When she saw this doll her eyes lit up, she kissed the doll (still in the box of course) and exclaimed she's beautiful (one of my favorite words). All that day she kept saying I love Mari's doll, I want one and can I play with her. That in and of itself says a lot for a doll I would say. Especially since my granddaughter has many other dolls and quickly loses interest in them once they are out of the box.

Her dress has a lot of glitter that needs to be shaken off before she is played with. I love the fact that the wings are detachable. When she puts on other outfits and plays with the Barbie Ford Escape SUV (bought from Buy.com for $7.99) she can still play with this beautiful doll.

Educationally speaking, this doll is good for hours of make believe fun if you play with the Enchanted Forest Playset (or any other for that matter).

I think that this doll was offered for a very good price and will probably be around for years to come. I'm surely impressed.
