Amazing Ally

Pros: fun, and interesting
Cons: frustrating...annoying?

"Hi Happyface!"

Happyface? Is that just a little bit corny? This doll called my daughter "Happyface!"

If I called my daughter "Happyface" she would think I was nuts and walk away shaking her head in...

Pros: She has an off button!
Cons: Requires a lot of adult help

There are always a few toys we just can't stand our children playing with, and it seems those are the ones they love to play with!

Amazing Ally was a Christmas gift from our daughter's grandpa. Once we got this doll programmed, it was kinda...

Pros: cute gimmick
Cons: too complicated and doesn't allow the child to use her imagination

Thanks to the television commercials and the ever present peer pressure, my 6 year old daughter just had to have Amazing Ally this Christmas. It was at the top of her "wish list". Santa had a terrible time locating one of these hot little...

Pros: pretty, great concept
Cons: a lot of a small pieces

My daughter loves her, I am still undecided. My daughter is named Ally (Allison)and is 4 so she had to have the other Amazing Ally. My daughter plays with her a lot or at least more than most of her toys. Unlike the other opinions I read, she...

Pros: Highly sought after
Cons: High cost; too many parts;requires addons

When my three and a half year old daughter began asking for an Amazing Ally doll for Christmas this year I had misgivings thinking that this doll was just a little too sophisticated for a three year old and how could she possibly do everything she was...

Pros: What little girl doesn't like tea parties?
Cons: A lot of small parts, to high tech for the ages recommended

I bought Amazing Alley for my daughter last year for Christmas. She was all the rage and just had to have her. She was delighted to open the box and could not get her out fast enough. After that it was all down hill.

Alley comes with a tea...

Pros: Interacts with my daughter and she loves it!
Cons: Hard to find the Adventure Wear sets.

Amazing Ally was purchased for my Daughter for Christmas of '99. She desperately wanted it. We had a hard time getting it. We were on a waiting list for about a month. Finally, at the beginning of December we received the doll. She opened that present...

Pros: Cute doll, plays some neat games
Cons: Repeats the same stuff over and over and over

Amazing Ally was a gift for my 8 year old daughter for Christmas '99. When she first told me she had managed to locate the doll, I didn't even know what she was talking about. Apparently, Ally was the "must have" gift of the season....

Pros: Non stop fun
Cons: Can't comb the hair

Anyone that plays with this doll will have fun. I gave it to my 5 year old niece a few weeks ago and she loved it. My father, mother and sister loved it too. Be warned, this is a bossy, demanding and insistent doll. Despite her tea outfit, this is...

Pros: "interactive"
Cons: poorly designed

My 6-year-old daughter wanted this doll for Christmas last year. So I stood in line outside a mall toy store about two weeks before Christmas to try to get one. I had it on authority that this store would have 30 of them on a first-come basis. They...

Pros: Interacts with child, uses terms of endearment, remembers the date & child's birthday
Cons: too expensive

Pros: none
Cons: doesn't keep child's interest

My job this year was to find a doll for my mother to give all the granddaughters in the family. My niece wanted Amazing Ally so we purchased her along with several other dolls. Right away I wanted to try her out to see how amazing she really was....

Pros: Great concept, one of the first interactive dolls
Cons: Expensive for what you get, disappointing, annoying voice, and incredibly tough to operate.

Let me begin by saying that it took us weeks to figure out how to even get this doll to work the first time. I do consider myself somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to operating toys, being the mother of three lovely children whose interests range from...

Pros: interactive, amusing, state of the art
Cons: batteries difficult to install, not a soft doll

I purchased Amazing Ally as a Christmas present for my daughter who is
7 1/2. She was very hard to find but well worth the effort. I removed Ally from her box and inserted the batteries which was a little difficult to do. Ally requires 3 AAA...

Pros: I have found nothing "Amazing" about this doll
Cons: She has to many parts and is much to complicated for young children

I have yet to find what is suppose to be so "Amazing" about this doll. Amazing Ally is to complicated for children to understand. I paid $65.00 for this doll and I wish I had spent my money on something better. There are too many parts for...
