This is one of those toys I waited on getting until the price went down a bit [only to find two entire shelves selling them for just a fiver each at another store last month]. It doesn't do a whole lot, and there are better toys out there like this that do more, like My Pal Scout. But kids are eating up anything Kai-Lan, and this is one of the bigger toys, so a lot of parents are going to be suckered into getting it. Is this toy worth the price? Not really.
Kai-Lan does pretty much everything you see her do when she's in demo mode on the store shelf. She tilts her big head back and forth, and her eyes move around as she sings and the heart on her shirt changes colors. She sings a few short songs and that's about it for her features. You don't plug her into your computer to transfer new songs over, or anything like that.
The problems are with how Kai-Lan is made. She's all plastic with real clothes. There's no cuddle factor, and I can't see any youngsters carrying this thing around because of how heavy it is, and without breaking it once they drop it somewhere. One fall and this thing is toast, as many others have said. There's also an apparent fire hazard with this toy because of the motor inside, and I don't think that's something any parent wants to have around their child. I'm wondering if that's why I saw so many of these for super low prices recently.
I wouldn't recommend spending a lot on this toy. It's big, heavy, and the motor inside is pretty loud. If this were from any other show, I'm sure it wouldn't cost as much. The songs it sings are cute, but there are many other Kai-Lan toys out there, some of which include the same feature for less.Get more detail about Fisher-Price Super Special Friend Kai - Lan.
