My only real negative was the plastic shell for her robe as I think it would have been nicer if this was an actual material dressing gown that you could unwrap to reveal – and use again afterwards! As it is, it just becomes yet another piece of plastic that is likely to go straight to landfill which is a bit disappointing. Overall, Erin really enjoyed the makeover experience of the FailFix dolls, and has enjoyed playing with them with her other dolls after the makeover was complete. It is also handy that the clothing is a similar size to other dolls she has, so she has enjoyed swapping and changing their outfits. With 5 different dolls and 5 different ‘fails’ to fix, children will love trying to collect them all. The FailFix Squad (friends Kawaii.Qtee, PreppiPosh, Dance.Stylz, LovesGlam and SlayitDJ) are Fail Fix Fashion dolls – they have attempted some make over tutorials watching videos online, but things haven’t gone quite according to plan! Their make up looks an absolute mess, they’ve managed to get their accessories and shoes all tangled in their hair(!) and they are far, far away from pulling off their desired look! Other than that minor gripe, I loved that the dolls are a diverse mix with unique personalities and styles, a good size and are fully possible making play time really fun.

Alyssa next to Liv would be a great little sister - or even daughter! Liv legit looks like her mom in that picture. They'd be great to play with together. There's never been a doll that I relate to more! These Fail Fix Dolls look like mummy the day after a night on the town. Don't worry though, all the fun is making them look great again.

Finally, you can finish off your Fail Fix doll’s transformation using the included tools and accessories to create the look she was originally attempting to achieve. Hairstyles include a Mermaid Braid, Cutie Buns, High Ponytail, Up Style, Faux Hawk and Red Carpet Curls depending on the character you unbox. We had Kawaii.Qtee and DanceStylz.

The idea behind this line is that you can fix the doll's "failed" hair and makeup to make them look better. The chaotic hair can be untangled and brushed, and the stressed-out face plate can be removed to reveal a calmer visage. The makeover element would have been more than enough to tempt me (I love a good makeover!), but what's even better is that the FailFix girls are essentially surprise dolls--with one of their actual faces being the mystery! I don't think I've ever bought a doll without knowing what their face looks like.

There were also some hair accessories that we didn’t use (namely the small little elastic bands) but presumably these are included so that other hair styles and ‘looks’ can be created too. Erin did need some assistance with some of the hairstyles (as it wasn’t always immediately obvious where to clip things) but really enjoyed brushing and styling their hair and lifting off the mask to reveal. The brushes have got tangled, their faces are red and smeared with the make up which shouldve been on their eyes and well… they are far from showcasing the look that they had in mind when they started!
