As a rule I avoid MGA's fashion doll lines. I just don't care for their squat big head aesthetic. But their new Dream Ella line with Barbie style sculpts and proportions had me interested. Plus, you know, Unicorns.

The color change surprise Fairies are a pretty blatant rip off Barbie color reveal. Same thing, dunk them in water to reveal the doll and open surprise bags for accessories. I do think MGA's bathtub blister bubble design over Mattel's tube is a little more messy. The Color Change Surprise Fairies are very good quality for the $9.99 price. The hair is really nice. It's long, soft and thickly rooted. You do need to trim down the clear rubbery plastic of the wig's skull cap which hangs down pretty far on the doll's face. The Fairy dolls have 5 POA. Ball hips but only rotate at the shoulders.
The first dolls are all budget priced. There are also $8.99 real world versions of the characters, Doctor, Baker and Pet Vet which, are not mystery boxed.
The Unicorns are also budget priced at $12.99 and again they are really nice for the money. Nice clean paint and a glitter horn. The mane has tinsel mixed in. They are also pretty big. I was impressed.
