Barbie & Her Sisters Dancin’ Fun Horse and Doll (Another win for Barbie!)

By Kelsey

Barbie is one of my favorite toys to play with. She was my favorite when I was a little girl, and the company has continued to make great toys that impress. The Barbie & Her Sisters Dancin’ Fun Horse and Doll is based on a recently released Barbie movie titled Barbie & Her Sisters in a Puppy Chase.

Unboxing

This Barbie doll and her horse were easy to remove from their packaging. The typical clear rubber bands and plastic tags were attached throughout, and I needed my scissors to remove them from their package. Once unboxed, I had one horse, a blond-haired Barbie doll with her removable riding helmet, as well as several plastic pieces used to connect Barbie to her horse.

The Playtime Experience

To start, I had to install 4 AAA batteries into the belly of the horse. This allowed for the horse to play music and dance when the button on her head was pressed. The Barbie doll does not dance on her own; however, her joints at her hips and knees are mobile which makes it easy to move her. She can sit on her horse and hold onto the reins, or she can be attached via clear plastic clips which allow her to dance with her horse.

Things I Liked

I like the Barbie & Her Sisters Dancin’ Fun Horse and Doll playset and its ability to dance and move. I anticipated that the horse’s movements would be robotic and low-quality, but was pleasantly surprised to find the opposite.

Things I Didn't Like

I didn’t like that Barbie had to be attached to the horse in order to dance. I suppose she wouldn’t have been able to maintain her shape or her joint mobility if she had been equipped to dance on her own, though, and I think the effect may have been lost. I also wouldn’t want to put any more batteries into this set than what is already required.

Appropriate Ages

As with most Barbie products, the Barbie & Her Sisters Dancin’ Fun Horse and Doll is recommended for players 3 and older. Barbie tends to have small accessory pieces that can present a choking hazard, but I didn’t see this as a problem with this particular set.

Final Note

I really enjoyed my playtime with the Barbie & Her Sisters Dancin’ Fun Horse and Doll. I think this would be a good addition to any Barbie collection and playset. It was very cute and offered something unique with its ability to dance and play music. It was also affordable, which is always a bonus when purchasing toys.
