Mattel Rapunzel Doll Review & Tangled Giveaway

You may recall that we were lucky enough to go to a Disney event recently where we watched the film Tangled.  All the family loved the film and we are even going to see it again in April - already booked, how efficient is that?

At  the event the girls were given a Rapunzel doll each, these are made by Mattel and retail for £19.99, you can buy them from Toys R Us and other good retailers. My little ladies love their dolls, especially Miss E who actually refers to herself as Rapunzel a fair amount now. As the girls have a love for these dolls I thought I would write a quick review and offer some Tangled goodies for giveaway.

I have been pleased with the dolls, they are Barbie sized and are well made.  I like the fact that Rapunzel does not look too adult, she is cute and girlie and her clothes are well made. She has the trademark beautiful platinum blond hair and lets be honest after a month of 3 year old play it is looking pretty tangled now, but it combs out quite well and looks far less 'street' than the girls barbies do.

The feature that Miss E really likes is the extra bit of hair that you can clip to the end of Rapunzels to make it really long.  What Miss E does is clip it to her own hair and wonder round chanting 'Rapunzel throw down your hair' to herself whilst doing very big hair flicks!  It is to cute to watch.

So in short, if you are looking for a gift for a little girlie girl then this doll would be a great buy.  I do not think you will be disappointed.

And to celebrate the fabulous film that is Tangled, how about a giveaway?


I can offer you a great DK book full of Tangled facts and activities, my ladies are just a little young for it really and also a new copy of the Tangled soundtrack.  There really are some marvellous tunes in the film, all included on this great album.  The pair of these would delight any little fan.
