BarbieDreamtopia Merman Doll, Blonde Hair

Great gift for my daughters birthday she loves the color and detail hours of fun in the bathtub good buy

My 2 year old son has been into mermaids since going to Vegas and seeing a mermaid performers in a fish tank. I got him the girl mermaid as well but he loves the merman beat probably cuz he sees himself in the Merman. He did loose the necklace though. As someone already said I wish it was somehow attached. But other than that, a really good toy.

Barbie has been released as a mermaid countless times, but before this toy, Ken was only given an official release as a merman once (to my knowledge, at least) - and sadly, that doll had almost everything that I believe can possibly ruin a doll (limited articulation, molded-on clothes, etc.). So much as I've been wanting to see a Ken merman, I took a pass on that one. Now, they release this gem, and he's exactly what I've been longing for!He has absolutely no molded on clothes whatsoever - though his tail is molded to him, much like the Dreamtopia mermaids (though that's no big deal to me, since merfolk really do have tails attached to their bodies, don't they?). He has a necklace and two wrist cuffs that can be removed too. I would've liked it if he had "real" hair instead of molded plastic hair, but I imagine they probably built him with the intention of water play, and short doll hair can be harder to manage (especially when wet), so I see why they did this. The only downside is his limited articulation. His head, shoulders (both up and down and side to side), and waist (to the front only) can move, but nothing else. I would've liked to see him have a bit more articulation in his arms and tail (much like how Finnegan Wake's doll was articulated with Monster High). Still, I'm just so excited to have an official merman Ken doll done this well that I won't consider it worth dropping a star over.On the whole, this is a very handsome and well-designed doll! I certainly hope this won't be the only Dreamtopia merman! Great work, Mattel - please keep it up!

I got this for my little sisters birthday. a year later she still plays with him. he is still looking in great condition. He’s been in the bath and in the pool and we’ve had no problem with him.

My daughter has been bugging hard for a male mermaid doll, while product was quality. This male doll was more than double the price of the female. I don’t understand why the male dolls cost so much more and you don’t get any extras.

Quality is questionable and the price is high for 2016 but there is little to no mermrn and she had to have it . He is quite handsome and matches well with his Barbie friends. The tail can come off and on for cleaning. His colors are great his head is a little off with gaps on one side like other reviewers said but we will try our best to keep him in good shape. His necklace falls off easily I wish it was fixed into his neck. We use in in our pool for a mermaid show ! Overall happy because she’s happy to have a merman !

My grandkids are obsessed with mermaids. Somewhere my four year old grandson must have seen a merman because he started asking for one for Christmas. I know this is just a Ken doll with a fin, but it was the only merman I could find. It also looked like a sturdy, colorful, perfect merman toy. My two-day shipping turned into two weeks, so I disappointedly did NOT get this for Chrismas, but the day AFTER Christmas. There were also some other not-so-good issues with Amazon in receiving this, but I finally got it and my grandson LOVES it. And, it is as I thought, a sturdy, colorful, perfect merman. I definitely recommend it for the little mermen in your life.

Was Christmas gift. Daughter loved.
