Product description
The product will also be available in two other styles: Light N’ Sparkle Princess and Light N’ Sparkle Barbie. Each doll consists of a plastic full figure three-dimensional representation of a human female figure depicting popular children’s characters that are dressed in translucent full-length gowns and are standing on a circular plastic base. The doll figurines measure 12” high (including the base) by 4.5” wide by 4.5” deep and feature a battery powered interior light and fan. Turning on the power causes the gown to light up and sparkle in an amusing manner. Also included are two coloring markers, an assortment of jewel-like stickers with adhesive backs and one glitter tube brush to apply a glitter coating. These items are for use in decorating the gowns so that the child can engage in role play by pretending to dress the doll in various bejeweled gowns. The figurines are principally designed for the amusement of children 3 years of age and older.
