I posted in products to see if anyone had one, and despite shameless self-bumping no one has replied.

I though Barbie was really popular!

We got one and had exactly the same problems as you- it would work for a coupl eof minutes then stop. IT was really annoying so dd just uses it as a BArbie now

Our daughter got it from her grandparents for her birthday, but we have not actually played the game. She is only 5, and is more of an active player than a computer player if that makes any sense.

It's a DVD game that is activated by the Barbie doll (as well as your DVD remote). But you have to set the doll using your remote and we've tried to do it 5 times now and the doll doesnt reposnd to the remote as the instructions say she should. It's a Sony DVD player so it;s not like an obscure make that may not behave as other makes - I would have thought.

The consolation is that her wings flutter as well so DD plays with her as a fairy only.

DD wanted to watch the

I think i might have one! Bought one in boots half price a couple of months ago and have put it away for dd Christmas present. Are you talking about the Barbie that can be used with a DVD game as a remote control?

My dd has a fairytopia doll I think but it's not a remote one - whatever they are.

I think DD1 had one last year but between DD1 and DD2 they pulled her apart. Is she the one that lights up?
