 Really Cute! But not a Winner with the child Mar 31, 2010
By KC
"reading-FREAK!"
First, I'm going to copy the "features" list found on the tag that comes attached to the toy. It reads: "try my snap, button, fabric fastener and buckle! - I have a fabric pirate sword in my pocket - I have a parrot friend! - zip and tie my shoes to help you learn!" They didn't come right out and LIE about it, but the following list of PROS and CONS will help clarify what you REALLY get.
PROS:
~ Adorable from top-to-toe! He has a really cute face, an attractive & colorful outfit, & the eye-patch & the parrot are nice touches, too.
~ Well-made, mostly (Please read the list of "CONS" for further info).
~ The selection of fabrics look AND feel great.
~ The snap & button work well, & the pocket with the button is a real, usable pocket.
Adorable? Yes...no doubt about it.
Interesting to my child? Nope...chalk up one FAIL for the parents, but there are other, more tangible issues to be aware of.
CONS:
~ About the "mostly" part regarding how well made the toy is, here's the deal...THE BUCKLE. It only LOOKS like a buckle; it performs in no way like one would expect a buckle should. It's an over-the-shoulder strap with a faux, plastic, non-buckling buckle, with a tiny square of Velcro (or "fabric fastener" as they must have to call it) located on the underside of the strap. Educational? Barely. It's been used maybe three times, and the stitching along all but one side of the Velcro square is gone. It's now a flap of Velcro rather than a patch. Having said that, the rest of it is so well made, I have to believe this might be a fluke.
~ It's way more petite than I thought it would be. There's not much to work with, really.
~ The zipper shoe is only 1 1/2" long.
~ The laces -that can't be used to lace- are only 4" long, thick, & awkward with which to work.
~ I don't get the purpose for the dagger other than decoration. It's attached to the inside bottom of the pocket with a thick piece of elastic so when you try to pull the dagger out, the pocket gets all scrunched-up.
We'll keep it because we have a "thing" for pirates, and it's a really cute doll that looks good on the shelf.

Nice pirate doll Nov 07, 2008
By Ms T Momma
I bought this for Chirstmas for my then almost 3 yr old and he liked it. After nearly a year his "friend" has gone many places with us but my son has shown little interest in dressing or undressing the pirate to he really seems to be just a friend. He might be too young for that just yet as he doesn't button his own clothes but he does know how to dress himself for the most part. I can't say the doll helped teach him anything though but again, he is happy to have a pirate friend to adventure with.

Very cute! Aug 16, 2008

I purchased this for our 1 year old on his birthday. While he isn't coordinated enough to button and so on quite yet, he does love to play with him and roll around with him. I was glad to find this. It is so easy to find learning dolls for girls, but not for boys. Just adorable.

She is adorable Sep 12, 2009

This was Grandma's 1st doll purchase for my one year old granddaughter's First Birthday. We've already named her Mary. If you are looking for soft, cuddly, and a learning opportunity with buttons, shoes, zippers, etc, this is perfect.
