Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Baby Annabell® is just like a real baby with realistic features and she now reacts to your voice! When you talk to Baby Annabell® she turns her head to the left or the right depending on where your voice is coming from. She babbles, gurgles and sucks on her dummy. When she drinks from the water-filled bottle she makes sucking sounds and once she has finished drinking, she burps and falls asleep. She slowly opens and closes her eyes. If she is woken by noise she cries - and real tears roll down her cheeks but singing soon hushes her. Requires 4 AA batteries (not included). For ages 3 years and over.

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She fell in love with her at first sight on Christmas morning. My problem is the battery use. You can't use anything except top quality (i.e. top price) batteries. If you use standard batteries or rechargeables there is not enough top end power when she cries. If this happens she just turns herself off and won't do anything until you unscrew the battery compartment and remove and replace a battery (not terribly convenient). Then she works fine again until she is next fed and cries. It took us some time and an e-mail or two to Zapf to work this out (they recommended only Duracell M3 or Energiser ultimate batteries) as there is no mention of this in the instructions and we even went as far as getting a replacement Annabell only to find the same thing happened.
In itself this might not be an issue, but played with regularly I am having to change the batteries every 10 days or so as they get to about 50% used and the same thing happens again. So it's expensive and a hassle. Basically it must just be a bad design that the crying requires so much power the batteries can't support it. I am stuck with it as my daughter loves her so much (although she has mentioned that it would be nice if Annabell wasn't so heavy), but if I wasn't it would be going back.
So in summary my daughter loves her, but as a parent I certainly wouldn't recommend this version to anyone else.

We have had various dolls before this one- previous versions of baby annabelle and baby chou chou, baby born and from my daughters' point of view, this is definitely the best. They love the 'real' tears and she has been played with by my 8, 6 and 4 year old with great enjoyment. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that I have some doubts about durability- twice already the doll has stopped working until the batteries have been taken out and put back in- 2 earlier versions of this doll have already 'died' so I'm hoping it will last until next christmas at least. But a huge hit with the girls!

Avoid version 4 of this doll.
What has changed fro previous version ?
Well, this time Baby Annabell incorporates a robot body with an oscilating fan type motor just too big, and it differs so much from the soft parts of the dolls body that it makes her look like a Hunchback ...
So disappointed, 100% worse than version 3 wich was pretty good...
