Review: I BOUGHT THIS DOLL/TOY FOR MY DAUGHTER YESTERDAY. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW HOURS FOR IT TO BREAK. THE STRING IS EITHER UNABLE TO BE PULLED FROM THE BASE OR UNABLE TO RECOIL AFTER "FLIGHT". I MUST SAY, AFTER READING SOME OF THE REVIEWS ABOUT HOW FAULTY THE RELIABILITY IS OF THIS TOY, I DECIDED TO PURCHASE ANYWAY (MY DAUGHTER REALLY WANTED IT) BUT IN RETROSPECT, I AM SORRY I DIDN'T TAKE HEED. WHY DON'T WE ALL WRITE LETTERS TO THE MANUFACTURER, PERHAPS THIS WILL IMPROVE THE PRODUCT, OR AT LEAST WARN THE MAKER TO WATCH HIS/HER BACK IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CONSUMERS THEY HAVE DUPPED!

Review: My daughter really likes this toy. Granted, she likes anything that has to do with princesses and the like, but she just can't put this toy down. As far as durability, I can't really say how durable it is, but I've been doing the majority of the string pulling and it seems to be holding up well so far (though we've only owned it for about a week). That being said, the 2 negatives about this toy are (1)since she lacks the strength to pull the string hard enough, she can only get the Sky Dancer to fly a few inches from the base. And (2), occassionally when you pull the string, it will "lock" like when you pull on a seatbelt quickly. Overall, I think it is a good buy.

Review: I have two daughters ages 4 and 6, I have read the other reviews about strings breaking and such. We had our sky dancer now for a year. At first my youngest did have trouble pulling the string, but once my oldest daughter and I showed her how to pull, she did not have any trouble. Camille flew wonderfully untill about a week ago when my cat developed a fetish for her wings. My suggestion to those parents thinking of buying one is this. My daughter is 4 and it took her a little while to understand how hard to pull this string. I don't recomend it for kids under 4. Also if you do have a cat you might want to put the doll up at night. I have given a 4 star rating on education for both hand eye coordination and control. I will be buying two more for christmas this year. Personally I think it's a great toy and a nice addition to a childs playthings.

Review: My 3-year old daughter has a hard time making this toy fly on her own. She got it for her 3rd birthday and has only played with it twice (during the first week of getting it). It seems durable and works well, but it hasn't gotten much use. There just isn't much play value. The commercial made her want it, but it doesn't hold her interest.

Review: I bought the first one for my daughter after seeing the commercials and she fell in love with it. The first one didn't even work straight out of the box so back to the store it went. The second one broke after three pulls of the string. That one went back. The third one worked for quite a few pulls for about a half hour then broke as well. She wants a fourth but I'm done!
