Product by by Mattel...

Barbie doll is featured here as Princess Liana from "Barbie and The Diamond Castle" who sings two songs from the movie and wears a mesmerizing glittery gown that magically transforms with the flip of a switch. Her necklace lights up when she sings. Pair her with the Princess Alexa doll, sold separately, to hear beautiful duets. Requires 3 "button-cell" batteries, included. Doll measures 11.5" tall.

Barbie takes on a whole new look with the adventurous "Princess Liana" -- the character she plays in the movie "Barbie and the Diamond Castle." This singing Barbie comes with a dress that "magically" transforms from "plain" to "fancy" and has the trademark long, blonde hair that little girls love to brush. With her jeweled purple tiara, this Barbie is sure to delight aspiring princesses age 3 and up--whether or not they've seen the movie.

Sparkly yet Sturdy :
Your little girl can play with this Barbie right out of the box. Parents might need to show younger kids how to flip Barbie's dress over with the turn of a knob (the instructions tell you how). You might also need to point out the tiny button that makes Barbie sing a song from "Barbie and the Diamond Castle," but once they know where it is, even little ones will be able to find it quickly.

The stiff material of Barbie's purple, pink, and orange sparkly dress will stand up well to lots of play. Her matching purple, high-heeled shoes, on the other hand, could get easily lost or swallowed. Parents should help with the delicate operation of cutting Barbie's tiara free from the plastic that binds it to Barbie's head. Afterall, every princess likes to take off her crown once in a while!




A Barbie with Bling :
This Barbie has a lot of bling -- from the dress that makes a "bringg" sound when it flips from "plain" to "fancy," to the pendant that lights up during this same operation. Barbie's fancy dress, with a sparkling pink bodice and layers of shimmering orange gauze over pink "silk," will dazzle every girl. Plus, it looks just like the dress that Princess Liana wears in the movie.

Your child will also love being able to remove Barbie's purple tiara with its orange jewel and the purple shoes that perfectly match her dress. If your child has the "Princess Alexa" doll (also based on a character from the movie), the two dolls can sing a special duet together while holding hands. And, of course, how could you forget Barbie's hair? Long, silky, and lustrous, girls will love brushing it with the heart-shaped gold brush that's included.

Customer Reviews :

It came and it never worked...
It came but it never worked. The skirt was supposed to puff up while it sang. The skirt puffed up but fell back down, and it never sang.

Daughter didn't love it.....
We recieved this doll and my daughter wanted to make her sing and change her dress around... but the batteries are dead and she can't. I've been to 3 stores looking for the batteries and they don't have them or they aren't in stock. But after paying for a Barbie Doll, I do not think I should have to shell out another to to buy batteries to make the doll actually work. Not pleased and neither is my daughter.

Doll not as described...
I received this item on time. However, the Liana Barbie doll described on the website is not the one I received. Because I paid .50 for this doll, I assumed it would be the Liana doll which sang and changed costumes. This was the one my granddaughter wanted.
What arrived was a plain doll which did neither of the above activities. Even more interesting was the fact that there was a plain white sticker on the box, which, when removed, revealed another sticker with .00 on it.
To be honest, the description does not mention "singing" but it definitely mentions the costume change AND shows pictures of how this happens. And I believe that the 2 features would go together.
Needless to say, my granddaughter was very disappointed which made me feel badly too. I also feel cheated when I think of how much I paid for the plain version of the doll. Be careful ordering this doll!!

I was disappointed....
My niece desperately wanted this doll for her birthday because it sings, however, when I received the item the batteries were dead. I was very disappointed. I replaced the batteries and the doll worked,however, I paid over .00 for the item and found it 2 days later at a discount store for .00. EXTREMELY disappointed!!

does not light up...
My grand daughter has been asking for this doll for a long time. when she received it, she was very excited. sadly ,it did not work. I ordered another, and the second one did not work. Possibly, it is the battery,which is .00.
