Toys and Games Reviews of BARBIE Mariposa Doll
Customer Review: mariposa
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, don't beleive one of the previous reviewer who said the wings didn't remove - they are removable. And they are attached quite well so they won't fall off.
Overall, this doll is very pretty. Unlike Rayna and Rayla, she has fair skin and her outfit is removable. I wanted to add Mariposa to my collection of fairies but didn't want to buy the one with big wings as I don't have much space in the room so it would be not easy to display her, and couldn't find this one... But finally she's here.
All the dolls of Mariposa line have very beautiful packages, so I quite understand the kid who keeps her in box.
The only thing that dissappointed me a bit is her hair, it's rooted not quite well and she ocassionally looses hair. I had the same problem with Fairytopia Dandelion, however with Rayla everything is OK, that's why I expected better quality. And her hairstyle is not quite durable: the piece of thread which holds the fringe on the right is not fixed well. It doesn't really matter for a collector like me, but children who are going to play with her a lot can find it dissappointing too.
Still, she's very beautiful.

Such a pretty doll. Her hair is silky soft and the headband and wrap around shoes are so unique. Her wings do fall off too easily, but are easily put back on and Mariposa can be played with without them on. I am writing this review 10 months after purchase so here are the drawbacks. Depending on the age of the child playing with the doll the shoes are fragile and the straps break. If the child steps or sits on the wings when they are off, they can be broke in half;or maybe she bent them with her hands. And worst of all, somehow the neck has become limp. Her head will not stay up and it just flops around. Either the joint is a new type that doesn't last or my granddaughter somehow broke it. Also the velcro on the little dress has lost it's ability to stick and I had to get another dress. This doll is done.
Perhaps the butterfly dolls should be only for display. But most 'little' girls like to play with their dolls.
Customer Review: Hello Barbie
Summary: 5 Stars
I was actually very impressed when I got this doll for my daughter. Mariposa has an actual figure. She's fairly well proportioned, unlike the older Barbies. Of course that means that the old clothes don't fit quite right on these, or more precisely the Mariposa clothes will not fit on older dolls. At all. Not that it's much of a problem.
Overall it's a very pretty doll. She has a real dress, unlike the Rayna, Rayla, and Willa dolls which only have skirts and painted on bodices. She also comes with shoes which they don't have either. I have yet to get Mariposa's wings off but who really wants butterfly wings wandering loose around the house anyway? I was also pleasantly surprised that the glitter on the wings doesn't come off. After much handling it's all still there. So overall, a very nice doll at a very good price.
Customer Review: This butterflie faerie is the most beautiful i've yet to see
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a butterflie faerie doll and I LOVE it!!!!!! it is sooooo pretty!!
As the previous reveiw said, (about the tiara) it is sewn into her head so warn your children about it. the wings are made of a flexible plastic and they can take a beating. likewise, the Fairytopia Magic of the Rainbow
Glee, Sunburst and Lumina dolls can take a beating as well. the clothing is great, for show dolls I am working on making a dress by hand simalar to this (my mother wants me to start my own clothing line)
The makeup is fantasticand expresses Mariposa well and i love it. i want to get all the dolls in this collection.
hope this helps,
Mariposa
(yes this is my name)
Customer Review: This barbie is really beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
this barbie is very beautiful;my friend has it and keeps it in a case so it won't get riuned. the makeup and Mariposa's expression makes her look beautiful and mysterous. my mom won't let me get it though. her hedband is sewn on so moms, please try not to let your kid get it off because you might have one (or 2) unhappy kids and a mess of super-glue
(this happened to one of my dolls from the 12 dancing princesses)
overall, this toy is great and is at a good price. (please ignore the prevoius reveiw) I suggest not to get the magic wings doll. (the wings are made of fabric)
