Barbie Dreamtopia Brunette Water Activated Pink Streaked Reviews Summary

Light-Up Feature

Pros:

• "It is so colorful, illuminates with beautiful lights and is water-proof for bath time fun."
• "Once in the bath it automatically lights up once in water (after 1st press) and as long as its not left out of water too long."
• "It lights up either by pushing the button OR by going into the water (big plus for my kiddo who loves bringing her in the bath)."
• "The doll lights up on its own when submerged in water and creates a wonderful under water light show!"
• "The doll’s mermaid tail lights up in water or when you press the button so looks great under water or out of water."
• "The tail lights up as she swims in the tub or pool."
• "It's extremely entertaining to watch as the tail lights up in various hues and patterns."

Cons:

• "The button to light the tail is so hard to press, even for an adult!"
• "Everything about the doll is great, but the button you push to light up her tail is so hard to press that my child can't do it and I even have trouble."
• "It requires too much pressure to work, it's too high for a 3 year old girl, she can't press the button."
• "The feature that keeps lights blinking when submerged in water did not work out of package so disappointing."
• "IT DOES'NT WORK! I have spent £8 on new LR44 batteries, even though batteries were included, and it still doesn't work!"
• "The water activation doesn't work and the lights only come on when you press the little button on the doll (which is really stiff and tricky to do for kids)."
• "The light up feature when the Barbie is in the water has never worked!"

Design and Quality

Pros:

• "It’s really sturdy."
• "Her tail is very detailed and has glitter within the plastic."
• "This Mermaid Barbie doll exceeded my expectations! The attention to detail in the design and the vibrant colors of her tail are stunning."
• "Very durable, water resistant and great quality."
• "The toy is also quite well-made and has been designed with attention to detail."
• "This Barbie is very colorful and has blonde and pink hair."
• "The doll's hair is easy to brush and style, and she can even swim in water!"

Cons:

• "Which kind of Mermaid is made of very hard tail? Not moving at all."
• "One i wasn't aware it didn't bend at the waist so it could sit."
• "The tail's attachment feels a bit weak."
• "The separate fin cannot stay on no matter how much we try. My granddaughter is sad because she loves the doll, but her way of dealing was 'Just leave it off.'"
• "Her hair is also cut really choppy and uneven."
• "The tail constantly pops off."
