Title: Don't buy now (in 2012)
Product review: This is a Groovy Girl from several years ago. I didn't think that was a big deal and got two, knowing my girls wouldn't even know the dolls weren't current. The main problem with the dolls is that their shoes are covered with a sparkly, vinyl like coating. The vinyl coating on both dolls shoes arrived cracked and falling apart. I don't think it's the sellers fault, it seems to just be the case that the materials have been sitting for several years and have broken down. The sparkly vinyl can be completely peeled off (there is fabric underneath) and the doll is very functional and cute. I would not buy this particular doll again because the shoe material coming off was very messy and not exactly something you want your kids to touch.
