Cheap Barbie Airplane
The Barbie Bug has finally bitten my 6 year old, and her latest obsession (for the last three months or so) has been getting the Barbie Airplane for Christmas. Santa delivered it, and she's not taken her hands off it since!
The plane environment comes with all the goodies that any self-respecting real plane has. This includes, among other things, reclining, sliding seats (with belts and headphones!), luggage, real microphone & takeoff sounds (batteries required, not included), and a whole plethora of goodies to make any trip worth it's while. I have even seen some Airplanes come WITH a bonus of a Pilot Barbie and two other children dolls, but don't know how commercially available these sets are.
However, bear in mind that since most of the play pieces are scaled down to Barbie's size, they can easily get lost. There is a coffee pot, mugs, glasses, pitcher, ice tongs and ice (VERRRRY small bits of ice! ), cans of Coke and silverware. There is on-board space and nooks & crannies to store all of these goodies during takeoff and landing, including a magazine rack with 'zines and movable drink trolley (in which you can store the drinks, food, silverware, food trays and snap-on seat trays). Just bear in mind that one good jolt to the plane can send everything flying pell-mell inside the cabin if it's not carefully stowed.
As far as interactive, creative play, the possibilities are endless, and the overall design of the toy is very detailed, especially the cockpit which is loaded with buttons, pulleys and levers (NOTE: in the cockpit, other than the "steering wheel"--if this is the correct term for an airplane-and a set of levers, nothing else moves). The back of the plane sports a coffee and juice dispenser that "pours" a pretend stream of drinks into cups or mugs. The amount of detailing clearly indicates that the makers of this plane took their time and made sure to provide all the amenities of life.
My daughter, however, has expressed two concerns which she asked me to pass along in my review. The first is the aforementioned smallness of the pieces-parts, ESPECIALLY those ice cubes, which are about 1mm or so square--they're about 2 or 3 times the size of table salt crystals. They also BOUNCE when dropped in the plane, and the plane itself has numerous little slots and grooves in it. These grooves are good in that they often catch the runaway cubes, but are non-optimal in the respect that most children, and certainly almost all adults, will not be able to retrieve them with fingers (we discovered that the ice tongs or a piece of tape are especially handy in retrieving the runaway ice).
The other criticism she would like to pass along is that the seat belts are a bit tricky to get the dolls into. Tilting the seat back helps, but often the Barbie's legs get stuck on the belt and pop it open. Putting the belts back in requires some dexterity and patience, which all children may not have.
DEFINITELY **NOT** RECOMMENDED for children under about 4 or 5, or those children who like to eat small things, of which there's plenty in this set.

My mother bought this for my daughter last Christmas (She was 5 then) I was not thrilled when I saw the millions of little pieces. (Down to extremely tiny ice cubes no less) Yes, my back wings never stay on. Yes the seats tend to fall apart sometimes. And the whole thing doesn't always close very well. But ya know it's a year later and she still takes that dumb thing out at least 2x a week. Sets up the coke cans in the tray; puts the Barbies in the chairs. Makes ice. Her most favorite part though is that stupid microphone and button for the take-off noises. She LOVES to play stewardess and pilot on the "intercom" It doesn't stack up to what I thought it would but she loves it. Faults and all.Best Deals for Barbie Airplane
All I have to say is WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK. This was the worst [money] I ever spent.Why did they even bother to supply wings with this toy? they have yet to stay on for more than ten seconds.When my daughter tries to roll it along the floor the door keeps popping open.there are too many pieces inside the airplane unattached, the child gets very frustrated trying to put everything where its supposed to go, and it's not easy! This one gets a big thumbs down from me and all the kids that have played with it .

Best Polly Pocket Hawaiian Holiday Polly Travel Backpack Deals
This was much smaller than I expected, and the clothes are rubbery material that are very hard to get on the doll, even for grown-ups.

Polly Pockets can be hit or miss, but my only complaint about this set is that the doll's "real" hair sheds like mad. We use all these pieces with the dolls that came with Polly Pocket Rainy Day Doll Gift Set. I love this set because it comes it's more like American Girl and less like Bratz. With her backpack, surfboard, binoculars, cargo pocket shorts, and so on, she looks like she's ready for adventure. All of these things including the board fit in the trunk of Polly Pocket Goodie World Convertible (which comes with another throw-away doll -we learned to stay away from any polly's with "snap on -or 'pop and lock'clothes"). The only thing missing is a suitcase and passport (we raided a suitcase from the Calico Critters and made a passport). The Hawaiian Holiday Polly Travel Backpack, Polly Pocket Polly Explorin Australia Travel Backpack, Polly Pocket Rainy Day Doll, and the convertible are my favorite polly pieces by far. Highly recommend all four.Monday, November 10, 2014
Pinypon 10 Figure Pack Reviews
Darling daughter love these dolls! She can play with them for hours! These adorable little figures are very engaging for kids. Kids can change their clothes, hair and even their faces. They are very well made of quality plastic. Not suitable for 3 years old and under because of the tiny little pieces, but overall they are fun adorable little dolls. I would advise to have a box for it, to store those tiny little parts.

Very cute products. However, the ones that have glitter paint on them (mermaids) smell like nail polish very strongly, and have a sticky feel to them. Wish they didn't paint these.Honest reviews on Pinypon 10 Figure Pack
This is one of the Christmas gifts for my 7 y/o granddaughter. My daughter saw the items and told me they were the cutest little dolls she had ever seen and was so happy I had sent them. You can't go wrong with the Pinypon collections. Girls of all ages love them.

Review of Barbie I Can Be Art Teacher Doll Playset
My daughter is 5 and has been asking for this doll (or in her words, "Barbie Artist") since her last birthday, so we went ahead and got it for her for Christmas. She was allowed to open in early because we have a family Christmas early in the month. She LOVES it, she's especially thrilled that Barbie "actually paints" (really just a water reveal). She likes the cute little cat and often has Barbie telling the kitty to "pose pretty." She is a pretty artistic kid and likes the idea of pretending to be an artist when she grows up. I will say that this toy has a lot of little pieces so I wouldn't buy it for a small child.

Our daughter chose this and really likes the art easel "magic" and the Barbie. But be forewarned the box advertises this as one of the "I Can Be" Barbies that has a code inside the box, allowing the purchaser to go to the website and create and play in Barbie world. (Much like Webkinz but with her beloved Barbie.) After we purchased it and got it open, we could not find the code anywhere. I just contacted Mattel Customer Service and they apologized, saying the Art Teacher is not one of the I Can Be Barbies with a code and that the box materials were printed before final decisions were made. They were gracious about it and apologized but this is basically Bait and Switch on a little girl, which really disappointed us both. So buy the Barbie if the art teacher is all you want, but don't expect to find a code to her virtual world.Best Deals for Barbie I Can Be Art Teacher Doll Playset
My daughter is a High School art teacher so we purchased this for her gift after her earning her masters degree. It was the hit of the party! Everyone really loved it as well as her students!Honest reviews on Barbie I Can Be Art Teacher Doll Playset
My 5 year old granddaughter loves this barbie artist. She's only allowed to play with it when I'm around so it's on a high shelf. The reasons are simple: It requires a little water in its cup for Barbie to "paint", I don't want the necessary pieces (paintbrush, cat, vase, easel) to get lost with all the other barbie stuff in the playroom & I don't want her clothes to be taken off. The paintbrush, cat, vase & easel are essential to make this work. Put the darling "Blissa" cat on the table & it makes the easel flip to the cat picture. Put the vase on the table to flip to the flowers. Barbie's arm can be moved with a lever to make the painting motion. The little cup attaches to easel table that you fill with water. Put special paintbrush into water & "paint" the watered brush over the pictures to display the colors. Push the easel bar up to start over, & there will be a pink "page" that can be "painted" on with your own designs with water. The color from the water makes the page a darker pink. The pages will stay "painted" until they completely dry. Then it's back to clear again. Barbie's outfit is very smart & I'm glad I bought this toy & thought ahead to keep it out of reach until a child wants to play with it under my supervision. My 5 year old granddaughter is very careful with barbies but I just like to be sure all the pieces stay together. She doesn't mind though: she loves my watching her play & pretend paint. I think this is one of the cuter & more creative barbies, however only one child has been interested in it so far. Still, that's better than no one wanting to play. Art Teacher Barbie is played with almost everytime granddaughter visits (she remembers to ask me to bring it down from shelf) & she plays with it for about 30 minutes before moving on to playing with other barbies & things.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Barbie I Can Be Art Teacher Doll Playset
I don't understand why she is an art teacher and not an artist or painter? She doesn't have any items that relate to teaching art, ie students or a white board or really anything that looks like what I have as an art teacher. This is another example of girls being told they can't do something in a subtle way. I don't appreciate it and I say that as an artist, an art teacher, and a mom!Friday, October 31, 2014

Reviews of Monster High Create-A-Monster Design Lab
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $29.47
Today's Bonus: 26% Off
I was waiting for this set to come out! I had even prepurchased the ADD-ON packs, before owning the starter kit! I ordered it the minute it became available for retail prices, and even snagged a discount and free shipping! As I waited for it to arrive, I read the scant reviews, and my enthusiasm went out the door. Then the day came that it arrived! I took it for a test spin, and found the body tattoos are fairly easy to get right, even a nine year old could easily do it right! However, the faces ARE a bit more difficult, but after using the least appealing set of eyes and lips as PRACTICE, then moving on to another set, I found it became easier with practice! As such, I think the set would frustrate children under the age of 13 or 14, so I am standing by my original "Intended for Adults" stand on the product. As it is, the clothing options that came with the set are much nicer than most standard Create a Monster outfits, especially the shoes! I wish they would add earrings, and accessories with the Create a Monster doll kits! The dolls just seem less appealing than the regular doll line, and I think jewelry has a lot to do with it! The other downside: the facial features have less detail as they are decals! The lips are not sculpted, nor is the material the head is constructed out of conducive to "face carving" techniques that many doll customizers utilize, myself included! HOWEVER, I saw another owner of this set leave her doll essentially faceless! She used the body tattoos, and even decorated the face with stars, but left her as a faceless ghoul. I loved it! I will likely have one faceless ghoul too now! In short, this set has some limitations that can be overcome with some positive thinking, and creativity!

I found this item at a local store on clearance, so I grabbed it. It was so much fun! The first face that we put on did come out a little crooked, admittedly, but it was the first try. All of the rest of the tattoos went on easily and nicely. The item is NOT hard to use at all. There are small arrows that show where to position the sponge holder. Two LED lights flash to show that you are setting the tattoos in place. When they stop flashing, its done. All you really have to do is read the instructions and it's very simple to use.ENJOY!!!

Very good toy with a lot of creativity.Each time that you create a monster that seem like to get a NEW doll.
The skin still green, but the possibility are endless.
Just take care to adjust the picture of the face on the right place when you use the Design Lab for the first time, otherwise the face will be shifted.
I am a adult collector and this is my favorite items of all my Monster high's collection.

This toy is very unique and lots of fun! My girls and I found it very easy to use. It took about 30 seconds to set it up, and about 2 minutes to look over the toy and directions. I don't understand the other reviews that say this was hard to use. If you follow the simple directions it works wonderfully. My 7 year old was able to use it properly after watching me. It comes with lots of fun tattoos. It is just so unique that's what I really live about it!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Monster High Create-A-Monster Design Lab
I bought this for my niece for her "Birthday" because she is obsessed with her "Monster High Dolls"....She absolutely loves this "Creat-A-Monster Design Lab" and I thought it's prettty cool myself....Since it comes with at least "100 Tattoos" to create you own personal "Monster High Doll"....The doll comes easily a part...Works just as the video above...It takes only a few minutes for the applique tattoos to dry...They don't rub of unless we used a little soap and water...Then you can redesign her again and again....She gets many hours of play with this new edition...They are durable dolls because her older ones are still holding together with the way she plays with them..This lab case and handle comes already with 3 AG13 Button cell batteries and is just as durable she has been playing with it for months...No doll stand included but she has many any way from her other dolls...It's educational for her because her "Aunt" has 2 full tattoo sleeves which she always interested in and "encourages imagination"..This a safe way to play and just pure fun..You can place "new Tattoo designs" over old ones to make a whole different look...Wipe the doll down completely for her to start new...
The Tattoos are made in the USA and the doll is made in China....Safe for children ages 6 and up...
I also bought her an extra Create-A-Monster Doll, "Mystical" that comes with "sparkly tattoos"....You use this doll with the lab the same exact way....She is happy.....

Reviews of A Brilliant Yellow Sundress with Multi Color Floral Print
Consumers be advised...these dresses are meant for AMERICAN GIRL dolls and do NOT fit "My Twinn" dolls! We have a My Twinn doll and I just ASSUMED it was the same size as the American Girl dolls (they are both 18" dolls)...but I was WRONG. The dress is very tight on my daughters doll but it DOES fit. However, the dolls do NOT have the same sized feet! The My Twinn doll has feet about an inch LARGER than the American Girl doll. LUCKILY the shoes fit some of my daughters other dolls so we decided to keep them.
Cute dress. I would recommend this seller to anyone who has a young girl! My daughter got these dresses for Cmas and LOVED them! 5 stars (even though they didn't quite fit the doll we bought them for!)

Best Barbie Fashion Stardoll Doll - Mix and Match Trendy, Original Deals
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $14.00
Today's Bonus: 30% Off
This doll is a little scary close up, and not a toy for little girls in my opinion. Her proportions are better than regular Barbie, not as pneumatic, but her butt is up in an aggressively sexual pose, and her legs can't be moved. Her arms do move, so it's possible to change her clothes, just not easy. The chains around her neck are an odd choice for jewelery too, I have to say. We were looking for a doll to make goth and this one is halfway there in the photo, but there's too much of the fashion pose and it's a big distraction.

I want to give this doll 5 stars simply based off the fact that it is easy to take off and put back on the clothes and shoes! That is a big plus for me so that my children can do this on their own. It is cute! My kids love it. It is extremely durable...but be careful of little ones getting ahold of it as the head is extremely heavy and there have been a couple head related mishaps.

Cheap Realistic African-American Baby Doll: Beautiful Beyonce by Ashton
I was so excited when I saw that my new doll came in the mail and couldn't wait to open her. I was disappointed when I did get her open. She really doesn't look anything like her picture. I didn't really like the shape of her head or her facial features. The silicone felt nice to the touch though, and her hair is really nice and soft. I also was disappointed in the size of her feet. They are very tiny. And it is not that I don't like Ashton Drake dolls. I have been collecting them for years and have always enjoyed their dolls. I have their silicone Emily doll and really really like her. I wish I would have read other reviews on her before I bought her, but I couldn't find any. What is nice is Ashton drake has a excellent return policy.... So I did return her and ordered something else.

I bought this doll because I wanted to add my AA baby doll collection and because is was silicone. When I received this doll I was so excited, but that quickly faded because she looks nothing like her picture in the Ashton Drake site or catalog. I was dissappointed because she actually looks like a doll and not as life like as their other dolls. I actually considered sending it back. It's skin is very soft and the body form is very cute. When you hold her over your shouldres she looks like a real baby, but the face is just not real looking enough. I thought she would be more life like in the face considering the price and the fact it is a signiture edition. She is not an ugly doll but not what I wanted. i wanted a doll that had a real like baby face like her photo or at least close to it. The artist of this doll makes such beautiful life like sculpts so i thought this would be the same. i looked for reviews about her before i bought her but did not find any. If i had found an honest review like mine. I would not have bought herSaturday, August 9, 2014
