I admit, I didn't know she was supposed to talk when I first bought her, and pressing her left hand, I got quite a giggle at her stereotypical squeaky, girly voice that I think is saying, "Shining starfish! You bet your wish will come true!" After wrestling with the box and twisties that seem to have melted together with soon-to-be sore fingers and heavy-duty scissors to get the doll and items out, I had to take her hair out. On the box it looks lovely and voluminous, but I found, after I cut her hair out of the plastic bands and hairnet very carefully, I had to brush it! What is this nonsense?!
I thought she came with one saying (above), but found she does say more than that by switching the switch on her bum from "demo" to "on" (I guess you can cheat her into always saying your wishes will come true!). Her right hand tells you to make a wish.
Her body is hard and not very flexible, and she sits in a very awkward position with both her legs almost completely out to her sides like she's doing splits. Her hands don't move, even though they look as if they should (because of the wires to make her talk, they glued her wrists), but she moves her arms at the shoulders and her head can turn.
Her face looks a bit narrower than the commercial pictures, which is less cute, and her outfit seems to be made of cheap material.
When removing her fin-like skirt, she's wearing a bathing suit. With nothing on, she looks plain silly. And the holes in her chest for the speaker form what I can only assume is an attempt at a heart. She sports a cute little pink crown atop her head, with three sea shells that light up when she speaks.
She comes with sunglasses, a shovel and pale, and a sand castle. The sunglasses are cute, with pink tinted lenses, but they don't reach all the way behind her ears and seem rather cheap. They do seem to stay on her face okay though.
The sand castle is also very cute, but I'm not sure what the big blue thing with starfish attached to it is supposed to be (it's attached to the sand castle's platform). Perhaps a wave?
The shovel and pale are probably my favourite of her little items. The bucket is purple with a seaweed strap (hard), and the shovel looks as if it's supposed to be made of seaweed as well, with a purple shell on the end of the handle.
What's quite lovely about this all is that, once you've won the war against the box and twisties, there isn't anything that needs to be assembled, so she's ready to go right away. A nice nap together next is in order, I think. It was hard work to get her out!
Despite the doll's faults, she's adorable. If you're buying this for a child, and she (or he!) has no problem with the fact that she can't sit properly, I'm sure (s)he will love this Ariel doll. You may not if your child keeps pressing the buttons though (it's quite loud), but all you have to do is turn her "OFF" or take the batteries out (three AAA).Get more detail about Disney Little Princess - 15'' Basic Feature - Wish With Me Little Ariel.
