They become fast friends and have so much fun using Tika's trunk as an exhilarating ride, twirling and whirling 'round and 'round.

Tika measures 13"L x 4.5"W x 12"H; dolls each measure 4.25" tall.

Customer Rating: Summary: gift for my baby sis Comment: I got this as a low-cost, high impact barbie gift for my little sis. She couldn't have been more excited, and for the price I'm glad to have stolen the show at her birthday party. It held up well to 4 -5 year olds and 2 supervising 13 year olds, and some interested adults at the party, and was still in working order when I visited my sis a few months later. The only issue is that, like with many barbie toys, the smaller pieces were nowhere to be found on my later visit. Customer Rating: Summary: Sweet toy for 5 yr. olds Comment: My daughter loves this toy. The elephant is cute and will pick up the little dolls with no problem if you practice a bit with the template. My 2 year old grabbed it...and no doubt the elephant trunk will come off. I suggest buying it for an adept 4 year-old or 5 and up. Tika has glitter on the exterior, which scored points for my daughter and she loves playing with the little princesses along with her Island Princess doll.Mattel Barbie As The Island Princess Princess Rosella Doll Customer Rating: Summary: Great toy. Kids played with it all Christmas Day Comment: Great value. Kids 6 & 4 loved it. It was their favourite Santa Present.
Works very well when using the template but was also fun trying to guess where to put the doll to get picked up. Very good magnets in dolls and on trunk of elephant.
Was wary of it due to other poor reviews but they were not warranted. Toy is very good and well made.
Customer Rating: Summary: Not for 3 yr old Comment: I have a 4 yr old and 3 yr old who opened this from Santa and after less than 5 minutes of playing with it - managed to break off the trunk - which then kept happening. Also my girls wanted to hold the trunk as it was moving and that caused it to make a ticking sound like it was going to break. So while this is such a cute toy and looked great on the commerical (it doesn't move as smoothly as shown on tv), its for a little bit older of a child. Customer Rating: Summary: Lots of fun!!! Comment: If you have an ounce of patience you'll be able to figure out just where to place the elephant and the little girl so the trunk will pick her up 99% of the time. Lots of fun!!!
