Toys and Games Reviews of Rani's Coral Cove PlaysetCustomer Review: Highly recommended Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little afraid to get this toy after the negative reviews, but I'm glad I did. I bought this and the Bess playset after buying and being impressed by the Tinker Bell set. In addition to the stairs, vanity, and clamshell bed (which has a removable cushion and can be opened, closed, and swiveled), the set comes with a pretty light catcher on a stand (bigger than the bed) to use as a backdrop (it would also be very pretty on a bedside table in front of a lamp) and a detachable "headboard" that can also be worn as a comb in a little girl's hair. The "pearls" on the comb are temperature sensitive and will darken when moistened with icy water using the included applicator. The color change was dramatic on the pink and blue pearls (they deepen in color), but barely noticeable on the yellow ones, and it lasts only briefly. Still, my seven-year-old loved it. The "flying" function of the toy is just that the fairy has a little loop that can be hooked over a vine (not easy to do...not worth the hassle).
At full price, this set might be a little overpriced, but the clearance price is a great bargain. There's a lot of possibilities for imaginative play with these sets, particularly when they are combined. The fairies in these sets are the same size as Polly Pockets, so they can have "sleepovers" in the fairy beds. My daughter absolutely loves these. My only hesitation would be that they appear very fragile, but so far we have not had any breakage, and my daughter does tend to be a bit rough. Also, they are ridiculously difficult to get out of the package. But other than that, I highly recommend this Rani set. Get the Bess and Tinkerbell sets, too, if you can. The fairies like to visit each other.
If you anticipate gift-giving opportunities to come, get several sets. These would make impressive gifts. I can see these fairy sets being appropriate for ages 3 (with supervision) to maybe 9 or so, and the sets are so beautiful, many fairy fans would love having them as decorative items into their teens.
