Barbie Rainbow Lights Mermaid Doll Review

We've been super lucky to review some of the fabulous Barbie range and with each new doll they give my daughter something more magical to help feed her imagination through role play.

The Barbie Rainbow Lights Mermaid Doll encapsulates everything my daughter loves in life, a Barbie, some lights and a rainbow. Best of all, this one reacts to being in the water. With a pink streak in her hair and a tiara making her look every bit the mermaid princess.

You activate her by pressing the button and then you dip her body into the water, her tail twinkles in a magical sequence of coloured lights, being able to put her in water makes her the perfect bath time companion, my daughter stayed in there until the bath water was almost cold because she was having so much fun.

Her lights work out of the water too, meaning she can be friends with all of the other Barbies we have, flashing her lights in a disco style.

This Barbie is part of the new Barbie Dreamtopia, an all-new magical, make-believe world imagined by Chelsea, the youngest sister of Barbie. Join Barbie, Chelsea, and her puppy Honey as they swim through rainbow rivers with beautiful mermaids and fly through cotton candy clouds with fairies. All you have to do is dream!

I love this Barbie and the fact that she isn't just limited to water play, however one thing that frustrates me sometimes is the inability to dress these Barbies with actual clothes, she is a mermaid and thats it. My daughter loves her however and I can see why, she is bright, colourful and brings plenty of light into your day.

Barbie Rainbow Lights Mermaid has an RRP of £20.99.
