I purchased this for my 8yr old who LOVES it! The color change feature is neat, the pascal is rubber. My favorite parts are the molded on shoes, and the shorter hair! I know this character has long hair, but it gets so, excuse the word, tangled, that it's a mess! The legs do not bend, only go forward & back. My daughter loved that the skirt was removable. The crown is not made of HARD plastic so breaking it will be hard. My daughter called this doll a ballerina which made me think this doll is perfect for someone who is wanting to buy a Rapunzel doll for a young child but is afraid of the mass of hair. Overall this was a GREAT buy for us! I'm glad I bought it!
