Another Singing Barbie Doll.., 20 Nov 2008
We bought this for our daughter's 5th birthday along with Princess Liana's partner doll, Alexa. Why 2? simply that the price had almost halved and they sing in tandem so thought we would get both.
The build quality is the usual Barbie doll quality and will withstand medium play. The shoes are awful and do not stay on, the tiara is flimsy, but otherwise pretty good. We have resorted to using blue tack in the shoes to keep them on and much better now!
The famous transforming dress: at the back of the doll is a plastic pink "clockwork" type key. You turn the key and the left and right front panels of her dress lift up and swoosh round to reveal the glittey lining panels, creating a new outfit. It is fairly successful, certainly my 5 yr old thinks it is "incredible" but I wonder about how well the mechanism will last. The dress is very stiff with plastic bits in the hem of the panel which does help to keep the panels stiff and hold their shape well. We had to realign part of our doll's dress with a few careful tugs and bending as the doll kept flashing her knickers (to the amusement of her elder sister and the upset of the doll's owner!) The downside to this is that it makes the doll feel very awkward and a little stiff when a child holds her - especially with the bulky key sticking out of her back! Not the end of the world, but not the same as the regular Barbie dolls when a child is playing. The turning of the key also switches off the music if wished - nice to be able to cut the song short if the phone rings or trying to get the dolls to sing in sync and keep wanting to restart.

The music: same quality of sound as previous Barbies, it is ok. You can hear the words to sing along and the volume is pretty loud. As an adult I would expect a little better sound quality for the price of the toy, but my daughters seem not to notice or care about that side of it! The doll sings two songs from the movie. The singing is activated by a button on her hand. She alternates the two songs. While the doll singing solo is ok, really it is designed as a duet to sing in tandem with her partner doll, Alexa. Liana's part does sound better as a solo doll than Alexa so if you are only intending to purchase one doll, I suggest considering this one over her purple friend. The idea of the button in the hands is that if you press their hands together they will sing together. Only partly successful, we often found one would start singing and have to start all over. It is suprisingly tricky to sync them exactly and my daughter resorts to lying them flat on the floor and taking a deep breath, pressing one with each hand! Not quite the simple "hold hands and sing" method as suggested by the advert!

So, all in all, I still think the doll is expensive at current prices but no doubt the price will drop further before Christmas. It is a pretty doll and will appeal to all Barbie doll loving children. Out of the two Princesses from the Parbie Diamond Castle, this one is better as a stand alone singing doll as the music does sound more convincing than Alexa. The dress is a bit gimmicky but kids will love it anyway.

Yes - another singing Barbie doll.., 20 Nov 2008
My daughter pleaded and pleaded with us to buy the two main Barbie dolls from Barbie Diamond Castle. Seeing as the price finally dropped a bit (and it was her birthday) we relented. Normally we would have insisted on choosing one but as these clevely work as a pair, we purchased both.
The actual barbie doll is of the usual Barbie build quality - pretty good and withstands medium play level. The plastic tiara did snap when our 5 yr old tried to "pull" it out of her hair (thanks to those clear elastic bands trying to keep it in place) and would recommend a little adult supervision for younger children if they wish to restyle the hair. One main complaint: the shoes are a disaster. They will not stay on - pick the doll up and off flies the shoes, every time. They are not the usual slightly rubbery ones, they are hard plastic ones. A little tip: we have popped a small blob of blue tack in each one and squished them down. Much better now!

Her magical transforming dress is pretty and my daughter thought the changing bit is "amazing" - in reality the outer part of the skirt has a drawstring ribbon sewn in a third of the way down, opening at the back with a plastic "pull". So, when you pull on the ribbon at the back, the outer skirt is pulled tight, ballooning the top bit and revealing the glittery underskirt lining. Sounds complicated when written down, but in fact, very simple and I grudgingly admit, reasonably effective.

Now for the "music". She sings two songs from the movie. While she can sing alone, it is fairly obvious it is part of a duet and really works best with her Barbie doll friend. One of her Barbie hands has a little push down button in the palm, when pressed she sings. The idea is that if you own both dolls you can make them hold hands, pressing the buttons simultaneously, and make them sing in harmony and at the correct time. This is a better idea that the last Barbie duo singing dolls where you had to press the buttons on their backs, but still suprisingly tricky. We found it very hit and miss, more often than not only one doll would start singing, and now my daughter puts them on the floor and presses them each herself. The actual sound quality is as average as all the other dolls. Not great but ok: you can hear the words clearly enough and it is a decent volume. Thankfully, there is an off button in the form of a big button that also lights up her necklace. So, if you get out of sync and trying to get both dolls to sing the same song, not too painful to listen to!

So, from an adult's perspective, this is just another barbie doll with a pre-recorded set of 2 tunes and a little light up button, making it very expensive in comparison to other barbies. However, for my 5 yr old who has played and played with them, they are beautiful, sparkly, wonderful singers and her new best friends..

You can really interact with Glimmer the Flying Horse! Take Glimmer on a magical flying adventure - with her awesome light up wings and mane she'll look amazing!

The Best Toy to date!!, 04 Nov 2008
My daughter was given this doll last christmas and wow!! It talks, asks for her bottle, blanky & teddy. It says "I love you mummy" and more!

Our daughter will not entertain any other doll, it has to be 'Emma' every time. She smells sweet, looks cute and is very amusing to see even for us parents.

We're considering whether to get her another one so that she can play with both or have one as a back up as she almost lost it once.

I would give this toy & it's accessories 11/10, perfect for girls age 3+ - Well Done Fisher Price!!

My Baby - Fisher Price, 05 Oct 2008
My (then)three and a half year old was given this doll for Christmas last year. It is one of them most worthwhile presents she has ever had - she plays with "Sarah" virtually every day in all sorts of made up scenarios. Yes, agreed with the other reviews who say the mechanism is a little noisy but that is absolutely the only down side. I think the doll has a really sweet little face and like the fact she has hair (can stand bald dolls - both my kids were born with a headful of hair, perhaps that has something to do with it!!)- in fact, I find myself covering her up if my daughter has left her lying around on a night time - yes, I know I need to get out more. My daughter has had endless hours of fun playing with this toy. I asked her what she wanted to say about Sarah to someone who was thinking of buying another Sarah. Her words were,"She talks, she moves, I love playing with her, she's my favorite doll and I love her".

Chucky Lives!!!, 01 Jan 2008
I spent several days arguing with Fisher Price over the misleading advertising campaign being used. This doll does not learn and speak its own name ( the advert implied it learnt the name Emma and responded to it by saying "My Name Emma"). This is not the case, and the doll only responds to the name given by saying "My Name Mommy". The adverts then disappeared for several weeks, and were replaced by a new advert - this is still not very clear either!! At the moment, my daughter is terrified of this doll, probably because it's movements are very noisy and robotic. I'm sure she will get used to it in time. If Chucky had a child, this would be it!!!

Lovely baby even when switched off, 18 Dec 2007
I bought this doll for my six year old for her birthday in October. When you first switch the doll on you have to give her a name, my daughter chose Allysia, which is not the easiest to pronounce especially for a sudden shy six year old who then said it different every time so the doll kept on asking for the name to be repeated. So I had to say the name and it now responds to me, but apart from that, this is a really cute little doll. She switched it on a couple of times and its really clever and responds to her teddy and asks for her bottle and then takes it and giggles when you tickle her and pulls her blanky up when you place the magnets in the blanket next to her hand... All very clever.

But now two months down the line the batteries are flat but my daughter (and her little sister) haven't even noticed and still loves to play with her because she is nice and small and cuddly and smells nice with the cutest face and hair. Not big and bulky and bald like a lot of baby dolls.

Overall a good buy, with or without batteries!!

my baby, 21 Nov 2007
i bought this doll for my daughters birthday.she loves it and takes it everywhere.the good thing about this doll is you can name it and it responds to the name you give it,

Disappointed with Barbie Mariposa Doll, 02 Aug 2008
This doll is very pretty and appealing to little girls, the idea of the winged Barbie is excellent but I feel not enough research went into the durability and play factor of the doll, the wings constantly fall off which frustrates my Daughter (and myself as I have to constantly re-attatch the wings), they don't close easy and still the wings fall off...For the amount of money I paid I expected a higher quality product from such a succesful company like Mattel.

Lovely looking doll, 27 Jul 2008
This is a truly lovely looking doll. But one massive problem. The wings WON'T STAY ON! If you just pick up the doll to look at it. They just drop off. A royal pain in the butt, to have to fix them on every 5 mins.

I've taken the wings off for god now!

The backs of the wings look shabby too.

Not made to the good same standard as the Fairytopia batch of Barbies.



wot a let down not up to usual barbie standards, 03 Jun 2008
the toy arrived & as usual took forever to get out of the box!
the wings are a nightmare to fit & fall off they do not close properly & keep popping open. my 4 year old wanted this as a reward for sleeping well
for a month. she really looked forward to having this but is very dissapionted & its just ended up & the bottom of the toy box a waste £14.97!

come on mattel pull your fingers out
