Your little Princess is begging for "Amazing Amanda", the hottest new toy on tv!  You might find yourself surprised by more than the $100 price tag on this one!

First let me say that this is not the doll for every child, many are scared to death of her at first sight.  I would say no younger than 5 for sure on this one.  Mom and Dad, be prepared to take stock in the Energizer Bunny as this is super heavy on the batteries.  She is also very difficult and takes a long time and much work to program.  Your child is certain to be frustrated by the fact that she does not come out of the box working "just like on TV"!  After several hours of voice matching and programming you finally have it right!....Maybe....the big flaw in this doll is that even after the most careful programming she still may not recognize your child's voice EVERY time...such a big disappointment!

Finally, where is the "pretend play" in having a doll who just does everything anyway?  This doll does nothing to encourage your child to role play or use her imagination.  She has a ready made best friend that came in a box! A better choice might be money spnt on a doll that YOUR CHILD makes into the friend she wants to cherish for life. 

Take a look at the American Girl dolls for the older child or the Bitty Baby for the younger set.  This is a doll that your child will develop that special love for and pass down to her child.  Money spent on a doll that she will never outgrow the love for!
