Reviews of Liv Dolls - Alexis

Customer Ratings:

The doll it really very pretty. Very lifelike inserted eyes instead of painted on eyes, they really add a nice touch of realism, and are very well done.

WE really enjoy the trendy clothes and accessories.

The wigs, my daughters main desire to play with really are also nice and I was surprised. The hair is very soft and silky. I like that all extra wigs come with a "wig head" to store them on, an when not in use, also useful for combing them out.

You will probably need to trim them after your brush them to cleam up some rogue long pieces.

At first it seemed a bit difficult to change wigs, there is a hole in the doll's head and a plastic peg in the wig. Then the directions point out you can push your fingers on the wig to pop the wig a bit inside out to easily insert the wig on the doll's head. My Daughter has not needed any help changing the wigs or clothing.

The joints in this doll are pretty wild!! this doll has knee-caps, and rotating wrists and ankles. Very impressive how lifelike you can make movements!! I think that is my biggest concern, how durable are they. My daughter always has played very respectfully with her dolls so I am not as much worried about her breaking it as I am friends who can get a little over-enthusiastic. SO far I can't really see any problems.

This was the 3rd Liv doll I bought and my favorite one so far! I especially like her eyes, they are very detailed and are a really pretty hazel with green flecks...just like real human eyes! She has a light African American (think Beyonce or Halle Berry) skin tone and she comes with 2 interchangeable brown wigs. One wig is short and curly with an orange headband and the other is long, wavy and full. Alexis also has a great outfit: jeans, brown boots and a colorful orange and gold print top with a removable solid orange shrug coat. The color they picked for her clothing goes great with her skin and brings out her eye color. I also like that the brown handbag. Alexis is my favorite because I like her eyes, hair and outfit. The combination of everything works together very well. I think out of all of them, her look is the most striking and dramatic!

Overall, this is a GREAT toy! This is probably more of a toy for older girls, like probably 7 and up. My littlest niece is still too young for these but the older ones have a great time changing the wigs, posing them and taking pictures. The outfits are similar to what real teenagers wear and the dolls are so realistic and pose-able, they are AWESOME for creative play! We took some photos where the dolls almost look like models in a fashion magazine.

Kids with a big imagination will really love these dolls. If you have future artists, photographers, hairstylists, fashion designers or movie directors they will enjoy all the options. Liv dolls have moving joints and additional wigs can be bought inexpensively. The wigs can be cut, styled and changed so the hair possibilities are ENDLESS! You can make a brown-eyed blonde (like ME=YAY!) or green-eyed brunette, or with this doll you can even have (my nieces favorite) a blonde-haired black girl. They also have some wild pink and purple wigs. Very cool! Each doll comes with 2 wigs, plus I bought some so we have about a dozen or so.

Spin Master still needs to work on the Liv website but they HAVE made some improvements since they started. I would like to see a more creative, more interactive website and they could stand to add more games. They also need to work on the clothing line a bit. They have a lot of cool coats, scarves and accessories. I DO really like their handbags too but their dresses are kind of blah and boring. I know they are trying to play it "safe" and avoid a Bratz-like image but I also think they could add a bit more feminine clothing into the mix and still keep it clean. Little girls love to play 'dress up' and dolls need an outfit for every occasion!

I do think Liv dolls are here to stay. The toy seems to be getting a great response. Another selling point= Some Barbie clothing fits Liv dolls too! Liv has more of a "sporty" body type than Barbie. Barbie shoes are not size compatible with Liv but most Barbie clothing looks fantastic. This is a great thing for kids who have both dolls! I hope Spin Master makes some new dolls soon. I have all four and I am VERY happy with them!

I got the Daniella doll for my daughter for her birthday and I fell in love with this doll! She is very beautiful the only issue I have is my daughter has problems putting the wig on but other than that it is a beautuful we also love going to where there are a lot of games and things you can do! These dolls also fit in the Barbie Jeep that I had perfectly and they also fit will in the Kidkraft dollhouses!

Honest reviews on Liv Dolls - Alexis

I love liv dolls, and this alexis is from the first style set released which is the only set with shorter wigs. I love the full articulation of the limbs, which provide a realistic movement, and the beautiful, real glass eyes. Yes, real eyes, not painted ones. Liv dolls are the best.

Alexis is my favorite of the original wave of Liv dolls. She is very beautiful, realistic looking, and I love her outfit. She is extremely well made and durable. One of the other reviewers had many legs breaking off -I can't imagine what is being done to these dolls to make that happen. I have handled at least 20 and most of them were used. Except for some loose joints (esp. ankles that you can spin around), these dolls are amazingly rugged for fashion dolls.

Reviews of Liv Dolls - Sophie

Customer Ratings:

My daughter received this for her 7th birthday.

She was really wanting these dolls badly and was not disappointed at all at. She played with it non-stop.

There seems to be a million strings and things to cut your way through to free the doll from her package, so a need to be patient.

The doll it really very pretty. Very lifelike inserted eyes instead of painted on eyes, they really add a nice touch of realism, and are very well done.

The wigs, my daughters main desire to play with really are also nice and I was surprised. The hair is very soft and silky. I like that all extra wigs come with a "wig head" to store them on, an when not in use, also useful for combing them out.

You will probably need to trim them after your brush them to cleam up some rogue long pieces. It is also very apparent they were cut with a machine, The straight wigs particularly are choppy and even a bit jagged looking, but not something my daughter noticed at all.

At first it seemed a bit difficult to change wigs, there is a hole in the doll's head and a plastic peg in the wig.

This review is from the perspective of an adult doll collector and diorama builder. I am not a parent, and this review is not from or for a child's perspective.

Every time I would cruise the toy aisle, looking for new, cool Barbie items, I'd leave disappointed by Mattel's new trend of overly pink and glittery, poorly painted, helmet hair headed, cheaply made stuff. Then one day, I noticed the Liv dolls. At first, I was a bit put off by them because of their slightly larger than usual heads. However, I loved their eyes (Which most people find creepy. They are inset, not painted on. But hey, that was the same fate that big headed, doe eyed Blythe suffered and look at her now!) They grew on me each time I'd visit the toy aisle, until finally I took the plunge and bought Daniela and Sophie (and I have since bought Katie).

Their bodies are articulated, so they can actually sit properly without falling over like a drunk sorority girl (*cough*cough*BabsImlookinatyou*cough*cough*), and they can even stand on their own (with a little patience). They just feel and look better made than Barbie does. Barbie does have an articulated doll on the market currently The Fashionista series but again, they pale in comparison to the Liv dolls.

I am very pleased as an adult doll collector with the quality of the dolls and their accessories so far. I am very aggressive with the articulation, and I have yet to break one of the dolls. That's not to say that the will not snap like a twig if you really try, but they endure my torture and are not delicate.

There are two waves of Liv dolls the first wave of Katie, Sophie, Daniela and Alexis come with an extra wig. The second wave come with various accessories and their pet dog. Personally, I prefer all the wave 1 dolls with the exception of Daniela. I prefer Wave 2 Daniela. She has a much cuter face and outfit, but that is just my personal preference. I wish Liv dolls existed when I was a kid! I would have saved every penny I had and bought them instead of Barbie.

The wigs are reasonably priced at $5.99 and the first wave wigs come with a wig stand. Be aware that the second wave of wigs no longer include the cool wig stands. So, if you find some of the first wave wigs on clearance (which I've started to see), I'd snap them up for that reason. The wigs are very soft and silky, unlike the glued down helmet hair of the new Barbie era (Mattel what is up with that?) Also, unlike Barbie, if your little girl decides to give Liv a haircut, you can get her a new head of hair for $5.99! Ah, I remember my first and last Barbie hair cut. The wigs come in really cool colors like pink, purple, green, blue, blonde, platinum blonde, blonde with colored highlights and brunette with colored highlights. There are lots of choices!

The accessories and outfits are super cute and do not look cheap or slutty (and the clothes are not cheap one outfit costs $9.99 and sometimes you can find three outfit packs for $14.99 at various stores.) Don't buy from online auctions as they price gouge. You can get Liv stuff at brick and mortar stores and online retailers for reasonable prices. It just takes a little effort.

In my opinion, I think Liv dolls are real competition to everyday Barbie. I have collected and played with Barbies most of my life, and I never thought that I'd see a line of dolls come this close to toppling the reigning queen of the doll world. While I still carry a soft spot in my heart for the ol' gal, and I do love the retro re-releases and the collector series, the mainstream Barbies and accessories have just lost that umph for me.

Bravo, SpinMaster, Bravo! Give Mattel a run for their money!

This doll was a gift for my granddaughter for her 10th birthday. The doll is actually quite attractive, the clothes are stylish and modern, her accessories are very interesting (especially to a 10 year old) and the articulation of the body joints is really quite amazing. We loved the fact that the wig can be removed and "Sophie" can go from long hair to a buzz cut instantly. There is a piece of paper attached to the back of the cardboard explaining the trick of how to place the wig on the doll's head again after it is removed the first time. The accessories which come with the doll are very, very small, as is to be expected for a doll of this size so the choking/hazard warnings should be taken very seriously.

There is one very important thing you will need to take into account when opening this package. Do not expect to have your child playing with this product immediately. Every single loose item attached to the doll, or even an item which MIGHT become loose, is anchored down with incredibly thin, clear filament line which takes some hard work to remove. And a sharp pointed instrument! Even this doll's hair was anchored down. After the wrestling match involved in removing "Sophie" from the packaging was finished I then had to find and pick up all those tiny pieces of filament in order to throw them away.

The doll is really quite marvelous and my grandgirl absolutely loved her from the first minute she saw her, but there are many, many tiny pieces of accessories and the packaging was quite a struggle to deal with. Especially with an excited 10 year old jumping from one foot to the other waiting for me to get all the tie-downs cut!

The Windsor Writing Chair was purchased for my 6 year old Granddaughter. She wanted a desk so she could teach her "babies" school.

My daughter likes this Jasmine toy, but she was disappointed that the top isn't removable (only the skirt is). She still will put other dresses on her, but some of them don't fit as well with the permanent glitter top that's underneath. This is a less-expensive princess doll--the legs only move at the hips (not at the knees) and the plastic that she's made out of is stiffer than barbie toys. Overall, my daughter still likes her, so I guess that's what matters.

My daughter paid for this toy with her own money which makes what i found out awful.First off i want to say that this is a great toy my daughter loves it just got it today i even played a few games myself.It's simple to use and the games are fun. But when the software was done uploading and took us to the website we found out that this product is being discontinued and that the website will be shut down on 1-1-09.My problem with this is that if your going to discontinue a product and shut down the site then you need to stop selling the product altogether.So if you are thinking about buying this for a someone for christmas that child will have less than 2 weeks to use this toy.Every store that sells this toy has it on sale and now i know why.Hasbro is trying to get as much money as they can out of this toy.As i said this is a fun toy so if you don't mind spending a few bucks on a toy with limited play time then it's a good buy.I told my daughter about the site and she was sad but said she loved the games and wanted to keep it.

Just wanted to quickly write a review to say that the product is accurately described and pictured. There are four princesses and eight dresses. We bought two sets (one for our daughter and one for her friend) and both were "correct" We bought them directly from Amazon and not a third party. Maybe that is why the other person said the product was not as described. In addition the faces of the princesses seem to us go be a higher quality than some of the smaller magiclip sets (the Cinderella Fashion Collection).

the ease of these dressesYou pinch them as you would a hair clip and the neck line opens to allow her to pop the doll feet first into the dress, she lets go and the dolls dress is on. No more pulling those darn rubber dresses, on because you have heard the frustrated screams and want them to stop, only to hear them again two minutes later when she needs to change into another gown. I like the rubber dresses beacause they seem to last forever, these will last for a long time as well, but like a hairclip, with too much pressure, or a misplaced step into the playroom and they are toast. My sister says hers are holding up very well even having kids she babysits playing with them as well. My niece also treasures them so much they do get put away after each use. just leave the cinderella castle aloneit literally broke after 10 minutes of playbut in its defense the girls who are sisters, each took ownership of a side and played happily.

I was delighted to see that there's a Tinkerbell doll (to go along with the new Tinker Bell DVD) that looks very age-appropriate for the little girls who'll be watching it. My own toddler picked her out of the Tinkerbell product lineup at Wal-Mart to buy with her birthday money from her grandma.

However, once we got her home and out of the usual ironclad package (@#$@#T#!), I was a little disappointed.

In my opinion, she's got two things going for her: She looks like a little girl and is shaped like that, not like a supermodel. Her wings are soft and won't poke my gal in the face while they're sleeping together.

She's got more against her: For one thing, she's pretty hard and stiff-not too good for snuggly bedtimes. For another, her wings are part of her dress, not part of her body. This is supposed to be a real fairy, not a blonde girl doll in a fairy costume. (Believe me, my gal will soon notice the difference.) Finally, Tinkerbell's dress is extremely flimsy (ie netting) around the shoulders, and is hard enough to take off that I'm pretty sure it will rip once a toddler starts yanking at it.

But it IS Tinkerbell in doll form. And because of that, my three year old doesn't seem to mind any of the details too awful much. I'm disappointed, though, that Disney didn't put a little more thought into her design.
