Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Fold & Go DollhouseCustomer Review: Add some paint and PlayMobil stuff, and you're good to go! Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first dollhouse we got for our girls. I mostly bought it because of the Melissa and Doug brand name and because it was all wooden and not too big. We live in a very small house, so there just isn't room for a huge dollhouse - or even one much bigger than this one. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in it, though, when we got it home, for many of the reasons that others have already mentioned. 1) I didn't like the dolls. They weren't very posable or, well, cool looking. 2) The furniture seemed to be limited to what came with the house. And 3) it was all pretty plain. I didn't know was to do about the first two issues, but I decided to paint the house to spruce it up a bit. That made a big difference! I've uploaded a customer image of our painted house, if you want to see it. I only painted the outside. One of these days, I'll get around to painting the inside too - maybe some wallpaper? Carpeting? :)
A while went by, and we bought some PlayMobil sets - not intending to use them with this dollhouse; they were just bought for fun. In fact, it wasn't until 6 months later or so that it occurred to me that they might be an okay fit in the house. Well, they weren't an "okay" fit - they fit perfectly! That solved problems one and two. PlayMobile has just about anything you could want and a huge variety of styles of furniture, appliances, dish sets (!) - not to mention that you can create a family of people that looks exactly like your own (or whatever you want). We don't have any PlayMobil cars, so I don't know if they would fit in the garage. (I suspect they might be too big.) I've also uploaded two customer images of the dollhouse opened up with the PlayMobile furniture and people, as well as some of the wooden furniture that came with the dollhouse - you can mix and match!
With the discovery that PlayMobil products fit in the dollhouse, I only have good things to say about it. We love its small size and "carrying" feature. Out of the box, it's a bit plain, but if you think of it as a blank template, the cool thing is that you can turn it into whatever you and your kids want it to be. :)
