These are very cute for the tweens that have a Barbie Girl MP3 player. You can change out her hair and clothing. What they don't tell you (and I didn't realize until it was home with me) is that it's only the faceplate. You still have to buy the backplate seperately.

The faceplates are also slightly difficult for the younger ones to change out by themselves. The 6 yr old had a hard time, but it wasn't a problem for the 12 yr old.

My girls have been saving up to buy a Barbie Girl but it only come with one outfit so buying an additional one was a must. There are several small components to this toy so be very careful if you have infants or toddlers. It is a challenge to keep all the pieces off the floor and in the proper storage container. The girls love interchanging the hair, clothes and other knick knacks. As usual, Barbie has designed a 'can't live without' toy that crosses all socio-economic, racial, and age boundaries. Save yourself the tons of questions like, when am I going to get a Barbie Girl? Can I get one at the local store? Mama, you said...

Order it today...get it day after tomorrow...free time for you as your girls will be on the computer for days on end...now that's priceless!

The player needs more than one outfit (it's a girl thing). In the end, my daughter stripped Barbie, dressed Barbie, and hasn't changed her since. This did put the player-toy over the top. Well worth the few bucks.
