1 out of 5 stars wings won't stay on   June 30, 2008
Elizabeth A. Hartshorn (Ohio)
My daughter got this for her 4th birthday. She really likes the Mariposa story. The doll, however, is not as popular. The wings fell off when we took her out of the box and while we can set them back on gently, with a small plastic butterfly on the back of the doll but, they fall off at the slightest wiggle. I don't know if this is a design problem or just bad luck.

Hi there!
Okay so another review from me for the Mariposa line.
This is a really nice little doll that we have here. She's got all of the same styling as the doll with the larger wings, from the fabric dress to the flower head band. Again she is a bit smaller than a regular barbie doll, however I do like this due to the fact that it seems more appropriate for a fairy. They are supposed to be delicate and other worldly and this doll conveys that mysterious nature well. Like the big doll she has the rare feature of brown eyes and that will make her a valuable collectors peice in time. As for the durablity of this doll, shes a lot better for a younger doll fan who will be playing with her more than a grown up barbie fan. Still she is also good for the collector being a truly beautiful doll. A few words of warning, the wings are made of felxible plastic and do pop on and off, however a bit of patiance and wiggleing are reqiuered. The dress and shoes are removeable as well, but her head band is stiched to her so its better if you leave it be.
Over all a good doll for kids to play with and adults to collect, not a bad buy for the money.
thanks again.
Angel.

I was actually very impressed when I got this doll for my daughter. Mariposa has an actual figure. She's fairly well proportioned, unlike the older Barbies. Of course that means that the old clothes don't fit quite right on these, or more precisely the Mariposa clothes will not fit on older dolls. At all. Not that it's much of a problem.
Overall it's a very pretty doll. She has a real dress, unlike the Rayna, Rayla, and Willa dolls which only have skirts and painted on bodices. She also comes with shoes which they don't have either. I have yet to get Mariposa's wings off but who really wants butterfly wings wandering loose around the house anyway? I was also pleasantly surprised that the glitter on the wings doesn't come off. After much handling it's all still there. So overall, a very nice doll at a very good price.

First of all, don't beleive one of the previous reviewer who said the wings didn't remove - they are removable. And they are attached quite well so they won't fall off.

Overall, this doll is very pretty. Unlike Rayna and Rayla, she has fair skin and her outfit is removable. I wanted to add Mariposa to my collection of fairies but didn't want to buy the one with big wings as I don't have much space in the room so it would be not easy to display her, and couldn't find this one... But finally she's here.
All the dolls of Mariposa line have very beautiful packages, so I quite understand the kid who keeps her in box.

The only thing that dissappointed me a bit is her hair, it's rooted not quite well and she ocassionally looses hair. I had the same problem with Fairytopia Dandelion, however with Rayla everything is OK, that's why I expected better quality. And her hairstyle is not quite durable: the piece of thread which holds the fringe on the right is not fixed well. It doesn't really matter for a collector like me, but children who are going to play with her a lot can find it dissappointing too.

Still, she's very beautiful.
