   Am sure alot of you will have seen the add on tv for these dancing dolls from the barbie 12 dancing princesses.. there is the new large one that you get wrist bands with which correspond with the big barbie and the doll dances etc.

Have been looking at these in the last couple of weeks, they are a gorgeous doll, Paris adores them, but they are $90! wholly molly.. that's a heck of a lot, of a lot, of a lot. If she got that it would be pretty much the only thing she got for her birthday - we want to layby it now... which would go well since Kmart has 20% off Barbie etc. 

anyway... has anyone bought one of these dolls or seen one of them in action?

I have been on amazon.com and there are heaps of reviews, a fair few really good ones but mostly people saying it's a bit of a dissapointment. Ie: does not actually copy your child's moves.. but if you read what it's supposed to do it actually teaches your child to do ballet moves and tells them how to do them etc... of course it wouldn't copy every move they made. how stupid.. so i wonder about the credibility of the reviews.

if you have got one for your little girl, or have seen one in action - please tell me - was it worth it. It's a heck of alot to pay.. if it is something that she will love and treasure then it's worth it.. I know that if it works well she will love it, if not then no way do i want to get one and have dissapointed on her birthday with a glorified expensive barbie..

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
