Barbie Dreamtopia Merman Doll, Approx 12-inch with Blue Rainbow Tail and Blonde Hair, for 3 to 7 Year Olds

This cute mermaid Ken comes exactly as pictured! A bit pricey at $25 compared to the Mermaid Barbies which are half the price. However, this was bought as a birthday gift and has been lots of fun since. The tail fin comes detached and takes a quick snap in, but once in it does not come out! Ken’s head is soft while his body is hard plastic. The hair is also plastic so no combing or fancy hairstyles to do. Overall it feels like a great quality toy that should last a long time.

Barbie has been released as a mermaid countless times, but before this toy, Ken was only given an official release as a merman once (to my knowledge, at least) - and sadly, that doll had almost everything that I believe can possibly ruin a doll (limited articulation, molded-on clothes, etc.). So much as I've been wanting to see a Ken merman, I took a pass on that one. Now, they release this gem, and he's exactly what I've been longing for! He has absolutely no molded on clothes whatsoever - though his tail is molded to him, much like the Dreamtopia mermaids (though that's no big deal to me, since merfolk really do have tails attached to their bodies, don't they?). He has a necklace and two wrist cuffs that can be removed too. I would've liked it if he had "real" hair instead of molded plastic hair, but I imagine they probably built him with the intention of water play, and short doll hair can be harder to manage (especially when wet), so I see why they did this. The only downside is his limited articulation. His head, shoulders (both up and down and side to side), and waist (to the front only) can move, but nothing else. I would've liked to see him have a bit more articulation in his arms and tail (much like how Finnegan Wake's doll was articulated with Monster High). Still, I'm just so excited to have an official merman Ken doll done this well that I won't consider it worth dropping a star over. On the whole, this is a very handsome and well-designed doll! I certainly hope this won't be the only Dreamtopia merman! Great work, Mattel - please keep it up!

The doll’s coloring is excellent; vibrant and beautiful. Also a bonus: perfect redhead colors! I used this doll for a merman cake my 3 year old niece and I made for her daddy, and I found it really easy to match other mermaid cake decorations with the colors of the tail, which was a major bonus. Ken was so sturdy in a seated position, I didn’t have to use anything to keep him upright in the cake. For reference: the top tier of my cake is 6.5” and the bottom tier is 9.6” I wish Ken’s arms were bendable, but I don’t think it takes away from the playability, just a personal preference. My blue collar, motorcycling-riding brother-in-law has now been introduced to the masculine humility that comes with being a girl dad, and my niece now has a new tubby toy. Everyone is happy, so that should be good enough to purchase your own.

Is a birthday present for my granddaughter,she's going to love it 💓

My 2 year old son has been into mermaids since going to Vegas and seeing a mermaid performers in a fish tank. I got him the girl mermaid as well but he loves the merman beat probably cuz he sees himself in the Merman. He did loose the necklace though. As someone already said I wish it was somehow attached. But other than that, a really good toy.

Cute doll totally recommend it to buy it

My 4-year-old loves this! She had been waiting for it, so when I finally ordered it, she was beyond excited. We already have the Barbie mermaid, and adding Ken was exactly what she wanted.

Lo compré para mi niña, a ella le encantó

Nice toy. My daughter loves it. It was delivered earlier than expected.

Me llegaron los dos Mermen que pedí el sábado hoy martes. Venían solamente en dos sobres de plástico ligero ya que eran dos pedidos individuales. No había protección ninguno y se aplasto una esquina del plástcio de la caja que le afecta un poco pero no merece devolverlo. La falta de embalaje y caja de Amazon de enviar como siempre me deja sorprendido. Es un milagro que han llegado sin más daños. Lo menciono porque otros muñecos han recibido mucha más atención al enviarlos muy protegidos hasta punto de exageración con papel de burbuja. Se ve que a estos dos Kens Mermen pasaron de ellos. Los muñecos en si mismos son super-guapos y se le da a Mattel la enhorabuena por diseñar tal figuras innovadoras. Me encantan y estoy muy contento que compré dos. ¡Se quedan en las cajas sin abrir para coleccionistas! Hoy, 7 de mayo me llegaron los últimos dos Mermern Kens asi que tengo cuatro en la colección ahora! !Super encantado y llegaron perfectos en sus cajas. Super cool!

This is one of the few male mermaids. We already have it for a year (or so). It has lived quite some time in both the bath room and outside by the pool. The toy is quite strong and the colours stay bright. Quite a musthave for the mermaid family :)

Dottern var mycket nöjd 😊👍

Super szybka wysyłka, paczka doszła w dwa dni. Polecam!
