I was so excited to get this for my daughter, but it wound up being a flop. She asked me to give it to another little girl. :(
- The floatie is nearly impossible to blow up. I tried, and my husband finally managed to get it about a third blown up.
- The doll is too tall to float upright in most tubs unless your child takes VERY deep baths.
- The doll doesn’t float upright even if you fill the tub way, way up!
- Once wet, you can see all the roots of the hair and it is very creepy looking.
- The mermaid tail fills with water while she is in the tub. I guess that’s supposed to add weight so that she floats properly, but it doesn’t work, and it’s just a great way to create mold IMO.
- Flounder is supposed to be a squirty but I found him nearly impossible to squeeze. His plastic is too hard for him to be able to squeeze and squirt water.
- Ariel doesn’t bend to sit down. I don’t know why, as her body is jointed at the waist, but you can’t bend her to sit down.
BOO to Disney for this craptastic toy.
The only pro is that the doll is very pretty. Also this doll is quite heavy compared to some dolls.

I caved and gave her this early because she doesn’t have many bath toys and wasn’t wanting to hop in the tub today when it came, so I let her open it early. Her face lit up when she saw it (she LOVES the Little Mermaid), and she immediately stripped and got ready for her bath. Despite reading the negative review on here and almost not buying this, the price dropped so low during the sale and my daughter did want this a lot so I figured it was worth it even with those negatives. Granted the doll doesn’t stay straight up, but what doll really does? Her hair changes color in the water, her floatie helps her float (and I didn’t have any problems at all with blowing it up all the way, maybe the other reviewer got a defective one?). Also no problems with water getting in her tail. Even after full immersion, her tail remained hollow. I don’t see the problems with the doll getting moldy, but I frequently wash my daughter’s bath toys in hot, soapy water, so as long as the water stays out of the tail it should be fine. I’m glad I bought this doll, and at $14.99 she was totally worth it. I don’t think I’d pay much more than that, though.

This is a good sized Ariel doll! Purchased this as a gift for a 4 year old girl who is very happy with her new Ariel. The doll’s floating ring inflates easily, she has a good head of hair for styling fun and appears quite durable. The 4 year old loves her Ariel and I’m very satisfied with my gift choice.

I can’t get this doll to float upright in the bath. She keeps tipping over no matter how much I adjust the inner tube. It has been nothing but frustrating.

Mission accomplished. The mermaid was bought for a 3 yd old … and she’s thrilled. She could care less if the mermaid doesn’t float perfectly upright in the tub. Wife blew up the floaty ring initially, I recently added a little air … both of us figured out how to do so with no problems. Other reviewers must have been outsmarted by the standard air valve.
I give it a 9.5 out of 10 … it didn’t put the kids to bed.
