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
Sophie doll with clothes and accessories, pink-streaked wig, and comb.

Very pretty doll
 
Review Date: September 3, 2009
Reviewer: Darlena Martin, Philadelphia PA
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!

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

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!
Thanks and God Bless
