As it sounds the Dress To Impress Mystery Model Doll is sold blind, you have no idea which doll you are getting. In series 2, there are 10 dolls including two mystery dolls. As a parent I am not a fan of this sort of marketing, I like to know which doll I am purchasing to help stop the duplication of toys. However, for children it is all about the excitement of not knowing what is in the box.
My Dress To Impress Model doll came in a pink sparkly star box, this also doubles up as a display stand for the doll. Inside the box I found an 11cm articulated doll, a blonde hair piece, pink sunglasses, pink shoes, a denim dress, a small clear plastic stand, and denim outfit, also in the box was a collector’s card.
I received Denim Y2K,along with a DLC code for The Dress To Impress Model ROBLOX online game. All the dolls’ accessories are interchangeable amongst the series which is good if you have more than one doll. With the doll being articulated it makes it easy to pose her ready for the catwalk. I like that the storage box doubles up as the catwalk and display case.
However, I am not overly impressed with the quality of the whole toy. The Dress To Impress Mystery Model Doll, series 2, just feels and looks like a cheap plastic toy, unfortunately nothing about it shows any quality, from the doll to the accessories it just all feels cheap and of poor quality. To be honest it feels like the Dress To Impress Model Doll is more like an accessory to the Dress To Impress Model game on ROBLOX. The game is based around a fashion show, you are given a theme then you have 5 minutes to choose an outfit, the winner is the one with the most vote. As the doll is for ages 6+ and comes with a unique online code, internet safety must be paramount as ROBOX is a worldwide game.
My nieces already have a few of the Dress To Impress Model Dolls and they can create their own fashion shows, however they are more interested in the online codes that come in the boxes. You really need more than one doll to enjoy it as intended; it is hard to do a fashion show with one doll and outfit.
Having seen what is in the Dress To Impress Mystery Model Doll box, I must be honest and say I would not pay the RRP of £12.99, especially as you do not know which doll you are receiving.
If your child plays their online game on ROBLOX then they are going to want the whole set of dolls and the unique codes in the boxes. If this is the case, then they would being so close to Christmas a good stocking filler or Christmas/birthday gift for a school friend, at £12.99 it also makes them an affordable pocket money toy.
Dress To Impress Mystery Model Dolls series 2, AGE 6+ are available from all good toy shops, including Argos, Smyths Superstore, Amazon and The Entertainer.
Rating: 2/5
