Pros
Aesthetic Appeal: The Renee doll has a modern, chic look with her long black hair and purple highlights, giving her a vibrant and stylish personality. This makes her visually appealing to kids who love dolls with trendy looks.
Posability: Renee is fully posable, allowing kids to create a variety of fun and dynamic poses. This makes playtime more engaging and allows for creative storytelling.

Cons
Hair Quality: Some users have reported that the quality of the doll's hair could be improved. Issues such as tangling and frizzing have been noted, which can detract from the overall experience.
Clothing Durability: The quality of Renee's clothing, while fashionable, may not be very durable. Some users have pointed out that the top could be better made and may not withstand rough play.
Limited Articulation: While Renee is posable, her range of movement is somewhat limited compared to some other dolls. This can restrict certain poses, which may be disappointing for those looking for full articulation.

In Disney's Frozen, Anna is a spirited daydreamer who ends a wintry spell with the help of her sister Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf the snowman, and her own determination. Kids will love re-creating Anna's magical adventures in Arendelle with this delightful doll. Featuring true-to-movie details, Anna wears her signature outfit that fans of the film will instantly recognize.
This Elsa doll, from the new Disney film Frozen, captures the essence of her beloved character in her elegant fashion recognizable from the film. She sparkles in an ethereal gown, with a look both as delicate as a snowflake and as majestic as her own icy powers. A scoop neck strip of white showcases the gorgeous bodice of light blue sparkles accented with a deep blue ribbon sash. The long blue skirt stops just above the floor to provide a peek at her translucent blue heels. A sheer white overcoat detailed with snowflake sparkles completes the sophisticated look, while her flowing blond hair, pulled into a side braid and topped with a translucent, glittery blue tiara is the perfect final touch. Girls will love reenacting the adventures of Elsa from the film or creating new ones for this beautiful and elegant character.

Anna's half of the playset is the perfect place for the lovable character to call home.

Downstairs, Anna can enjoy a tasty treat in her kitchen, which features a stovetop that flips into a tabletop, or she warm up by the “fire” on her cozy chaise complete with pink pillow. Elsa's half features a massive room with a translucent blue “icy” throne, complete with a special spot to rest her scepter. Elsa stays beautiful with a vanity of her own, which doubles as a bed and has a beautiful printed blanket. Flip the playset around to reveal a majestic "snowy" mountain with a slide for the sisters to take a ride. Castle comes with 10+ film-inspired accessories, including an adorable Olaf the snowman figurine, who can also go for a ride down the mountain slide. Dolls sold separately.
