5.0 out of 5 stars What a pretty doll - just had to have her - and reasonably priced!
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024
Mattel has designed some very cute and pretty face sculpts lately, and I could not resist a fantasy-hair mermaid doll (designed by Angel Kent with the Odile face sculpt). This doll's printing is a bit pixilated, but I can overlook that, given how cute she is. Her lavender hair with pale pink top streaks is very soft and manageable, although straight out of the box she did shed a little. I brushed the hair and trimmed loose ends, and the shedding stopped for the most part. Her mermaid body is very pretty with sculpting details that are painted in a coordinating color scheme to match her hair. The arms only move lateral/rotate at shoulders, and there is articulation at the hip area so she can sit with her tail straight out. I bought her for $11 - could not pass up that deal, because I wanted her to put her head on an articulated body with legs. (Plan to use the mermaid body in a custom project.) This is a super nice play-line doll that came new in box in perfect condition - very happy with this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Doll!
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024
First off, This Barbie is absolutely stunning! Her hair is a soft, silky Saran mix, and her face is resin printed; that means this doll should hold up to some pretty heavy play, which is perfect for a mermaid doll! The doll does have printed details on her top which are printed only on one side (the front), but overall is still decent quality.
She has movement at the head, shoulders and hip, which is standard for mermaid dolls at this price point, but I’d really love to see Mattel put in a “knee” and elbow joint for more versatility!
If you are like me and bought this doll primarily for the gorgeous face up, she is a perfect match for the Made to Move tennis player from 2023/2024.
Overall, if you have a mermaid fan in your life who loves dolls, this is a brilliant choice for a fun gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024
I did initially buy her only to rebody as I do love the Odile headsculpt + her makeup, but I ended up loving her mermaid body as well. Ofc the face is gorgeous and you can't even notice the pixelation people are talking about, her soft blush, gradient lips and shimmery cheeks are incredible. She's rebodied in a tennis girl made to move body with a shrunken waist in the first pic, the waist was shrunken so that she would fit a peach dress from a fashion fever outfit set. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and very soft saran, which I believe is the preferred fiber for Barbie collectors.

Now onto the mermaid body, very pretty sculpt and beautifully painted with a few sparkly spots. It has very limited articulation and a detachable tail fin, not great for collectors but pretty sturdy for children. I saw another review saying that the fin doesn't stay on, but I believe they were putting it on backwards. If you attach the side with the pink gradient facing the front the fin is quite secure, requiring a bit of effort to remove it. Overall while I do wish the body had elbow articulation I also understand this is a $10 doll that many children will take to the pool/beach/bathtub.

Overall I'd recommend it for both adult collectors and children, she's a gorgeous doll!

5.0 out of 5 stars Saran Hair & Beautiful face!
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024
This is a beautiful mermaid doll. My only complaint is availability! The dolls from this set sold out so quickly, and I'm waiting for them to come back in stock to get the other ones.

This mermaid uses the "Odile" face mold, and a resin-print face screening (aka "pixel face") though she is BEAUTIFUL!

The hair is a light purple color with pink streaks int he front, and it is made of saran.

The body is basic with a molded on & painted on seashell top and mermaid tail, and no fabric fashions.
The articulation is basic with movement at the head, shoulders and hip joint so she can sit.

The doll only has one accessory; a seashell headband that is attached using plastic t-tags.

This doll is work the price for the hair quality and the beautiful face alone! I do recommend

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful doll--but tail won't stay on
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
I got this doll mainly for the reason I think a lot of collectors did: the beautiful rare face sculpt and the fantasy hair that's actually made with good quality fiber (in this case, saran). On those points, this doll is stunning! Her face is perfect (minimal pixilation) and her hair is very nice indeed. However, disappointingly, no matter what I do, her tail will not stay on! The end part is supposed to snap in, and apparently does, but whenever I move her it just pops right back out! While that's less of a problem for an adult collector like me who will mostly have her on a shelf, that's very bad for anyone who wants their kid to be able to play with this. I know I would've been upset at having a "broken" mermaid! So, if you want to keep her a mermaid rather than body-swapping her onto a regular Barbie body, you may have to glue the tail in rather than relying on the snap-in-place system mattel is using.
And if you do want to body-swap her to make her a regular Barbie, her skin perfectly matches the Asian Tennis Player made to move Barbie!

I love this doll. She’s one of my favorite mermaid Barbie dolls. Took a bit to get her but she’s worth the wait. Her face mold is beautiful and so is her soft hair and fin/tail. I definitely recommend her!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Mermaid Barbie
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024
Though this is a play-line doll, the makeup is exceptionally pretty. She is just as lovely as the photos show. I'm sure any mermaid-loving child would enjoy her, but she's also great for doll collectors. She matches the Barbie tennis player made-to-move doll really well if you want to put her head on a non-mermaid body, so they're good to buy together.
