    Fast shipping. Love the boots that aren’t so easy to lose as the tiny shoes. My daughters are getting great play out of the set.

    My daughter had asked for “the Barbie Sword Movie” for Christmas, and also received this Barbie to go along with it. Within 10 minutes of removing the Barbie from the box, the sword was broken, because while in the Barbie’s hand, the sword was made to hit another Barbie. NO MORE SWORD, and TONS of tears! The next day my daughter returned to playing with the Barbie (for that day it was just too devastating to go near) and having lots of fun with it (the clothes offer lots of different arrangements for different outfits) but the whole premise of her wanting this Barbie was The 3 Musketeers- I can’t believe Mattel would make such a cheap sword if this is the defining factor of this line of Barbies. My child does not play rough. It really is no different than those novelty drink stirrers. Also, I wish Mattel would quit making Barbies where you can’t remove their clothes- in this one, the mask/crown is not removable, and must always stay on the Barbie’s head- which prevents hairstyling. Overall my daughter loves this Barbie, but I was shocked by the crappy quality of the accessories.

    Without the sword incident, I think this would have been her favorite Barbie. But tears at a Christmas celebration is sad for everyone involved- the child, the giver, the parents. The cheap sword totally put a damper on this toy’s image.

    My 3 yr old daughter loves this doll. Unfortunately the sword broke the first day. I agree with the previous poster that it would be nice to have the same weapon that was in the movie. However I love the idea of the crown coming down as a mask and the dress becoming a cape expect the velcro isn’t that strong. Fun toy for the price I paid.

    I bought one of these barbies for my 6 yr old niece for Christmas and the sword broke with in the first hours of play. If I’m paying premium money ($25) for a barbie, I expect it not to break in the first hour! She felt “left out” because the other 2 girls who had Three Musketeer Barbies couls still play with their swords. She did have fun making the skirt into a cape and having the mask/crown move up and down. I’m very disappointed that such an important part (the sword) to the character is so cheaply made.

    It’s true the sword breaks very easily, but my 6yr niece put some tape on it and she was fine. The dress does turn into a cap and the mask moves up and down on her face. The dolls costume looks nothing like the DVD character and my niece noticed that right away. This dolls’ signature weapon are whips not a sword, but in the end all the musketeers have swords. So if you’re buying the doll for a child who is alert and pays attention to detail, be prepared for disappointment. However, most kids don’t really care about the details they just like the bright colors and mini features.
