My three year-old daughter is familiar with "My Little Pony" but she has only watched the show a couple of times. Despite not being a huge fan of the show I thought that she would enjoy the "Walking Talking Pinkie Pie" and to some extent she did. Make no mistake this is a one-trick pony (sorry I couldn't resist the bad pun) Pinkie Pie has several phrases that she squeaks out and then she begins to walk.
My daughter found it interesting at first. She especially like Pinkie Pie's purple headband, but she soon lost interest. My wife and I were somewhat thankful for her lack of interest since Pinkie Pie has a squeaky voice, is plenty loud, and does not have a volume control.
Notes-
- Pinkie Pie seems to move primarily in an arc - not a straight line. Not that big of a deal, but we found that she needed a several feet of room or she would be bumping into things.
- Will not work on carpet.... wood floors, ceramic tile, and other hard surfaces should be ok - but carpet will be a no-no
- Comes with 2 AA batteries
- Make sure you take Pinkie Pie out of "Try Me" mode if you want to hear all of the phrases.
- As mentioned Pinkie Pie does NOT have a volume control
- Only comes with one accessory - a headband. A lack of additional accessories is kinda nice since it means fewer things that will get lost, thrown away, buried in seat cushions.
- Not small - about 5" in height, but short enough so that Pinkie Pie is not too top heavy and falling over.
Final Verdict - The My Little Pony "Walking Talking Pinkie Pie" is probably a great gift for any little girl who like "My Little Pony" - however the toy probably lacks the pizzaz to keep non-fans and casual fans interested.
