I purchased this doll a while ago and put her up for easter for my daughter. When she opened it the leg broke and just flopped around. I contacted Mattell and they immediately replaced her even though it had been a couple of months since she was purchased. The replacement is great and seems to be holding up well. These dolls are fairly fragile compared to other dolls, so i wouldnt recommend them for a young child. My daughters 9 and knows to take good care of them so for her age they are great and she loves his doll. She has great detail and is unique.
