Review: Tropical Splash Ariel - I used to have one of these when I was five, so I relived childhood opening and displaying this doll. The only thing I disliked was the crunchy gunk in her bangs but that was an easy fix.
Review: Very pretty mermaid - Found her on here not too long ago. I was so surprised because she is such a rare doll. She's so beautiful, and her tail and fins are amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tropical Splash Ariel
*by N***E on February 8, 2014*

I used to have one of these when I was five, so I relived childhood opening and displaying this doll. The only thing I disliked was the crunchy gunk in her bangs but that was an easy fix.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pretty mermaid
*by Z***E on March 14, 2014*

Found her on here not too long ago. I was so surprised because she is such a rare doll. She's so beautiful, and her tail and fins are amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best Ariel dolls ever!
*by R***N on January 21, 2011*

Unlike other mermaid Ariel dolls, Ariel is dressed head to toe in blue with her fins turning green in the water. She looks great in blue fins. Only her arms and head are moveable as her tail is made of hard plastic. The fins are made of fabric, which allow for movement there. Overall, this is one of my favorite Ariel dolls.
