Like most children, as my daughter gets older,
her taste in toys change. She is going to be 10 soon, so she is at an age where
traditional dolls are on the way out, but she doesn’t want to give up doll
play completely. She still believes in fairy tales, princesses and happy
endings, so the toys she looks for in that genre need to be age appropriate
where she can still believe in the magic of fairy tales, but through role play,
can express herself as a growing girl. S-K Victory has just launched a new line
of dolls called Fairy Tale High, that let her do just that.
About Fairy Tale High Dolls
Enter the magical world of Fairy Tale High®, a
place where magic happens and beloved fairy tale characters come together for
the first time ever in a modern-day high school setting. Toting the latest
accessories and sporting designer fashions and hip hairstyles, teenage fairy
tale dolls are brought to life as they might have been before they became fairy
tale princesses. Fairy Tale High features a collection of beautifully designed
fashion dolls, along with a series of webisodes and eBooks found for free at
www.fairytalehigh.com, that showcase each character’s teenage story, revealing
the qualities that will eventually make them princesses and the not-so-perfect
flaws that trip them up along the way. As students in a performing arts high
school, these hip and trendy teenage characters develop their talents and learn
new ones as they study music, dance, art, and acting while dealing with
romances, jealousies and personal challenges along the way. With guest
appearances by classic heroines and villains like Victoria, the Wicked Witch of
the West; Pinocchio, who cannot tell a truth; and many others, Fairy Tale High
is for the princess-loving girl who is looking for one she can relate
to.
Dolls in the line include:
Belle, Little Mermaid, Alice, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Tinkerbell.
My daughter recently received 3 Fairy Tale
High Dolls for review.
I honestly wasn’t sure if these dolls were
going to appeal to her as they didn’t fit the traditional princess look she
normally likes. However, when she first laid eyes on them she loudly exclaimed,
“These dolls are AWESOME!”
Teen Tink is the most eccentric looking of the 3. With her bright green streaked hair and flashy neon outfit, she’s definitely a fun one! Her accessories include a cute butterfly hair bow and a set of detachable wings.
Teen Beauty is super cute with her fashionable
outfit and accessories that include bracelets and a tiara! Her hot pink hair
streaks add just a touch of rebel to the doll, which really appealed to my
daughter.
Teen Rapunzel was by far my daughter’s favorite. With her long, flowing hair, my daughter spent a lot of time playing with her locks alone! While Rapunzel didn’t come with any extra jewelry or attachments like the other two, she was still the most played with doll.
The dolls have seen a lot of play over the past few weeks. They have so far stood the test of my daughter’s rough play with them. She has flung them around, tossed them across the room, and dropped them a few times. What do you expect when Teen Tink is the only one with wings and insists on giving her best friends rides while she is learning to fly and navigate the skies all at the same time?
The dolls are definitely durable, and I like
that the creases in the joints are all bendable. It makes posing the dolls much
easier, especially for little hands. I do want to point out that these dolls are
a tad bit bigger than other dolls similar to these, so they did not fit in her
doll cars or other clothes she currently owns.
Adding to the fun, little girls can log on to
www.fairytalehigh.com and watch exciting webisodes, as well as read each
doll’s e-book story!
The new Fairy Tale High dolls are by far
Allison’s new favorite toy, and the other 4 dolls have shot straight to the top
of her holiday wish list for this year. Overall, I am very pleased with them,
and I would definitely recommend them for any little girl who loves doll
play.
Fairy Tale High Dolls have a retail price of
$17.99, and can be purchased at Toys R Us, Walmart, and online retailers.
