The product design team did such a good job with this doll - it is so much more than what I was even expecting and my kiddo loves it. The dress part goes down easily with a tap on her seashell necklace making iy into a fin. It easily glides back up to be a dress again for a really seamless transition. The material and color is beautiful and it dries quickly. I was also really surprised that her hair style stays intact even after getting wet. Needless to say, this Ariel doll is my daughter's first pick of toys to play with and she takes her everywhere!

Beautiful doll: the face is very well done, colors of the body, tail, & hair are lovely as well.

Base is nice and sturdy for standing.

The convertable function was not what we were expecting. The connecting point is very bulky and not easily workable, kids are constantly bringing the dollnto me to push the tail back up into the dress position and wrap the skirt, as the waist arms stick, which also makes for a clumsy looking skirt waist.

The tail launch is a bit jarring and we've had several tears and pinched fingers.
