REVIEW: Trolls Val

 

Every time I think I'm done with Trolls, they pull me back in. I haven't seen the second movie or the Trollstopia show, but all it takes is a good character design and Val has one. So here are the three Val toys I've gotten recently. 

This first one is the smallest. It's Surprise Hair Val, who was $4.99 on Amazon. 

Adorable! 

The gimmick with these is small critters hiding in the character's hair. 

Here are Val's little pets. 

They're tucked into openings in the back of each pigtail. 

Then we've got a bigger version of the same thing. This is Ultimate Surprise Hair Val, who's $14.99. 

She's got full poofs of troll hair this time. 

She's essentially just a large figure though with only the most basic articulation. 

This time there are pockets in the fabric lining of her hair. 

The brush was in one, the paper-wrapped bundle in the other.

This guy was in the paper. Weirdly cute.

Then you pull the little blue guy out. 

And inside the blue guy is a microphone that doll will never be able to hold. 

The small figure is fair at $4.99, but I find a barely poseable big figure a bit much at $14.99. $9.99 would be better. I don't regret getting her because I love the character, but I can still say she's overpriced.

Then comes the best one! The fashion doll!

She's also $14.99, only she's worth every penny. I overpaid for her on Amazon and regret nothing. 

I love her so much!

Here she is with Barb, who I still love, but you gotta admit, she pales in comparison to Val. 

All three Vals together! Love!

REVIEW: Trolls World Tour DJ Suki and Barb dolls

I picked up Suki a while ago at Walmart, but waited for Barb to get here, too, to show them both.

These dolls are basic, but also really cute, and run about $9.99 each.

Poppy also comes in this basic style, and then there are more detailed one for $14.99 that have shoes and accessories. I plan on getting Satin and Chenille at some point.

Suki has cute, curly hair.



Her dress is just a simple sheath, but it's cute.

The bodies are very basic, but I honestly think these would look weird overly-articulated.

This is the girl I was really excited for! I managed to scoop up the last one on ebay for retail. I don't think she's come back in stock since.

She is super adorable! I love the mohawk.

I would have liked another Barb with her sassy expression, but this one is so cute that I can't fault them for using it.

Her earrings are cute and I love the raggedy ear.

Her outfit is very simple, like Suki's, but I do like the belt. I'll have to see if anything else might fit her. Something with more black... But she's so small, the options aren't really there.

Two very different trolls!
