Top Toys for Christmas 2012- Mattel Sister Sets & Disney Animators Toddler Doll Collection
I’ve been posting a new video review each week for a series of reviews I like to call ‘Top Toys for Christmas 2012″. This week, I plan on posting these here on the blog so those who don’t subscribe can share their thoughts on these dolls!
Top Toy: Mattel Sisters sets (featuring Hula Dancing Skipper)
Part of my on going series of ‘Hot Toys for Christmas 2012′, here’s a closer look at the Skipper from the Hula Sisters 2 pack that originally included Skipper and Chelsea/Kelly. This video looks only at the Skipper.
Hula Sisters Skipper
Hula Sisters Skipper
The Basics:
-No stand included.
-Pink highlights on chestnut brown hair.
Pros:
-Love the added volume to her outfit with the addition of the hula skirt
-Her Accessories are great! (Ukulele and necklace)
-Cute make up.
-He has jointed shoulders, elbows and wrists!
Cons:
-Mattel still needs to add a bit of variety to the new Skippers. They’re still coming off (to me) as too similar to eachother!
-Her wrists are really loose.
Top Toy: Disney Animators Toddler Doll Collection
Part two of my ‘Hot Toys for Christmas 2012′ videos! This week, I highlight the Disney Animators Collection! These dolls are adorable and while they debuted last year, they still seem to be flying off shelves! Perfect for 3 and up!

Pros:

-Love the big eyes on these dolls!!!
Cons:
-There are no cons. I seriously can’t find anything wrong with them. They’re just fantastic dolls for all ages!

I seriously tried to find a con in these dolls and, like you, could not bring myself to it! The look, faces, and price are all superb! I don’t know if to get a Snow White for my toddler niece or a Belle for myself!!!

I feel a little silly asking you such a basic question, but my google-fu has failed me; how tall are the contemporary Skippers like the ones found in the hula set?
