Toys and Games Reviews of Mattel High School Musical Gabriella & Troy 2-Pack

Customer Review: High School Musical Troy and Gabriella
Summary: 3 Stars

I recently purchased this set for my 10-year-old daughter. She was delighted! Unfortunately, we have been unable to figure out how to get the dolls to sing simultaneously. The direction sheet seems simple enough, but simply following the picture how-to is not adequate to ensure that the dolls will sing together. Otherwise it sounds something more like an acutal high school musical... In addition, her four-year-old brother got a hold of it and 30 seconds later Troy is a bilateral amputee at the pelvic region. These dolls are not like the ones in the era I grew up in whose legs could simply be popped back into place. Once, these dolls are broken they are fairly useless unless you have a reconstructive surgery degree from Mattel Medical School. I am still trying to figure out some way to salvage my $[...] investment with a little Super Glue, but I am not having much luck yet. If your child loves High School Musical, this is a great way to allow them to use their imagination and put on their own production. Just use great care if you have a little brother in your household.

Description of Mattel High School Musical Gabriella & Troy 2-Pack

Celebrate the fun and music of Disney's High School Musical with the ever-popular Troy and Gabriella. Each figure in the two-pack is fashionably dressed in an outfit from the movie, and plays a song clip from the movie. Requires 6 "AG13" batteries, included. Measures 12" tall.
Bring the songs of the hit movie "Disney's High School Musical" into your home with its popular couple--Troy and Gabriella. Ideal for ages 8 to 12, each doll plays a song clip from the movie and comes dressed in a cool HSM outfit.

Introducing Troy and Gabriella
With red-and-white pants, a white jacket, and red jersey, Troy Bolton is dressed to shoot some hoops for the Wildcats. Duplicating an authentic outfit from the movie, Troy's doll-sized clothes are removable and easy for the little ones to slip on and off. His arms move smoothly at the elbow--a good thing, because Troy is not just a singer, he is also the school's star athlete. Gabriella Montez, dressed smartly in a red dress with gold jewelry, is coming out of her shell. Her dark hair is long enough for little girls to style--they can pull it back in a ponytail or even attempt a braid. However, her elbows aren't bendable and her high heels fall off at the slightest touch. Both dolls have a pushbutton on the back that plays the song clips when pressed. During the testing process, the button was accidentally pressed more than once, which caused Gabriella to sporadically break into song. With textured hair and HSM outfits, these 12-inch dolls possess an incredible likeness to the characters.

Not Your Average Dolls
Kids who love High School Musical will enjoy singing along with these two. Not only do they sing a duet, they can also be played with and dressed like a regular Barbie. As a refreshing alternative to run-of-the-mill fashion dolls, Gabriella and Troy have clothes that replicate the outfits in the movie. Their limbs move smoothly: Both the dolls have posable knees that snap easily into place and Troy's arms can move into any position. Two separate stages (included) hold the dolls up as they sing, and children can create a performance area. Additional High School Musical characters are available for purchase.

The Audition
As the dolls were brought into the testing room for an impromptu audition, it became easy to see why the musical is so popular. Breaking Free, the song sung by both Troy and Gabriella, rings in your ears long after the sound clip stops. The dolls can sing the duet together, by pressing both the buttons at the same time, or they can sing individually. Both their voices sound just like the musical and kids will enjoy belting out lyrics with the dolls. The sound clips are a little short in length, but their voices are loud and a full-length song might irritate some parents. Fitting Troy and Gabriella on their individual stages proved difficult and Gabriella lost a shoe in the process. Despite some minor drawbacks, these performers passed their audition with flying colors.


Pros

  • Cute outfits just like the characters
  • Two stages come included
  • Sound clips are loud and clear
  • Posable limbs
Cons
  • Difficult to situate dolls on stage
  • Pushbutton engages when barely touched
  • Gabriella's high heels slip off too easily
