Customer Reviews

What a mess. On the second day my 7 year old was playing with this doll, it snapped in half! What we didn't realize is that the bust is attached to the waist with a small plastic rod (to make the 'transformation' happen). She doesn't have any pose-ability and my daughter didn't realize that. She bent the doll over to sit her and snap! There was a sharp broken plastic piece exposed on both ends. The doll has hollow hard plastic cheap legs so the only way to make her sit was to bend her at the waist (just like the other Barbies). Except you find out the hard way that she can't bend, sit, or even pose!
More disturbing was the sharp plastic pieces on each end of the broken area. That can't be safe - we made sure to look for any pieces that might have flown off when it snapped as well in case her 2 year old cousin visited.
Even before it broke, however, we could tell it suffers from the same problem that Mariposa and a lot of the other 'transforming' fairy dolls had: the wings do not stay on nor will they stay "up". I wish we had bought the less expensive 'non transforming' version instead.
Everything about the doll feels cheap. The legs are cheap hollow plastic (not softer vinyl), the dress works oddly (if at all), she doesn't have undergarments so when she bends over, she bares all, the face and hair are very generic looking Barbie (actually reminiscent of the cheaper $7.99 line of dolls), and her chest/body is very square and oddly shaped. That doesn't even take into account that the wings just fall off all the time (even our Winx dolls have wings that don't fall off). What's the point of a fairy doll if the wings don't stay on ever?
Finally, the whole transforming thing is a joke. You pull strings in the back (that hang down below the length of the doll when not in use) to pull up the dress so it goes from ankle length to 'fairy' length short. But the strings only pull up one inner skirt and not the outer one.
Neither my daughter nor I can push the small sharp edged butterfly button on the wings to make those raise up (and when they do, only one goes up limply and the other goes half way and falters). Even if the wings stayed on, we couldn't get them to work.
In all, an incredibly bad dolls in every regard. Get the non-transforming version of this doll and save yourself the disappointment.

This toy is terrible. 1 hour ouf of box and the wings don't stay on and the dress won't stay up. Cheaply made. Not worth the cost. Will be returned asap. Would give negative star rating if possible.
