 "Dog loses leg" 2009-03-31
By H. Grover (White House, TN United States)
This is a cute set but the Mama dog's leg came loose in the first week and lost it in the second. I saw another set at the childcare place where my kids go and same leg was off on that one.

My granddaughters decided that this is a "Mama dog". They love the magnetic ability of the Mama to hold her baby and also the bottle that holds water. Lots of play value here.

By Brenda Hodge (Portland, OR US)
Our 6 yr old daughter thought this gift was great. She LOVES Barbies and dogs, so we couldn't go wrong. She has had no complaints and for some reason, loves to make the one puppy go potty.. too funny! Decent doll and dogs and doll seem to be holding up well.

 "Great product - BUT BEWARE of Amazon shipping bait and switch" 2009-01-02
By S. Koepper (Long Island, NY)
My 4 year old is puppy crazy. She LOVES this toy and plays with the set almost daily. Got a great price on Amazon and it was available when no one else had it in stock.



Now onto MY RANT about Amazon shipping practices...



The Rock Band order fiasco. I found Rock Band for PS2 in local stores for $150 or more. I decided to check Amazon and was please to see that it was $99. SCORE - and with Prime, I would get it OVERNIGHT for only $3.99 more. I ordered Rock Band on December 27th through Amazon prime. I paid the extra money for the "OVERNIGHT" shipping option so that it would arrive BEFORE New Years Eve (as it was planned for a party). It was scheduled to arrive on Tuesday December 30th (since the order took place over the weekend)which would have left PLENTY of time.



HOWEVER - AMAZON's useless shipping department did not send this package overnight-as I paid for. They instead decided that UPS ground would suffice since it was shipping within the same zone. HERE is the problem with this fraudulent practice - UPS, like any other shipper prioritizes it packages based on actual shipping service purchased. Since this item was a GROUND package, it sat on the truck ALL day and ultimately was returned to the distribution center AFTER 7:00 PM. Also, since it was GROUND, it did not go out for delivery on the following day (12/31) since this was a limited service day for air packages only. AGAIN, if Amazon had shipped it properly, it would have been delivered on 12/31. REMEMBER I PAID for OVERNIGHT service.



I was able to prove this shipping problem was caused by Amazons practice of not properly handling a shipment, based on another order. The second order was also place with Amazon prime on MONDAY 12/29. Since it was not urgent, I opted for the FREE 2nd Day delivery. That package actually shipped via 2nd day air (as expected) and due to class of serivce (air) it was delivered on 12/31 (the holiday). It is now FRIDAY 1/2 and I still have not yet rec'd my Rock Band order. IT WILL BE REFUSED WHENEVER IT IS FINALLY DELIVERED as I bought the exact same product from Walmart on Wednesday morning for the SAME PRICE.



I complained to Amazon about this and the best they would do is refund my shipping and offer me $5.00 off my NEXT purchase. Why would I purchase from them again after this terrible experience.



In summary - BEWARE OF THE SHIPPING Bait and Switch! Use Amazon's site for your research and customer reviews. If you like the item and want to buy it, see if you can get it local for the same deal - if so TAKE IT. Don't trust Amazon's shipping dept. or expect good customer service! If they keep this up - they will go the way of SO MANY companies today and be gone in a heartbeat.

I didn't think this product only made lip gloss...I thought it made hair color to color the hair. You can't even use the lip gloss on the doll. No little girl needs that much lip gloss!!

 "My lipgloss is poppin'" 2009-02-18
By Shani Bryant (Omaha, NE)
This toy is a lot of fun. Tons of entertainment. My child used most of the lip gloss mix to style the dolls hair which was fine with me. Just meant less lip gloss I would have to sneak and wipe off. She got the hair of the doll all kind of greasy...LOL. The glitter wand is a lot of fun to use even if you are not making lip glosses. I did wish they gave you more lip gloss canisters, my child likes mixing colors. We are all out of lip gloss making materials but she still styles the dolls hair. I bought more glitter to put in the wand.

 "Fun at first, but not for long term use." 2009-02-15
By teachermom (Pennsylvania)
My daughter was so excited to get this for Christmas, but once she mixed her first batch of gloss, that was it. She hasn't used enough "gloss" to empty the containers to do it again. Plus, once she saw how it worked, it didn't really catch her attention to do it again. She doesn't even use the gloss anymore either.

I'm kind of disappointed with this product. Other than making the gloss, there isn't anything else to do with it.

Thank you for fast shipping, the doll is in perfect condition. I collect Barbies and my sister had this doll as an original, had given it to me and wanted it back when we grew up. Thank you for giving me a replacement. This was my birthday gift this year. She looks better than our original.

 "An improvement over the 35th Anniversary Repro" 2010-02-19
By JayDee (Virginia)
I owned the 35th Anniversary reproduction of Barbie #1. If you owned the previous doll released in 1994, you might want to consider buying this doll as well. Its actually an improvement! One of the problems I had with the 1994 doll was the hair. The 2009 repro is far superior. The 1994 doll had a shade of blonde that was a bit too mousy. This doll has just the right blonde shade more faithful to the original. The hair style on this one, though the hairline is a little low, is more faithful to the original as it has kinky bangs as opposed to the "bobbed" bangs of the original repro. Another big improvement is the doll stand. This doll has holes in the bottom of the feet (like the original dolls) that allow it to sit on the spokes of the stand. The 1994 doll had a clumsy doll stand that squeezes around the waist. This 50th anniversary doll's stand is much user friendly, as the original doll's stand.



Deficits of this version? The adhesive used for holding up the bathing suite is a real minus! If you were to take off the bathing suit, you'd have to tear through the adhesive holding it to the doll. This is a really badly thought out detail. The 1994 reproduction used clear plastic straps to keep the suit on the doll. If you don't mind the adhesive sticking to her boobs if you chose to put on the accompanying outfit, then this might not be a big deal. This review just finds it needless. Also, why does Mattel have to staple the head to the box? Its incredibly difficult to cut the plastic staples the way they are attached to head. This really seems like a pointless bit of packing and worse...you have staples sticking from under her hair once you cut it away.



Bottom line. If you want a more affordable version of Barbie #1, this is your gal. Unfortunately, Mattel sees fit to package this doll in such a way that you are forced to deal with staples in the head and adhesive on the boobs. But then, Barbie was a modern gal so maybe she doesn't mind it so much.

 "Love the doll, features not so much...." 2009-12-26
By Melanie Lane
When I unwrapped my Christmas present and found the 50th anniversary Barbie doll, I was thrilled. I opened the box and for a few moments, was in a state of bliss. But then I noticed a few drawbacks.

First, Her swimsuit is glued to her chest. Huh?! Well, there goes the hope of her modeling the Solo in the SPotlight dress. Oh, well. I try to put the gloves on. Nope, that won't work either! They are too small to be worn by any of my dolls. Hmm. Okay, well, at least she can wear the necklace. I pick it up, and what do I find... no strap. No elastic. No little snap-thing. No stretching, no spaces, no way to make her wear it. It's a totally useless ring of beads.

I put the black dress on my Fashionista Girly doll, and it looks fabulous. She suits it perfectly, especially when you add the pink scarf and microphone.

I like the doll, though. She is pretty, but her forehead is too low to be exact. Her hair isn't quite the right color, and her makeup isn't perfect, but she is still cute. She is heavier and sturdier than most modern dolls. Her microphone is great- metal and adjustable in height. I love the holes in her feet that make displaying her easy. I wish all collector dolls were that way, instead of having a thick plastic pole to support them, which shows badly and doesn't even hold them up right.

Overall, I think she is a great doll and I really love her-but she's not for younger girls. She's a disply doll, not for rough play.

 "LOVE HER!" 2009-12-24
By Deborah A. Mcdonald (Athens County, Ohio)
I did not buy this "toy" for fun, or for educational value, or durability. I bought it to replace my original Barbie doll I had when I was 9 (in 1959) that disappeared when my mother started letting the grandkids play with it. I absolutely love it. This is the Barbie I remember.



Much as I would love to change her clothes and build the wardrobe I had for my original Barbie, I think I will just keep her in the box as she is and no one else will touch her.



Absolutely LOVE this doll!

I am very happy with my reproduction Barbie purchase. I am so happy they came out with these dolls again. I am new to collecting and I have this love for the real vintage ones but my pocket book says something else. This doll is just amazing in detail. I just adore the black and white bathing suit. The sunglasses. Oh my what fun. I have not taken the clothing out of the box yet but I will. I play with my Barbies and make them clothes. You will be really happy with this doll in person. She is very well made and has very pretty features.

My 11 year old daughter wanted this for Christmas. She has pretty much stopped playing with dolls but she still loves Barbie stuff.

 "Good fun for my 7-year old" 2009-02-25
By L. Pike
My 7 year old daughter enjoyed this toy a great deal. She likes matching the outfit cards to the doll cards even if not using the computer program. It's fun on the computer also but as is typical of most inexpensive computer toys there are problems. I could not get the video to work on one of my 2 computers; I could only get sound. We also found it difficult to move from one part of the program to another. Overall it is worth the money and for girls who like to play with dolls it is a fun new way to do so.

 "Barbie's Pink Dream Dining Room set" 2010-01-30
By Barbara K. King (EDGEWATER, MD)
All the pieces to Mattel's Barbie Pink furniture line are adorable and are up to date with today's fashion and design conscience little girls, but wow, talk about all the little pieces that come along with the sets that seriously are a hazard to anyone who has animals in the house. After my daughter is finished playing with her Barbies and setting up house, I have to make sure each and every time that ALL the little pieces are retrieved for the sake of my pups. If it weren't for me worrying about my little dogs, I would rest easier. As a matter of fact, I wish I had so many options with my Barbies back in the 60's. Overall, the furniture is functional and the rooms are glam! She has a lot of fun playing with her Barbies and that's all that matters most.

My daughter got this as a Christmas present and I think I've had as much setting it up as she has! They thought of everything from placemats, to napkins, to individual silverware! There is even a leaf in the table to make it wider! This is a super fun set! My one small complaint is that it comes apart easy enough that we decided to hot glue it together, but other than that, we love it!!

 "Fun but a bit wobbly" 2009-06-22
By MHT (Santa Monica, CA United States)
My kids are four a six and really wanted this. The good part is that it has a lot of accessories and can be combined with their other Barbie play sets. They love playing with all of these toys and can spend a long time in imaginative play.



There are a few negatives. It's nearly impossible to get a doll to sit at the table. They don't fit well into the chairs and they tend to fall over. I've managed to fit two dolls across the table from eachother, but that was by cantelevering their legs under the table. The other negative is that there are a ton of tiny pieces. Again, this isn't a big deal in our house (we store all tiny pieces in a container with a lid) but might be an issue in a house with smaller children.



The girls really like this toy and play with it, in conjunction with their other sets, often.
