Product Description

Everyone knows that little girls love to dress up their Barbie dolls for a date with Ken, a night out with girlfriends, or to just go shopping. Now those same girls can ready themselves instead at this Island Princess vanity. At 32" tall, it’s the perfect size for a young girl to sit down in front of using the included stool, and the various secret compartments, hidden treasures, and centered mirror will provide hours of entertainment.

Inspired by the 2007 fall release of the Barbie as The Island Princess DVD movie (in which Barbie takes on the role of Princess Rosella), this vanity features a white top with scalloped edges and bright blue and lavender towers along the back that hold surprises. Compartments are hiding things like castle rooms, jewelry, and animal friends featured in the film. Pull out the center drawer and lower the mirror to discover Princess Rosella’s room and hear music from the movie. Even the top of the vanity stool opens, making it the perfect place to stash the included hairbrush when it’s not being used.

Two in one fun allows girls to not just primp and role play, but to also use the vanity to reenact scenes from the movie, which includes new songs, with their favorite Barbie. Dolls are not included with this vanity set, but Princess Rosella and Prince Antonio can be purchased separately.

The sit down vanity opens up to reveal castle rooms, a bed, animal friends, and other hidden treasures. View larger.

Stool opens up for hidden storage inside. View larger.

Cute toy, but no outer box from [...]

Review Date: December 7, 2007

Reviewer: Modern Blue Argonaut,

I'll update the review once my daughter gets to play with this after Christmas, but for now I thought I would warn everyone that this arrives in the retail packaging with the shipping label on it. Therefore, if the UPS guy comes while you are picking your kids up from school, guess what will be on your front porch when you get home?

Screams of joy were coming from my daughter as we got out of the car, so I guess it's a big hit, but it did kind of ruin the surprise. The seat on the stool comes off so she can hide her treasures in there. The whole set took

Update: My daughter has yet to really play with this much, but she does put her Barbies to bed all over the castle vanity, and uses the stool all over the house. We prefer the Mattel Barbie 3-Story Dream House Playset because it is so much bigger, but this was a wonderful addition to her Barbie playsets, and nothing has broken on it yet. It took about 45 minutes to set up, and I liked the fact there were no stickers to put on. We are huge fans of Barbie and the Island Princess, so this makes a great home for her Rosella Barbie doll.

Wow, a toy that's worth the money.

I got this for my daughter for her birthday in Feb.08. However after unpacking it to make sure nothing was broken, I've decided to give it to her for christmas! It's way better then I thought it would be, the table and chair is made from high quality molded plastic (I think it would hold ME). The castle has lots of adorable details, and the mirror is real, (thought I don't think regular glass), it's not like that film on the dora one. I love the ideal that this can serve as a vanity or doll house, but only time will tell if my daughter loves it too. That's why I gave this toy an educational value, as it can encourage role playing. Oh and there is a volume control for the sound which can go very loud. I thinks it's well worth the $[...] I paid and maybe even a little more.

Easy to assemble!

I just finished putting this together and it was really easy. Mostly snapped together parts aside from a total of 8 screws. Everything arrived in good condition and it is adorable. I can't wait to give it to my 4 year old.

NO PACKAGING! (but my UPS guy was great about it!)

I just happened to stop home for lunch and followed the UPS guy into the driveway! He opened his window and asked "if the little one" was with me. I said no, and then he pulled out the box. He said they try to be really careful about it, but it's tough if it comes with no packaging. I put it in the trunk of my car... it's a little large to try and hide! It looks awesome though and I'm sure my 5 year old will love it. The price CANNOT be beat! I'm so glad I found it on Amazon as you will NOT find it cheaper anywhere else!

MY KIDS LOVE IT!!

We got this for our daughters for Christmas and they will not stop playing with it. This was definitely a great choice for them. I would definitely recommend this toy for anyone who has kids who likes Barbie!
