We bought these for my daughters for Christmas 2010 aged 3 & 5 as they are into all things pink and Barbie certainly covers that ground! They were thrilled to have them and spent quite a bit of time with the dolls "changing outfits" with a lot of adult help! The music was fun too as they had the CD from the Fashion Fairytale DVD set. So all in all it was great. However, one of the dolls belt buckle came off (now irretrievably lost) and the music doesn't work unless you use a pin. So a bit disappointing on that front. Luckily this didn't deter them from playing with them. However as with most toys kids either LOVE them and can't live without them or forget they exist. The latter seems to be the case- that said their Barbies have had a revival recently. Lots of changing clothes etc... which is great. This particular Barbie can only wear the dress she comes in, which isn't a problem as it is so pretty. So it's a pretty average doll fun and if your little girl likes Barbie I am sure she'll enjoy this for a while.
