Manhattan Toy Dress Up Pirate Review
Our daughter received this doll from Santa this year for Christmas, at 20 months. And she has loved her since she opened her. Her daddy helped her name the doll Princess Kate, and now she is a part of the family. She goes everywhere. Our daughter sleeps with her, and carries her all over the place. It is also a great toy for learning dressing tasks. I had a similar doll when I was young, though not as cute! Our daughter is already able to do several of the tasks - zipper, snap, button, and velcro. The shoe tying will come in time! This princess was slightly bigger than I expected her to be when she arrived, but that's a positive thing. I would highly recommend this princess for other little girls.

Absolute Perfection! - Jessy Ko - All Over the, USA
I have given this toy as a gift four times, once to my nephew, also to a neighbor for her son, again for a good friends son for his birthday, and I now have one for my son.
It has been an absolute hit every time with both the parent and the child.
Their are so many ways to play with this pirate, imaginative, nurturing, and dress up practice.
It is well made, soft, cute, and all boy. Truly a treasure.
Just remember the manufactures recommended play age is 18 months, I have given this pirate to two year olds and up only, and found it really is a hit with this age.
Really Cute! But not a Winner with the child - KC - Northern Virginia
First, I'm going to copy the "features" list found on the tag that comes attached to the toy. It reads: "try my snap, button, fabric fastener and buckle! - I have a fabric pirate sword in my pocket - I have a parrot friend! - zip and tie my shoes to help you learn!" They didn't come right out and LIE about it, but the following list of PROS and CONS will help clarify what you REALLY get.
PROS:
~ Adorable from top-to-toe! He has a really cute face, an attractive & colorful outfit, & the eye-patch & the parrot are nice touches, too.
~ Well-made, mostly (Please read the list of "CONS" for further info).
~ The selection of fabrics look AND feel great.
~ The snap & button work well, & the pocket with the button is a real, usable pocket.
Adorable? Yes...no doubt about it.
Interesting to my child? Nope...chalk up one FAIL for the parents, but there are other, more tangible issues to be aware of.
CONS:
~ About the "mostly" part regarding how well made the toy is, here's the deal...THE BUCKLE. It only LOOKS like a buckle; it performs in no way like one would expect a buckle should. It's an over-the-shoulder strap with a faux, plastic, non-buckling buckle, with a tiny square of Velcro (or "fabric fastener" as they must have to call it) located on the underside of the strap. Educational? Barely. It's been used maybe three times, and the stitching along all but one side of the Velcro square is gone. It's now a flap of Velcro rather than a patch. Having said that, the rest of it is so well made, I have to believe this might be a fluke.
~ It's way more petite than I thought it would be. There's not much to work with, really.
~ The zipper shoe is only 1 1/2" long.
~ The laces -that can't be used to lace- are only 4" long, thick, & awkward with which to work.
~ I don't get the purpose for the dagger other than decoration. It's attached to the inside bottom of the pocket with a thick piece of elastic so when you try to pull the dagger out, the pocket gets all scrunched-up.
We'll keep it because we have a "thing" for pirates, and it's a really cute doll that looks good on the shelf.
Great quality doll - KMR -
I bought this for my daughter to help her learn to button, tie, etc. Although the doll is adorable and very well made, so far she hasn't shown much interest. I would still recommend since it's cute and durable and can teach the basics.
