BarbieMini BarbieLand 4-Pack Doll & Toy Vehicle Set with 4 1.5-inch Dolls & 4 Iconic Toy Vehicles with Color-Change Surprise, JDB85

Excellent price in the Black Friday sale. Can’t wait to see my daughters face on Christmas morning!

My granddaughter loved them

The kids LOVE this. They spotted this new style in the supermarket and were pestering for small single item sets that were £6 each so were delighted when I gave the this set as a present the very next day.They have the big version of each vehicle and delight in comparing them to these mini ones.The 4 people bend at the waist to sit down in the vehicles, the vehicles open up to allow access.They love the Barbie Way street sign and are now wondering if a mini house will be coming their way to go with the Dreamhouse and Chelsea's house.They have not noticed any colour changing properties, they're too busy enjoying basic play. They take the vehicles out of the house when we go out in the car and were delighted to realise they can mix their Polly Pocket aeroplane and people with this Barbie set to increase their play value.It feels a lot of money for the small amount of plastic you get but adding the portability factor in increases the play value and, frankly, Barbie is always a hit.

This does what you'd expect, and there is nothing wrong with it:It's four mini-Barbie toys all grouped together in a pack. Any child who is into Barbie will be able to play with them in the usual way.It's official branded merchandise, so comes at a premium, and personally I think it's very expensive for what it is.None of the toys have much in the way of functionality or versatility - it's pretty much exclusively down to imagination to get any play out of them. Which isn't unusual for Barbie dolls, although in this mini-style there's obviously not the articulation present to pose them.The price makes more sense if you view this as a multipack, which each individual mini-toy in the set retailing for ~£6 each. Still expensive, but understandable for brand name products that would otherwise be seen individually on shelves.This also explains why one of the four figures included in the pack, one of them appears to be a duplicate.As a stand-alone product, I am not sure it has the same sort of value you might expect from a more substantial full-sized Barbie playset.

This set comprises miniature versions of Barbie Dream vehicles - camper, plane, boat and convertible. The detail is phenomenal, the dolls can sit down, although it can be quite fiddly getting them into the vehicles. There's a repeat in my set of one of the dolls, if compared to the picture on the box. There's a slight colour change when the vehicles are put in ice cold water. The dolls can also be mini dolls for standard sized Barbies, and the whole set can be stored away in the packaging.

This is a slightly odd little set of toys, as it's a shrunk-down take on Barbie; the dolls are only around 4cm tall, and aren't fully articulated; they just bend at the waist. And similar applies to the included vehicles, as they're also "super deformed" and simplified versions of their larger counterparts.On the other hand, this does make for a perfect "travelling" playset, and there's a whole range of additional mini-Barbie toys which can be bought to build up a collection.With that said, the dolls are small enough that I'm not entirely sure I'd want to let a 4 year old play with them. And the RRP on these toys seems a bit excessive; the current discounted price of £14.99 seems ok, but at the RRP of £27.99, I suspect I'd be able to find some toys which would be much better value for money!

This is brilliant, you get four tiny little Barbies (about 3 inches tall) and four vehicles for them - a car, a boat, a plane and a mini-bus. The figures are usable in any vehicle so you can chop and change who uses which vehicle, and the vehicles change colour with temperature (so put the boat in water and it will change for example). Honestly this set of toys has been brilliant for my daughter, in one box you get a choice of figures and a choice of vehicles, enough to keep any young mind occupied. Love it! Recommended.

This set comprises 4 mini Barbies (just 1½ inches tall) that bend at the waist, 4 modes of transport (camper, boat, plane & sports car) and a few accessories. Although just plastic, they are robust and all the doors and hatches opened and closed so little hands can put the dolls inside. The plastic changes colour when put in water.Our granddaughters (7 & 3) loved it, and the 3 year old had no trouble manoeuvring the dolls or the transport. It kept them busy for quite some time, so that's a win!I do think £28 is a bit steep for what you get, but I can see this is the going rate for Barbie products and have not deducted a star for this.
