Anyone's DD have Barbie Mariposa doll?!

This doll is the bane of my existence. My DH bought it for her about a year ago, and soon after we opened it, her enormous wings kept falling off, which sent DD into a meltdown because she didn't know how to put them back on. After a couple months of this, I hid the doll because I was tired of having to put her stupid wings back on every 5 minutes. But eventually DD discovered her and started playing with her again. I don't have the heart to throw the doll away because DD likes playing with her, but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of putting her wings back on.

Is your Mariposa doll like this, or did we get a defective one? Is it worth trying to buy a new one to see if her stupid wings actually stay on?!?!?!

  • Oh....the wings fall off all.the.time.

    Since they don't "flap", I wonder if super glue would help...I might try that.

  • Maybe we'll try the Super Glue too....Wow, if they're all like mine, that is just wrong!! They shouldn't be able to get away with selling such a defective product. And I still see it for sale in the stores. Toys are made SO cheaply these days. Angry

  • The wing's always fell off of dd's Barbie Mariposa. I was not sad when our dog got ahold of her and chewed off her legs. When dd and I went to the store to replace her they didn't have any Mariposas so we picked out another barbie.
  • Super glue those puppies on. AJ has that Barbie and LOVES it. The damn wings fell off every 3 minutes, so super glue it was.
