Toys and Games Reviews of Hannah Montana In-Concert Pop Stage
Customer Review: If it were fully functional, it would be a smash hit!
Summary: 4 Stars
We got this on Amazon for our Hannah fan as a Christmas gift. We set it up on Christmas Eve and could not get the chanting or stage songs to work without pressing the button. It does not work automatically as it says in the directions as you pull her out onto the stage. We made sure it was in "Play" and not "Try me" mode. We hooked up an mp3 player and it works sometimes, but cuts out a lot. You have to jack with it to get it to come back on and it's frustrating. We tried a different cord and it didn't help. If everything worked properly, I think it would be simply awesome and well worth the price...much better than Barbie stuff. My daughter loves it anyway, but does get frustrated with the sound issues. She has no idea what all it is supposed to do so that's a blessing. I guess we will have to contact the manufacturer and try to get it straightened out. Just what every parent wants to do...spend your vacation on hold with customer service! We use it with the High School Musical dolls too and put their songs on the mp3 player which extends the play quite a bit (when it works). The light show is pretty neat. I'll end on a positive note.
***Update***
We tried two things that helped. One, we hooked up her little cd player instead of mp3 player and for some reason do not have the issues of the sound cutting off with the cd player. The mp3 player works fine on it's own so I'm not sure why there is a problem between it and the stage. Second, we had the external sound device (mp3 or cd player) connected, but off. This prevented the chanting and applause from working. We had to disconnect the cord completely even when nothing was plugged into it or plugged in, but off. Just wanted to add this information in case anyone else had similar issues. We are much happier with this toy now.
Customer Review: It's Okay, But It Has It's Shortcomings
Summary: 3 Stars
My daughter, like almost every young girl between the ages of six and fourteen, loves Hannah Montana. She has a number of Hannah items in her possession, and as soon as Christmas rolled around, she put her order in for the Hannah Montana In-Concert Pop Stage. Needless to say she was very excited when Santa Claus came through for her on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, though, the playset isn't everything it's cracked up to be.
There are a number of problems with the set. The primary problem is the durability of the doors that (supposedly) revolve open when Hannah comes through them. They never completely revolve, making my daughter have to stop playing for a minute to adjust the doors. Sometimes the doors pop off, even though they are properly installed. The rigging used to move Hannah from behind the curtains to the front of the stage has a lot of slack in it. The drapes hanging under the "TVs" are flimsy, and I see them being torn soon enough.
Some of the pros of this set include the fact that you can connect it to your MP3 player, CD player, etc. so that your child can "put on" a lengthy concert. It comes with snippets from two of Hannah's biggest hits, "Best of Both Worlds" and "Who Said." The light shows are a nice touch as well.
Overall, any Hannah Montana fan will enjoy this toy. I just don't see it holding up terribly long as far as the stage rigging and curtains are concerned. It's also a bit too pricey for what you get. If your child just has to have a Hannah Montana playset, I recommend the Hannah Montana Bacstage Closet. It's more portable, comes with plenty of accessories and, most importantly, doesn't need batteries!!
Customer Review: Stage Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
My girls love the stage and we got it to remember our fun time we had at the Hannah Montanna concert in Kansas City. The stage is durable and the lights are great. We did hook up an MP3 player to it but was not so impressed. I wish they would not have placed the power switch under the stage...you have to lift the stage to switch it off. If it would have been on the side, then you are not lifting the stage so much. Many different manual things you can do that add motion to the imagination and the memories we shared at the concert.
One thing that is funny....we have the Hannah doll that plays a song when the button is pressed on her belly and so when Hannah comes through the stage doors it hits and presses that button so both the doll and the stage are playing "Best of Both Worlds" which doesn't sound so good. Its been a lot of fun....turn out the room lights and see this stage light up the room!
Customer Review: Fun toy for a 6 yr old --- but price too high for what you get
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this stage for my 6 year old daughter's birthday. I am sure she would give this toy 5 stars. She has a lot of fun playing with it and loves Hannah Montana. I am just wondering how long her interest will last. The stage only plays two songs...and each song is only about 15 seconds long. If you own an MP3 or iPod, I guess it would solve this problem--there is a connection for these.
The stage has a doll stand that holds a regular sized barbie doll or Hannah Montana doll and a metal rod pull is used to make her come through the stage doors and move back and forth. That's about it. The box says "5 exciting light shows"...I can't really tell the difference between them. I would have given this toy a higher rating if it wasn't for the hefty price of $60. Now that I see it out of the box, I can't understand why they priced this toy so high. In my opinion, it is definitely not worth $60.
Customer Review: HANNAH STAGE-AWESOME TOY-TERRIBLE PRICE
Summary: 4 Stars
My 6 yo daughter loved getting this from Santa! She has had the best time playing "Conert" with her Hannah Doll, & it really is a cute toy. The sounds are good, although I think it would be better if the songs were a tad bit longer since it is a concert stage. It seems to be a sturdy piece of equipment, but the braces that hold the doll in place on the stage are a little crooked on mine, making the doll lean to one side slightly. The light show is cute, and all the extra's that come with the stage is cute...my daughter loves giving Hannah her roses after a great concert! Since ticket's to the real thing are so high, I'm guessing this is as close as we'll get! haha! I do think that the pricing for this item is way too much! I only paid $30 right before Christmas during one of the sales here on Amazon.com, but I would not have paid more for it, because I do not think it is worth it.
