Well said, RLC! It's very true that the building options are more limited with the Mega Blok set, making it seem much more like a playset. The Barbie in the cover shot was from one of the larger sets ("Movie Star Barbie," 80206), and I also got these: In addition, the larger sets that include a figure and some small accessories were on clearance, and so they cost the same as the lone figures. The individually packaged figures are like candy-it's hard to buy just one of them. I would even be able to enlist the help of my son, who isn't usually too excited about the things I review.īefore I tell you more about the building sets I chose to compare, though, let me quickly show you a few of the mini figures I found. That's when it occurred to me that a comparison review of these two toys might be a lot of fun. Then, I browsed the Lego Friends sets that were shelved right next to the Barbie Mega Bloks.and then I began to notice that both companies offer similarly-themed sets: each has a beach house, a pool, a clothing store, an ice cream stand.and a pet salon. However, I can't seem to write a quick, simple review.so here we are.Īfter I selected a few of the Barbie mini figures, I took a passing glance at the Mega Bloks building sets that go with them.
MEGA BLOCKS DOLLHOUSE PORTABLE
I scooped up a few of these mini dolls, thinking that they would offer a fun, quick, mid-week review of what seemed like a nice, detailed, portable little Barbie doll: For kids over four, these mini figures offer a cute, articulated Barbie figure that costs less than than a latte. There was even a Barbie with pink hair! Since the aisles were packed with out-of-school kids begging their reluctant parents for a new toy, I was also struck by how clever this individual packaging is.
I was struck by how fun the range of dolls was: there were several versions of Barbie, two Ken dolls, and a Nikki. On this particular day, the display was almost completely full, with six different varieties of doll in stock. I've seen these Barbie figures before-or at least seen the place on the shelf where they should be-but usually the display is mostly empty and not very appealing. These tiny 2.5 inch dolls are packaged in single lipstick-sized boxes and cost under $3 each. I was browsing the aisles of Walmart when I came across a display of Mega Bloks Barbie mini figures. I did a short post way back when the Lego Friends were first introduced, but nothing since then.ĭespite the atypical subject of this review, it was actually inspired by a doll. Despite my family's passion for building, I rarely talk about this kind of toy here on the blog. While my kids were never as happy with the design of Mega Bloks' actual building blocks, we were all amazed by the realism of the dragon figures, and my eldest son played with his Mega Bloks dragon hoard for years. We've also owned a certain number of Mega Bloks sets-the most memorable ones being from the Dragons series. My youngest son is particularly passionate about these toys, and has built some impressive models over the years.
