Spinnerella: Reviews and Discussion

[Barbecue17]

So...Spinnerella,

Just saying.

Seriously, though, she has some nice design features (like the hair and bodice) but the hanging straps are just poorly executed. Kind of average overall.

Im a huge POP fan, however I have no interest in this lavendar fantasy Barbie. There's a few spaces on my display shelf for Dylamug, Hunga, Shadow Wing, and maybe even Queen Angella (since she was a series staple), but for me, with the exception of Razz and Glimmer, many of the POP ladies have virtually no place in my heart.

The arm tassels are the only real problem with Spinnerella. They should have figured out a way to make the arm tassels removable. This way you can have them attached with her arms spread out to the side or forward, holding a staff or whatever... or if you want to have her arms in the down position, relaxed... the tassels could be removed instead of sticking out from behind, defying gravity. There's always a solution, it's just a matter of the designers knowing, not knowing, or wanting to handle the issues. As far as how the tassels look, being all plastic and thick... I don't have an issue with that because that's how toys are when soft goods aren't used.

Yeah, removable or swiveling forearms definitely would have been an improvement.

they should have made the ribbons swivel like vintage rio blast hand guns, but the 4H & matty hate the girls & have done a terrible job on every single female besides the main 4.

That's funny!

I feel like Spinnerella had a lot of time and effort put into her but anytime one of the MOTUC figures does something really different, there seems to be an equal chance that they'll either knock it out of the park (Modulok) or that they'll crash and burn (Sorceress).
