REVIEW: Little Mermaid 30th Anniversary Sisters Pack

I remembered the Ariel, Arista and Aquata larger doll set from ToyFair, but I don't remember seeing these small ones. I did see the larger set, but opted for the $24.99 option that included all the sisters instead. Though I'm sure I'll get the $29.99 bigger dolls eventually.

I'm a sucker for Ariel's sisters. I honestly don't like Ariel that much or the movie either, but I love the book series set before the movie that delves deeper into the characters of all the sisters. My bathroom theme is mermaids because I have so much stuff of the sisters!

Here's the back of the box. This would have been a cool cutout to stick behind my display shelves in my bathroom, but I hate that they took my favorite and stuck her back to the "camera," so to speak. 

This is a bit of a reminder though of how obvious these designs are and that they had this info in their hands, yet still didn't do the set perfectly.

Arista. Andrina. Alana.

Alana is almost perfect, although I think of her as the pinky-purple one, not the purple.

Andrina, too, looks good aside from the color change. She's purple, not pink.

Arista has the right color, but the wrong hairstyle. She's always had a long ponytail, not Andrina's updo.

Attina, my favorite! And Ariel.

These two look pretty perfect.

Adella and Aquata.

Now look at the back of the box. Aquata has much lighter hair than Adella. She always has. So why do the toys have the wrong hair colors?

I've always thought of all seven sisters as having the same color eyes, but these dolls have different colors. And if any of the sisters were to be brown-eyed, it'd be Adella.

So...

FIXED.

It was easy to pop and swap their heads. The only thing wrong is that Aquata's got a yellow hair deco now, but oh, well. No big deal.

A few bits of color weirdness aside, these are super adorable. I love the faces on each one. Attina's my favorite, but Alana comes in second.

I think the set's rather overpriced, but it's also worth it if you love these girls. It's not like toys of them are made that often.
