Shibajuku Dolls Review

amomentwithfranca · 5 August 2016 · 2 Comments

We received the prettiest doll ever for Bella to review! I’m talking about the Shibajuku Dolls by Flair. Wow, this doll is gorgeous and reminds me of Barbie. When I was little I was a huge fan of Barbie as you cannot beat a pretty looking doll like her, right? I used to collect them all and play for hours. When I saw this doll I was really impressed – it has a beautiful face and different coloured eyes – one green and one blue! How cool is that?

Shibajuku Girls are fashion dolls with a difference! They are dressed in the latest Harajuku fashions and are totally on trend with their coloured hair and quirky accessories. Each doll has her own unique style and personality which makes it even more fun to collect them all.

There are 5 dolls: Koe, Namika, Suki, Yoko and the one we received, Shizuka. They are all adorable and they are so fashionable. Each of them come with unique hair accessories that are really nice and can be shared with your girls. I think its a cool idea that girls can share the hair accessories with their doll! 🙂

I guess you might be wondering what is different about this doll to set it apart from others out there. Well, these are the main features:

  • Fully posable fashion doll
  • Dressed in the latest fashions
  • Glass eyes and real lashes
  • 4 hair accessories for both doll and girls
  • 5 to collect

Shizuka is clever, smart and kind and adores kittens. She has dreams of one day becoming a fashion designer and showing everyone around the world her cool looks! One of the things she loves doing in her free time is making music and her favourite instrument is the drums. Bella loves kittens, fashions and music too so this doll was perfect for her!

It was very cute to see Bella really enjoying playing with Shizuka and also swapping hair accessories. There are 4 super shiny hair accessories that are included with this doll which was very cool.

Bella also was very impressed with the glass eyes and real lashes. This was one of the things that stood out for me as they are really pretty. Bella also liked the idea of being able to move all her arms and legs. It comes with super fashionable clothes that can be removed as well as her shoes and socks. Another thing is that these dolls are taller than the standard doll size. They are 13 inches tall instead of 11 and a half inches which obviously also makes them stand out more.

These dolls are coming to the UK to stay and they are now trending everywhere. If you don’t believe me, read this Daily Mail article which explains it all pretty well! 😉

You can buy the Shibayuku Dolls in Smyths Toys for £24.99. Go and check all 5 of them and ask your kids to choose their favourite!

What do you think of the Shibayuku Dolls? Do you like them? Do you like Shizuka? What do you think of her eyes and real eyelashes? Leave a comment as I would love to know what you think.

*Disclaimer: I received the Shizuka doll from the Shibayuku Dolls collection in exchange for a review. However all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️
