A great new addition to pool and bathtime fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disney is BIG in our house with every family member. So when there's anything new under the sun with The Little Mermaid, you can be sure it will be high on the priority list.
Disney Princess Ariel was a big hit right away. The colors are gorgeous. The mermaid tones of pink bleeding into greens are always popular with our daughter and Ariel's lower body is a lovely example. Along the same lines, the textures are nicely implemented. This isn't a huge deal with our kids, but for some of the other children in the family with sensory issues, they loved the big scales, the smooth skin and the smaller "bumpy" scales.
The doll itself is beautiful with nicely printed eyes and features. Her hair has subtle braids that look very neat, although her non-braided hair has a tendency to get out of control, particularly after a swim.
Speaking of swimming, Ariel spends a lot of time in the hot tub or bathtub and she's a lot of fun. One thing we really love is that she floats nicely. When the bath/pool toys sink to the bottom, the kids don't seem nearly as engaged. They want to see Ariel swim, and she does! Her body acts as an air chamber and her fish legs are hollow, allowing the water to easily drain out.
Getting back to her hair, there was a little disappointment that the toy didn't come with a Little Mermaid brush. I know costs are being cut wherever possible, but for a toy with hair, there can't be enough themed brushes to keep the locks in shape.
Overall Ariel is a hit! She's definitely replaced older Little Mermaid dolls in the water playtime rotation and seems to hold up to soapy baths and the chlorine in the swim-spa. Especially considering the price point, this Little Mermaid is a winner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Way more detail for a doll than I was expecting, my daughter loves her and takes hers everywhere with us, she tells Everyone it’s her very own Ariel. The detail exceeds expectation down to her smile it looks just like the actress

Mermaid Ariel doll
on October 12, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ariel doll is based on the live action doll. She can move her hands and bend at the waist to sit down. Her hair is able to be styled in different ways. My child has enjoyed pretending to have Ariel swim around and act out the Little Mermaid Movie.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super cute doll! We love the little mermaid movie and it is so fun to have the doll matching the movie especially when we watch the movie. The doll is very well made and the mermaid tail is super cute and very well made.

Love our new mermaid!

from Old Bridge, NJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great Barbie to add to our collection. My daughter loves the hair and how different it is from her other dolls. Being that it is a mermaid, she not only swims it around but also sits it down with the others to have dinner. The doll itself is so pretty with the soft, colored tail and different textures of hair. Definitely a new favorite.
