Merissa Doll Barbie Fairytopia Mermaidia

Includes every thing expected with a modern doll. Worth the price. Accessories did the job

My daughter really liked this doll, unfortunately, a very long delivery, although when ordering, I paid for AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping

great toy, My daughter loves taking it in the bath with her

This Merissa Doll Barbie Fairytopia Mermaidia is great because the tail is attatched, and therefore, doesn't fall off. My daughter is thrilled. This doll is pretty and sturdy. The "tatoos" don't show up very well, which is why I didn't give this product 5 stars. But, parents, if you are looking for a mermaid for the tub, this one is a great buy--I think I paid $[...] (the others, with a detatchable tail, were $[...]!).

I love the Mermaidia line of dolls! This doll is really pretty and goes well with my collection of mermaid dolls. I highly recommend her to anyone who loves mermaids!

I bought this doll for my daughter because she wanted to "magically" change the hair color and add color to the arms and torso. Although she loves her doll, we were disappointed because we couldn't get the colors to work. I called Mattel to find out if we had a defective doll or if we weren't using it correctly.The person I spoke to from Mattel told me that only the streaky hair will change color. Based on trial and error, I discovered that the water has to be very very warm like bath water in order for the color change to work. My daughter told me that her friends at school are putting the hair into their mouths and sucking on it to change the color. Lukewarm water and cold water (per instructions) do not work.I was also told that the patterns on the arms and torso are very subtle and not vibrant like the picture on the box. She told me that the box is deceiving. You have to use icy, very cold water for this to work (note this temperature water will not work on the hair). When my daughter was playing with it at night, we could barely see any patterns. However, it was more noticeable in the daytime in a bright room.Overall a decent doll. I would suggest not buying these dolls just for the "magic" features. It's a good doll for little girls because there are no small parts except for the wand. It would work also as a bath toy although the Mattel person I spoke to didn't recommend soaking it in water too long or it may get waterlogged. I would have given this doll higher marks but I hesitated because of it's mediocre "magic" features.

These mermaid Barbies were the best barbies we've bought. They are durable and have lasted through multiple vacations to hotels which housed both bromine and chlorine swimming pools and visits to the ocean. They are a favorite bathtime toy. The color and tattoos have lasted through all of this. I rated these Barbies as educational because not only do they learn about water dynamics and buoyancy but when my girls play Barbies, they learn about appropriate social interaction. This is a real world skill that will help them throughout their lives.
