls, and Ariel 'dreamed' of having legs, so I think it's fine the way it is. The doll is a nice size, and the hair is beautiful, so I think this doll would be a nice addition to any doll collection, even if you weren't a Little Mermaid fan. I bought it at walmart though for much cheaper than is currently listed here. It was twenty two dollars there.

...edited to add: I ended up finding the same doll before Christmas at kohls for $15 after coupon, so I returned to first one to Walmart. And my daughter does love it! She plays with it every day and brushes her hair and puts her to bed at night. I am considering getting the similar style Cinderella doll for her birthday.

This doll has a real sweetness about her and her accessories. Not too much make up and a little sleep pal. But there are also a lot of little items that don't add up to a complete set really, this is a doll, a little stuffed animal, and a lamp. It would help if you already have a house or place for the accessories as they will get lost very easily.

It is easier to get into Fort Knox than it is to unfasten this doll from its overkill packaging. The twist ties left indentations embedded in the ankles. So much tape, rubberbands and sewn threads that secure the doll.... what I did not appreciate was that the eye mask was STITCHED INTO THE FOREHEAD and when I removed the eye mask from the dolls head, the stitching left two holes in her forehead. It wasn't even in the hairline. Just the viewable skin area above her eyes.

The doll is cute, her outfit is stunning, and the accessories are really cool, but the packaging... yuck.

For the amount of money spent on this product, my husband and I were very disappointed to see pieces with substantial scratches that were fixed so pathetically that the paint was left to drip and then dry only to be more noticeable than probably the original scratch. Unfortunately, Christmas is only moments away, so we are stuck with it for now. I guess the elves were drinking that day?

Barbie Princess Charm School: School Girl Princess Blair Doll Review

Barbie Princess Charm School: School Girl Princess Blair Doll
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This Barbie Blair is what I'd call a mid-range doll there are a lot of cut corners to lower production costs but it is still usually a step above the knock offs. Most girls prefer the light up fancy dress version to these vanilla dolls.

Blair has a pink tiara, thin ribbon made into a tie, socks, and shoes. A little plastic computer comes as an accessory for this doll (Delancy has a purse and Hadley comes with a ball). Each of the girls has a style to their dress that reflects their personalities: Blair's dress is topped with a studious corporate type white shirt with tie that's why she comes with a computer.

To cut corners, Blair's skirt's peplum and belt do not continue to the back of the doll. I consider this a bit of a cheat because you can't see that until the doll is taken out of the box. But this doll is clearly meant for very young girls who likely wouldn't notice or care.

Blair has click-bend legs but the arms are stationary. Her dress is one piece made to look like two pieces. And she comes with a trademark Blair side ponytail. Note that she doesn't have any undergarments another cost cutting feature.

In all, I feel she is worth the money for the playacting but are clearly meant to be disposable.

I purchased this doll as a gift for my daughter. We have two other World Collection dolls (Zoe and Ling) and we like the quality of these dolls. Lulu's face is beautiful, and we really like the idea that each of these dolls has a unique face; in other words, unlike other doll companies, it isn't just the same doll with different colored eyes and hair, with different clothes. The face is actually a different sculpture, making the doll new with each country she represents. Would highly recommend this product.

Best Deals for Karito Kids Lulu From Kenya World Collection Doll/Book Starter Set

I bought this doll for my daughter after I saw it in a store. I had a choice of several Kairto dolls, but I was taken with just how beautiful "LuLu" was and I loved that she was also athletic. I knew she was much more economical than an Am. Girl Doll (as are almost all Karito dolls). After purchasing the doll /but before giving her as a x-mas gift I started to worry if my daughter (age 5 1/2) would like her as much as I did. Our family does not share the same ethnic characteristics as Lulu from Kenya and I was wondering what my daughters reaction would be. It turns out that my "Anglo" daughter thought she was beautiful too, and commented on that for the next several days. After we got the doll out of the box I was able to see how well made the doll and the outfit are very good quality. My daughter loves to dress her for daytime and then bedtime,(with extra outfits I bought)-good fine motor skills practice. We are only 1/2 way through the enclosed mystery book, which is not well written, but that is not a big deal to me. We are able to use the doll and her background in other educational ways, not just with the book. (Oh yeah I am not a fan of buying a imaginative play item and then putting a child in front of the internet so we have not explored the website yet.) I am very happy with this purchase, and highly recommend this doll to anyone.

Honest reviews on Karito Kids Lulu From Kenya World Collection Doll/Book Starter Set

I found the Karito kids on a website by accident, and immediately became very interested. I am a big doll collector, and after 3 years of buying American Girls, I wanted to try something else. These dolls are stunning! I love the fact that their faces are very close to their ethnicity, and that they can wear the American girl clothes because I have so many of them, and the Karito kids outfits are very hard to find. I would definitely recommend these dolls. Haven't read the books yet, but will. Also have Ling from China(?), and she is as wonderful as Lulu.I know this is a newer company, and I believe they didn't realize how popular their dolls would be, because they are rarely in stock and often on back-order. At some point I hope that more outfits and furniture,and accessories become available. Until then, those items I will have to continue to get from American Girl.
