Entertainment for play & imagination
"My Dollhouse" cured my granddaughters cabin fever during the northeastern icy winter snows! This is a great toy for developing a child's imagination and creativity. They have spent countless hours playing with dolls, moving the furniture around and adding a few of their own creative decorations. They always make up a different story about the dolls and the house each time they play with it. Also, their friends from their kindergarden class always want to come over to play with the dollhouse.

Years of Fun!
We purchased this for my daughter when she was 2 1/2 years old. She continues playing it with almost daily at 4 years old. It's amazing and a great value.

The dolls are a little odd, but other brands (like Loving Family) fit just fine in the furniture. And my daughter (and her friends that flock to this house) don't seem to mind the cloth dolls.

I was initially concerned about the durability of this house, but it has endured many many hours of play from different kids--boys and girls. It's a hit with both. We've had such a good time with this and hours and hours of fun. It's definitely been one of the best toy purchases we've made--well worth the money!!

I have mixed feelings about this dollhouse...
I bought it for my daughter last year for Hanukkah. I really like the design of the house itself: the three completely open floors are easy for a young child to play with, and I like the bright colors and simple assembly. But I don't like the felt dolls that come with the house. They're flexible, but they don't hold a sitting position, so you can't sit them down in the chairs. And, frankly, I just think they're weird-looking!

The furniture is OK, not great--it's not as smoothly finished as similar products from well-known makers of wood dollhouse furniture, and not as well constructed--one of the chairs fell apart yesterday when she was playing with it. It's also scaled a little smaller than most other dollhouse furniture, so if you replace the funky felt dolls with standard plastic dollhouse figures, they may not fit very well. Our replacement dolls are always falling out of the chairs.

Still, the whole package is not a bad deal for the amount of money. If I were buying a new dollhouse today, this wouldn't be the one, but my daughter still likes it just fine.

My Doll House
This doll house has proven hours worth of fun and imagination. The furniture pieces are easy for little hands to maneuver, and the "family" members are flexible. There is enough room for a child to move things around, and the open floor plan allows for room changes.

This doll house that is suitable for a child as young as three, yet it has an heirloom quality to it. ... Read more

daughter loves it
my daughter ( age 3 1/2) received this as gift from her grandmother. She plays with it constantly. Her groovy girl is on a constant campout! If you have a child who likes imaginative play this is a welcome addition to your groovy girl collection.

Needs more info
Never gave size of item. Said it was for children from 3 to 8. All the other tents and tunnels advertised you could get into. This one was for a doll and never mentioned. Gave the size of the box it was shipped in but not the size of the tent.

dissapointed
this product was really dissapointing because i brought this tent for my daughter and the tent did not have the size on it. I purchase it to fit her not a doll. So i had to send it back . Please make that correction online with this product.

dissapointed
I ordered this for my grand-daughter and was dissapointed when it arrived and I saw that it was for a doll. The description made no mention of this. I purchased this for her to play IN. It listed the recommended ages and not the size of the tent. In addition to the dissapointment of seeing a doll tent, I had to pay shipping when I purhchaed the item and when I returned the item.

Worth the price
My daughter got this and other Groovy Girl stuff her 4th birthday and LOVES it! Some of the stuff seems over-priced, but this was worth what we paid for it. She has a lot of fun playing with the tent, sleeping bag, and the dolls. ... Read more

Rated by a Bratz fan
I think this is a poor excuse for a bratz. She dosn't even look cool! Her makeup is way to dark, and her hair looks like she just rolled out of bed!!! Her clothes are okay.
i like the other styles of Bratz more. Like the Strut It! collection, they look cooler and more realistic, or more like something you or i would wear.

A Different Sort Of Dana
I love the look of suspenders and that, along with the hair style and color scheme was what prompted me to buy Dana. One downside about the hair is that the cut limits styling options. When you take down the ponytail, her style turns into a mullet. I highly recommend taking it down at least once though, to give her hair a gentle wash and remove the crispy gel if it's going to be a play doll.
The clothing seems relitively durable to me, though if the owner is prone to losing little pieces then the bracelets and earrings should probably be put away.
She's very different from the other Danas, the colors are much bolder and the makeup is more apparent. I disagree that she looks like a Flava doll though. Where their style is meant to be inspired by hip-hop, FO Dana reminds me more of someone who might shop at Hot Topic and enjoy 80's punk rock.

Awesome, Punked-Out Dana!
I only recently obtained this wonderful doll, and am already convinced of her all-around awesomness! I really took notice of the individuality of the Funk Out! collection, but couldn't pick a favorite from the online pictures. However, on seeing them in person, Dana was the frontrunner. After her comes the wild, camo-girl Sasha, sultry Jade, colorful, sweet Yasmin, then a last place tie on Cloe, Fianna, and Nevra. I hope to have my favorites, or all of the dolls, eventually. Anyway, on to the details on Dana. Her makeup is darker and bolder this time, featuring cherry red lips, smoky shadow, amd dark eyeliner. Her hair is great. The long ponytail of dark mink brown is so soft and manageable. But I really love the golden-highlighted, sassoon-cut front. I found myself wishing that the whole head of hair was that length. Her first outfit is amazingly cutting-edge punk. The cute, cap sleeve red kitty top is cropped and gathered up at the sides. I love her white suspenders on that dark, pleated denim mini with the studded belt. The white, laced armwarmers are awesome, as are her red and black spike, strappy heels. Her second outfit is also wonderful. The black mesh bunny tank looks great over the heathered red tee. The snow white, belted micro mini is a perfect set off, as are the black, scrunchy boots. Finally, she has some great accessories to pull it all together: three bracelets (black, red, and white), red, cat-eye sunglasses, cute black leather purse with studs and ties, and adorable white flower earrings with red centers. All of these pieces are great for mixing and matching! I highly recommend this doll.

This can not be Dana
This does not look like Dana(I have and reviewed Girls nite out Dana)the clothes look like something a flava doll would wear I mean come on! MGAE was not thinking when thay made this doll!

pretty good but not the best
I like this doll but she is a little unrealistic for a doll. She has a huge head and giant lips. on the other hand she is short and not smiling like barbie or those cheesy my scene dolls. But it is a little mean for mga to put her in the pack and then just kick megyan out. i like meygan alot and i heard about 3 weeks ago that meygan has returned. Other then that dana is a realy nice doll. ... Read more

Cute Idea, but very poor quality
My 6 year old daughter got this for her birthday a few days ago and I had high expectations for it because of the Bratz name and price, but was very disappointed when we opened it. It is a very cute concept, but very poorly designed and very poor quality. The doors don’t stay on, don’t stay closed and the van is just constantly falling apart. I gave my daughter the option to exchange it for something else, but because it had the Bratz name on it she didn’t want to. I just don’t like the fact that they use the Bratz name to sell low quality, poorly built toys at such high prices. ... Read more

With bright eyes and outstretched arms, this adorable Cabbage Patch Kid is ready for lots of hugs. Like all of the Cabbage Patch Kids, she arrives with her very own birth date, adoption certificate and name, making her a unique collector's item--in addition to being a great playmate. Measuring a full 16-inches from head to toe, she comes with a full set of removable clothes, including a colorful striped dress, socks, sturdy plastic shoes, and a realistic diaper that can also be removed during pretend diaper changes. ...

~Great Bang For The Buck~
My 5 yo son received this from Santa last Christmas and absolutly loves it! It's really a great deal. He could have had a larger much more expensive dollhouse but chose this one because it's portable. He's had no problems whatsover w/the handles. It is made of some sort of plywood-type wood so has scratched easily...but it doesn't seem like it will fall apart any time soon and that's taking into consideration how rough my son is w/it. It comes w/a lot of furniture but we aren't happy w/the dolls as they are not made to be dressed and undressed and they are flexible rope w/kind of stumpy wooden limbs. My son became a bit frustrated when he attempted to take their clothes off only to find he actually ripped them off and he didn't like the ropey bodies. They are the same flexi-dolls I've seen at Waldorf sites. I highly recommend buying additional dolls whether the same, if that's what your child likes, or ones made differently. But this dollhouse as-is is really a great starter set and you can't beat the price. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended!
We just bought this doll house for our 5 year old daughter and it was an instant hit. For those considering making the purchase, here are my thoughts about this toy.

I think this doll house looks quaint, and for my part I think that wooden doll houses are just much nicer than plastic ones (even though there are some really cute plastic ones around). I particularly like the fact that the garage door and front door can open and close--very realistic!

The couple that comes with it is very cute and they have moveable legs, so they can sit on the furniture, etc. The furniture does not look like "real life" furniture (may be a problem for some people) but I thought it was nice anyway and also it is really sturdy. My daughter has a younger brother and we don't have to worry about him breaking anything because the pieces that came with the house are solid and well-made.

Some people mentioned the problem with the glued on labels. Perhaps the manufacturer has been reading these reviews because the labels on the house we bought came off quite easily (my 3 year old son pulled them off with no problem).

What disappointed me about this house were three things. First, although the house folds shut, which makes it portable as advertised, the handles don't fasten together. If you are carrying it you have to be careful to keep both handles together or the house will slip open and the furniture will fall out. I think they should have included a simple clasp that would keep both halves together.

Second, you can't take the clothes off the dolls. My daughter wanted to put the figures in the bath, but felt that she had to undress them first. So that wasn't a plus.

Finally, although I love the figures and the furniture, I'd like to be able to add to what I have. If you buy a more traditional type house it isn't difficult to buy more furniture. With this set, though, it would be hard to find furniture that matched.

All told, my complaints are few. I am glad we bought the toy, it was well worth the money, and my daughter loves it!

Sherry's Review
I ordered this dollhouse to keep in my home for my grandchildren to play with in years to come. Right now I have a granddaugter who will be 3 and I think she will love it. I did, however, have to spend 30 minutes getting the glue off the house from the labels.

I believe this house will bring many hours of play for my granchildren.

Captivating and Classic!
This toy house is sure to become an heirloom in our family. Although it's listed for 3 year-olds, my 2 year-old daughter took to it immediately. I don't think she really understand the rooms particularly but it's fun for her to pretend with the "Momma" and "Daddy" dolls. This house could be very much fun to paint and decorate.
My only complaint is that the labels are glued to the roof eaves and very hard to remove....why wouldn't the manufacturers use that tacky glue that comes off so easily?

I cant Believe how much comes with this set!
For this price, everyone should own this! This ... set comes fully furnished with 2 dolls! Other Dollhouses of this size are twice as expensive - PLUS my kids love it! This is a great gift ... ... Read more

Great fun - ok quality
Just bought this for my 3 year old daughter - the dolls are adorable and very nice - the stroller is ok but the sun shade would not adjust properly...and I have put together quite a few toys in the past years..so I would say that if your child wants a double stroller, it is worth the money (...) to get the 2 dolls and stroller even with the sun shade taken off.

So fun
Great for older children because if you are maybe planning to have children you'll know what to do. It is also good if you like younger children & don't have a younger sibling.

ONLY GOOD FOR A 2 year old!!
My family searched high and low for a double stroller since my daughter loves to put more than one doll in her stroller and always gets frustrated by the fact that they can't fit. Finally, she got this one for her birthday. We were so excited. Of course, she loved the babies (although we noticed that she already had the same ones), but the stroller is made ridiculously! Even though my daughter is tall for someone turning four (about 42 1/2 inches), I can tell you that anybody at her age would find this stroller extra low to the ground. It's wierd and clearly was not tested on the appropriate age group before finalizing the product. I concur with the others that the canopy is a piece of junk that broke within 1 hour of my daughter using the stroller, merely by her moving it back and forth. So, sadly enough, I had to convince my daughter that we should box up the babies and stroller and return it and promised her I would find her another one. It is not even worth the sale price if it's not a functional stroller. Maybe if your child is petite or 2/3, it would be fine. But not any older than that.

Dolls are cute, but stroller too short!
This was an Xmas gift for my 4 yr. old granddaughter. She loves the dolls and takes them everywhere. They are the perfect size for her to carry both around. She purchased other outfits for them, so they are dressed to kill. The stroller on the other hand is junk. It is so short that my granddaughter's back hurts soon after she starts pushing it. The handlebars should be adjustable and then it would be perfect. Now I have to buy the Graco double stroller so she can push that around. She has the single stroller and loves that.!

Cute dolls but ...
One of my own twins fell in love with this set of twin dolls and stroller. The dolls are cute but there is nothing that sets them apart from all the other dolls out there. She picked it mainly for the double stroller. She has had this set for one week and doesn't play with it at all. Why? The stroller's canopy falls off or it drops down on top of the babies. It's not made well! I wish we had bought the Graco twin stroller by itself, which looks like it is made more sturdy. ... Read more

There are plenty of toy cars that emphasize fast speeds, thrilling chases, and horrifying collisions. No such high-pressure motoring comes to mind when encountering this snazzy ride. It's built for cruising. Its working radio, located in the dashboard, operates by scanning for stations in much the same way a standard car radio does. While it features no digital readout of stations, the music was not hard to find when we tested it. The doors and trunk open and close and the lights and horn both work well. The car comes equipped with stickers, a pretend cell phone, and even a disco ball for added glam. --John Moe ... Read more

Very impressive doll car!
very well made and very very detailed car! I was very impressed with it, I would never have paid this much for a doll car but my 5 yr old daughter recieved it as a birthday gift. Wow, fuzzy seat covers, removable floor mats, a large trunk that opens, doors open, much better quality than her Barbie cars, not to mention the working horn, lights and radiio, that really does pick up all of you local FM stations. My daughter loves it and I can definatly see it out lasting any of her barbie cars by quite a bit, I would say one of these to 3 barbie cars so You break even with cost in the long run and get a better car.

possibly the BEST fashion doll car ever
It was a little expensive, but we broke down and got it for my little sister. This car is great. Car seat covers, stering wheel cover, opening doors, a roomy trunk (I love that you have a place to actually put stuff, when I was a kid I use to carry the stuff I pretended was in the car trunk in my pocket) and the radio ROCKS. It gives the kids a real 'play ridding' adventure with thier dolls. It also has seatbelts to enforce driving the right way and unique licence plates (brilliant move to add a unique feature to thier vehicles) And even with a lot of play, the lights still work and so does the radio, so it doesn't eat batteries. And even after rough play the car is intact and the radio still works.

Excellent job on the car MGA ... Read more
