Cute toy, but not overly interactive

She’s cute, but she doesn’t do much interactive stuff. She comes with an adorable kitten ear headband and a cute star accessory.

This is a super cute toy for any little fan of Gabby’s Dollhouse. She’s a magical little mermaid with the most gorgeous colourful hair and little intricate details in her outfit. The body of the toy lights up, which is cool. She says a few phrases and does a song or two, but it falls flat after that. I wish it did more. There was the opportunity to make her tail mechanically flip, this would have make the doll 100x cooler! To me, this is just another doll that kids will get bored of.

Both my daughter and son were intrigued by the lights and colours at first, but that very quickly wore off like a novelty. My daughter does engage with the toy if it is in her proximity, but it’s not her first, second, or even third choice. We don’t watch Gabby’s Dollhouse, so maybe it’s the lack of familiarity.

I would not purchase this toy for my children, but I would, knowingly, as a gift for a child who is a fan of Gabby’s Dollhouse. In such a saturated market, toys really need to stand out. We don’t just purchase toys for the sake of purchasing. My spouse and I ensure that we are getting quality toys that won’t be forgotten about when our kids get bored. Unfortunately, this was the case for our household.

She is a beautiful doll though! Bonus points for being “waterproof”.
