My 8 year old daughter, Candace received this for Christmas this year. This was the only toy that she was really looking toward receiving this year as she is getting older and is slowly growing out of the whole idea of Santa... needless to say she opened it early...our only problem is that Sage keeps going to sleep with every prompt...i.e. let's chat...she will go to sleep...not sure what that's all about...sometimes she understands the commands and some times she does not HOWEVER...she continues to carry her around and call her BFF...lol so works for me!
My 9yr old daughter LoVe's Sage! I bought it for Christmas but she got it early to comfort her on losing 3 teeth (2 front) in one week. So I gave in! So glad I purchased in November, otherwise, i would of not received until 2012 possibly! Thanks Mattel!
