Our verdict

88 / 100

The color change gives a visible trick that kids can repeat, so the doll earns a place at the sink or in the bath. Hair styling and a dolphin friend add other ways to play.

Best forA child who loves mermaids and bath-time or water play.
Best occasionBirthday, Christmas
Avoid ifIf the child wants a doll that stays dry, since the main feature relies on water.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
