Disney ily 4EVER Bambi Fashion Doll came in a very substantial box with a ‘window’ to show you exactly what you are getting.

You get a Bambi inspired doll who has long, straight ‘rooted’ blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a number of places where she ‘moves’,13 points altogether, which makes her very ‘posable’ and enables her to be taken on different adventures with your child. This doll is dressed in a velveteen rust coloured skirt/culottes, a pink jumper with a Bambi style fawn on the front, pink over the knee boots and is holding a pink wide brimmed fedora hat and rust coloured clutch bag with flowers and a tiny fawn on the side.

Also in the box you get a faux suede patchwork skirt, another Bambi inspired jumper with matching sleeves enabling your child to have different ‘mix and match’ outfits. There are also a number of other accessories in the box which include chunky ankle boots with a ‘B’ on the strap, another clutch bag with ‘prominent’ Bambi eyes on the opening and a petite gold coloured necklace. This adds up to ten pieces in total giving your child lots of opportunities to give their Bambi Fashion Doll lots of different looks for lots of different occasions. Your child will also get a collectable Mickey Mouse glitter encrusted ring for them to wear making it a good all-round present for Christmas.

This Disney ily 4EVER range has other Disney inspired dolls which include, Stich Fashion Doll, Ariel Fashion Doll, Princess Tiana, Belle, Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Pixar movie character, Ursula, Snow White, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Jack & Sally and even a Sven inspired doll. (I am sure there are even more out there!). This means that whatever your child is into you should be able to find one your child likes. 

I asked my grandchildren to help me with my review and got mixed responses maybe due to their ages which range from 11 years old to 6 years old or the fact that four are girls and two are boys!

The boys (6 years old) did enjoy trying on the different outfits but quickly ended up with them ‘fighting’ with their wrestling toys! (I always give them the same opportunities but sometimes you just can’t stop them being ‘stereo typical’ boys!). All of the girls enjoyed dressing and undressing them and playing out different scenarios with them, the younger two (7 years old and 6 years old) also added their own fashion dolls to enhance this dolls experiences. The older two (9 years old and 11 years old) were not really interested in the Bambi logo’s but were quite impressed when I showed them the others you can get.

They did, however, comment on the doll and her clothes felt a little bit flimsy and the accessories a bit tacky! I could see what they meant but for your character loving younger child, the doll, clothes and accessories should be fun to receive as they look impressive in the box. This was evident when they all saw the doll in her box as there was lots of ‘wow’s and ‘oooo’s and “who’s is this? Can we play with it?”!

The recommended age both on the box and in the product information is, ‘NOT suitable for children under 3 years of age due to small parts that may be a choking hazard’ but there is also a ⃝ with 6+ on the side of the box, I would suggest 4 to 7 years old is a good guide but every child is different and there are no really tiny parts so younger (or older) children would enjoy playing with this doll.
