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. :)

My 10 year old is obsessed with Novi Stars. So for her 10th birthday 4 days ago, she got Mae Talik and Allie Lectric. Wow cool look and nifty ideas for the doll's backgrounds I had high hopes.

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.

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.

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.

Honest reviews on MGA Novi Stars Doll - Alie Lectric

As a toy collector, I immediately fell in love with these dolls when I saw them and snatched up a couple.

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.

Really lovely doll. I love how she glows, and how you can replace her batteries!

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.

Could someone please post the phone number and name of the manufacturer of this stroller? I have lost the box inserts and I'm missing the part that holds the back wheel on. I'd like to call them to ask for the part but can't find a number any where on line. Is the name of the company Mommy and Me? Please help! If they can send me the part, I'll complete a good rating (this is why I gave it three stars for now). Otherwise, I would say go with a different brand. This one was missing a critical part and the stroller can't be used without it! Thanks

Purchased this double stroller for my daughter after doing a lot of research. I was very close to purchasing the double stroller from American Girl. I heard it was great quality, but just couldn't bring myself to pay $70 plus tax and shipping. Found this stroller, and was very happy with the price and reviews. Many of the double strollers in the stores are just junk and fall apart so easily. Received this for my 5 year old's birthday, and she loves it. It was very easy to put together, and I love that the handle is adjustable to grow with her. It fits her 18" dolls perfectly, and is very durable. I highly recommend this to anyone who is considering the American Girl stroller, but just doesn't want to spend the money. Very happy with this product.

After reviewing a few strollers I chose this one because of the height and I was not disappointed. It is very well made and I think my tall 4 year old will be able to use this for a few years at least. Her bitty babies fit perfectly in it and it seems like it will withstand all the walks outside on the concrete. Went together very easily and folds up nicely. Seems like a regular baby stroller.

The Irish Dance dress fits the AG doll perfectly and it's adorable. The colors are vibrant and the value is terrific. However, the ghillies DO turn your doll's feet black. My daughter's AG doll looks like her feet have varicose veins in them! I tried using rubbing alcohol to remove and the black staining but it didn't work. I am not sure what else I will try. Really, it's not that big of deal to me, but if you want to be sure your AG doll remains in pristine condition skip the ghillies. I am happy with the dress and very glad I purchased it.

Best Deals for Moxie Girlz Magic Snow Doll- Kellan

My 5 year old loves Moxie Girlz. I like the fact that they are a step down from "Bratz" dolls which I thought were too made up and teenager-looking. She loves their "fashion" clothes!

The only strange thing is that they don't have feet. When the shoes come off, there is just a leg with a ball on the bottom (that plugs into the shoe). So if your child looses the shoes....well you just don't want that to happen. I told my daughter to keep their shoes on at all times. I don't think she has two barbie shoes that match anyway, so while this seems weird, it's not a big deal.

No complaints here, though I notice that the price has gone up. (This review is based on an approximate $12 cost) I would not pay $29 for it as it is currently priced. YIKES!!

We have not tried the snow due to some of the reviews I read and, well, we live in the Northeast and have our own snow this time of year.

This doll is a great value and provides a great service with some of the profits going toward helping young girls. I bought this for the daughter of a friend, the daughter is half African, and this was her first African doll--all of her dolls were either white or Dora dolls (in Iowa, where my friend lives, there is a very sparse selection of good African dolls). My friend's daughter loved it, and it has quickly become her favorite doll (it looks just like her--especially the hair). It's a great product, and I cannot recommend this enough. I wish there was a larger selection of high quality, multi-cultural dolls.

The size is impressive and its quality justifies the price.

Honest reviews on Hearts For Hearts Girls - Rahel from Ethiopia

My 3 year old got a gift card from her great grandparents for Christmas and when we went to the store she first picked out Lilian from Belarus from this same collection. It was the only Hearts for Hearts doll they had in stock, but when we went back later in the week they had restocked them all and she asked if she could get Rahel from Ethiopia. After seeing how durable Lilian was and seeing my daughter's enthusiasm for finding Belarus on her globe, I couldn't say no.

Rahel is a gorgeous doll, and she stands up on her own. She comes with a comb, sandals, the outfit she's wearing, removable earrings, necklaces, bracelets and removable bracelets on one arm.

The dolls are very educational as well, as they come with a story about her, and part of the proceeds go to World Vision who then uses that money in the specific community the doll comes from. The website associated with the dolls has more information on real girls they drew inspiration from and has games and things to do, though we haven't tried any of them.

These dolls are definitely at the top of my list now for gift ideas for others and we are planning to collect them all over time for my daughter, since they are such a great play and educational item as well as supporting a great cause.

Barbie's 2013 basic mermaid line is really confusing.

Her face was bad as she had very wonky eyes and her hair quality is not up to par from what we have come to expect from older Barbie. The downhill quality of Mattel is really evident here.

She has minimal articulation and a molded on top that doesn't make sense and is an evident example of Mattel cutting corners . She does not look like a mermaid whatsoever. Her "tail" looks like a tablecloth, it even has your typical gaudy flower design all over it, it looks nothing like a fishtail.

Its really sad when compared to older barbie dolls like "Mermaid Barbie" from 1991 and "Mermaid Fantasy Barbie" from 2002 which are some of the most beautiful dolls around.
