Kuu Kuu Harajuku Tour Bus

1st thing, this toy is way bigger than I expected. I didn't know it came with the doll either. 1 of my twins asked for it for her birthday. They're gonna be so happy because we thought they were more like mini toys. I bought the stage too as a combo.

My 5 and 7 year old daughters loved this as soon as it was out of the box... and I'm pretty sure I'm never getting my phone back! They have a fun time putting the phone in and making the dolls dance on the stage, and driving the bus around. I'm not a fan of "single purpose" toys but this is proving to be better than I had expected it to be. There's enough this toy does to allow both of them to play with it together, and it's versatile and open-ended enough they can make up different stories and can play for a long time without getting bored with it. As a mom, I also really appreciate a few thoughtful things they put into the design of this toy... I was a little worried about losing the tiny charms that come with the dolls, but the little storage compartments and the holes in the tour bus door and "wings" on top to hold the charms is great so they won't get lost or stepped on. You can also store the dolls inside. That's always something that I worry about with toys with small parts, but they've managed not to lose them yet! It was a little bit hard to get out of the box because of the heavy-duty plastic parts holding it to the bottom, but the toy was as solidly made as the packaging, and was heavier than I expected, which makes me think it will last. Overall, we're giving it three thumbs up! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
