Lifelike Features and Detailed Outlet
Each Liv Doll comes with their own story and personality. Sophie is a gifted hairdresser, and one day hopes to be a stylist for the stars. Among her friends, she's regarded as a kind and understanding person, and above all, a good listener. She's not afraid to experiment with new hairstyles (hence her wild, pink-streaked wig). Sophie comes dressed in a chic, urban outfit that suits her profession as a hairstylist. She's wearing a denim jacket, which complements her graphic tee and pink plaid skirt. Her outfit includes impressive details: from the seams of her shirt to her belt buckle, it is evident that a lot of effort was put into her design. Sophie's features are just as detailed. Her blonde hair is silken and soft, ideal for combing and styling. Her expressive blue eyes are striking, and have been inserted rather than painted for added realism. Sophie also has 14 points of articulation, which allows for dozens of lifelike poses. She can stand upright when balanced correctly. All of her clothes are removable, so your child can play dress up with her using other Liv outfits (purchased separately). Accessories and an Exclusive web site
A diehard fashionista, Sophie decorates herself with numerous accessories. She has removable silver earrings, and a stylish blue purse that matches her top. She also comes with a glittery scarf, a pink hairbrush and a fashionable pair of thick-rimmed glasses. These accessories are typically easy to detach, although smaller kids might need help removing her wig and earrings. Each Liv Doll also comes with a web code, so you can access the exclusive LivWorld web site. The site contains fun activities, videos and games made just for LivWorld fans. You can even read your doll's diary to get to know her better. Registration for the site requires parental supervision. What's in the Box

 Liv Dolls - Real Competition for Barbie! March 25, 2010
DIY for fun
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This review is from the perspective of an adult doll collector and diorama builder. I am not a parent, and this review is not from or for a child's perspective.
Every time I would cruise the toy aisle, looking for new, cool Barbie items, I'd leave disappointed by Mattel's new trend of overly pink and glittery, poorly painted, helmet hair headed, cheaply made stuff. Then one day, I noticed the Liv dolls. At first, I was a bit put off by them because of their slightly larger than usual heads. However, I loved their eyes (Which most people find creepy. They are inset, not painted on. But hey, that was the same fate that big headed, doe eyed Blythe suffered and look at her now!) They grew on me each time I'd visit the toy aisle, until finally I took the plunge and bought Daniela and Sophie (and I have since bought Katie).
Their bodies are articulated, so they can actually sit properly without falling over like a drunk sorority girl (*cough*cough*BabsImlookinatyou*cough*cough*), and they can even stand on their own (with a little patience). They just feel and look better made than Barbie does. Barbie does have an articulated doll on the market currently - The Fashionista series - but again, they pale in comparison to the Liv dolls.
I am very pleased as an adult doll collector with the quality of the dolls and their accessories so far. I am very aggressive with the articulation, and I have yet to break one of the dolls. That's not to say that the will not snap like a twig if you really try, but they endure my torture and are not delicate.
There are two waves of Liv dolls - the first wave of Katie, Sophie, Daniela and Alexis come with an extra wig. The second wave come with various accessories and their pet dog. Personally, I prefer all the wave 1 dolls with the exception of Daniela. I prefer Wave 2 Daniela. She has a much cuter face and outfit, but that is just my personal preference. I wish Liv dolls existed when I was a kid! I would have saved every penny I had and bought them instead of Barbie.
The wigs are reasonably priced at $5.99 and the first wave wigs come with a wig stand. Be aware that the second wave of wigs no longer include the cool wig stands. So, if you find some of the first wave wigs on clearance (which I've started to see), I'd snap them up for that reason. The wigs are very soft and silky, unlike the glued down helmet hair of the new Barbie era (Mattel - what is up with that?) Also, unlike Barbie, if your little girl decides to give Liv a haircut, you can get her a new head of hair for $5.99! Ah, I remember my first and last Barbie hair cut. The wigs come in really cool colors like pink, purple, green, blue, blonde, platinum blonde, blonde with colored highlights and brunette with colored highlights. There are lots of choices!
The accessories and outfits are super cute and do not look cheap or slutty (and the clothes are not cheap - one outfit costs $9.99 and sometimes you can find three outfit packs for $14.99 at various stores.) Don't buy from online auctions as they price gouge. You can get Liv stuff at brick and mortar stores and online retailers for reasonable prices. It just takes a little effort.
In my opinion, I think Liv dolls are real competition to everyday Barbie. I have collected and played with Barbies most of my life, and I never thought that I'd see a line of dolls come this close to toppling the reigning queen of the doll world. While I still carry a soft spot in my heart for the ol' gal, and I do love the retro re-releases and the collector series, the mainstream Barbies and accessories have just lost that umph for me.
Bravo, SpinMaster, Bravo! Give Mattel a run for their money!
Very pretty doll September 3, 2009

Unlike the last reviewer, we're rating the doll and not the website. My 7 year old daughter has finally found a doll that she will actually play with and take care of. She is tomboy and has been brutal to previous dolls, and some of them I was sad to see go. I am hoping she will enjoy this one for a long while and will want the other Liv dolls as they are all beautiful. As for the website, she hasn't been on it yet, but after today, we'll see.....
This is a GORGEOUS doll! December 18, 2009
Zoe Paris (Beverly Hills, CA USA)
This is the most beautiful doll I have bought in a long time. They also come with a great back story and each doll has her own personality. I really like the blue eyes on this doll, they are very realistic.
The outfit on the Sophie doll is really cute too. I also discovered that the bodies of Liv dolls are about the same size as Barbie but Liv has a more athletic, realistic looking body. Barbie clothing looks great on Liv dolls too, in fact some of it looks better on Liv than Barbie! This is a huge bonus to girls who happen to have a lot of Barbie clothing already. They can't share shoes BUT Liv can stand on her own (hard to do but possible) when she is wearing her sporty shoes.
The whole line of dolls overall seem to have a very clean, wholesome look. They wear clothing like regular teenagers. Another cool feature is the hair. It's very silky, as some other reviewers mentioned and they have wigs that can be changed. You can buy extra wigs for a great price too.
As a collector I hope these dolls do well. I would love to see SpinMaster add more stuff to this line of toys. I noticed the Liv hair salon and the cardboard fold-away house are sort of cheesy. The website too could use some changes and more updates but I won't let that affect my opinion of the actual toy. This is a great toy and once the company gets some feedback on the product I am sure they will make some changes.
The real test will be if KIDS like the dolls. If they sell well this holiday season, I am sure they will add more dolls, clothing and other stuff. I think this doll has a lot of good points: Cool hair, fresh looking face, nice eyes, moving joints and realism. I am sure I will get the other two dolls soon!
Better than Barbie January 23, 2010

Our daughter likes her Liv dolls better than Barbie. Seem to be made better.
Be patient, fun toy February 1, 2010

Online registration can be tricky but customer service was very helpful and it is well worth it. I know many reviewers were frustrated because initially it was difficult even to get online but tha kinks semmed to have been worked out and the company responded to my frustrated complaints and my kids now thoroughly enjoy both the doll and the online component!
