The Mansion Is Beautiful and High Tech
The two-story mansion is constructed of sturdy plastic and features numerous archways, a balcony, a smoothie bar shaded by a giant palm tree, and windows and doorways with gothic treatments that resemble iron latticework.

The feature that truly separates this playhouse from other dollhouses: a "dance floor" that interfaces with an MP3 player or a radio, which pipes the music through the floor. After turning on the light above the dance floor, your little one can make a mirror ball above the dance stage revolve by turning a thumbwheel. Because the rest of the features are so digitized, the fact that the mirror ball must be manually operated seemed a bit primitive, but this is a minor point. Mood lighting illuminates the interior of this palatial space with two lights under the eaves of the roof.

The Mansion May Be Customized
The owner of this mansion can "decorate" the rooms as she sees fit by using the roll of included stickers. Other than a chaise lounge, the interior is devoid of any furniture and adornment; the brownish beige stickers are meant to look like wood and to make the walls look less like (pink) plastic. Caution must be taken when applying stickers because they are not removable and cannot be repositioned; the mansion owner needs to be sure of her decision before adhesion. All of the stickers are numbered from 1 to 42, each corresponding to a particular and exact placement, which can be time-consuming and unforgiving of errors. One wants to be highly alert while peeling and adhering.

There is plenty of room for expansion in the mansion. The addition of furniture, personalized touches, and of course the dolls themselves will make this a great toy for the Bratz doll collector.
