Jewelia was the first Fairytopia dolls to catch my eye, though yet the last one to be bought. I was won over by her transparent glowing body and found it quite original. She's very special. I don't usually buy dolls who smile openly, showing their teeth, but she's one of few exeptions. I really like her hairstyle, that's very cute, and the way her eyebrows color matches the colour of her hair. Though her hair had posed some kind of problem. On coming out of the box, it was too heavily gelled. Maybe, that's good for children who make doll's hair look messy very soon, but being an adult copllector, I prefer doll's hair to be soft and pleasant to touch. So I had to comb it and wash it thoroughly. Now it's OK.
I often face such problems with Barbies.

Jewelia's arms and legs are made of hard plastic and seem to be quite fragile. Legs are not bendable at all. That's true, her wings don't stay on well - I took them off at all and she's sitting on my shelf wingless, also because they don't let her sit well, overweighting her. The boots don't stay on either, but that's because her legs are hard. I tried them on another Barbie with regular bendable legs and they stayed on rather well. As for the outfit, I didn't find it difficult to put it on and off at all. Maybe, for a child of 3 - but not for adult. And it doesn't come off.

They way she glows is rather weird. She has red lights in her thighs and yellow in her belly. It would certainly look better if the colours were blue and lilac.

But overall, to me she's one of absolute favourites. Very, very outstanding

My granddaughter wanted a barbie for Christmas, she is also into fairies. When she received this she started to cry she was so happy. She takes it with her everywhere. She is 3 so you know that it is durable to withstand a 3 year old. All in all this is a very good product.

Jewelia the Glowing Fairy could be told as my favorite fairy doll ever, but here are some things/problems that I want to tell people about. Jewelia CANNOT, and I repeat CANNOT sit alone without something to lean on. Once, I put her on my desk, and she fell backwards. And, this doll CANNOT do spilts.(Front and slide) Her fashions are very delicate. Barbie's purple front part of the skirt broke, while i'm trying to fit it on with the back part. Tip: NEVER, EVER squeeze the skirt too hard, and be carefull. DON"T put anything heavy on top of it. It WILL be crushed. And, I was totally wrong about the wings. They will stay on for a while, (Like...for 2-3 days out of the package) But afterwards, they fall of constenly.
But overall I like to say that this doll was a big hit to me, and in this low price, ($9.99) i don't REALLY expect it to be perfect.(But hey, nothings perfect) I love the Glowing teqchiqies, and the cute face too! I would really recommened it to Fairy, and Barbie lovers. Hope this Helpes!

I'm very suprised of all these bad reviews on this toy. I mean, this toy is VERY cool!! And it really sparks your imagination. Her wings, clothes, and her crop top stays on really well!! Only her shoes didn't stay on. But that's actually fine with me. Her shoes are very thick, and in my opinion, they don't look good on Jewelia's thin feet. When you put her skirt on, remember to but the front part on first(It might not be on the instructions, but that is due to my own experiances.) then, when you snap on the the back part, be sure to clip on at least one part of the front skirt, so that the back part and the front part will be conected. After that, it won't fall unless you threw it, or simply removed it. Her wings are very very beautiful!! It sparks with 3 different colors, Purple, White, and Turqoise. It's very brilliant. I love her glowing teqniches. After you push the button at her back, her body, and her two legs will glow altogether, then, the right leg dims down, and then the body follows, afterwards, two legs darkened, then, all togaether, they glow again, and they stop. (I'm not really sure if everysingle Barbie has the same glowing system, so I had my own Barbie for an example.) Her whole body is like...see through, except for her legs. Her face is really cute, and her hairstyle is like...there are two pony tails at her back, and then, it's parted in to 3 parts, and at the front, it is highlighted blue, with a little remains of brown. Here are my explanations for my stars:

Fun: Defeinatly!!! I spend hours playing with her, and flying her around the house!!!

Educational: Not if you're learning about fairies!! but sometimes, toys are for people to enjoy, not to LEARN!!

Durablility: I'm not really sure, but due to her stiff body, it MUST last me for a looooooong time!!

Overall: This is a really cute toy, and i highly recommened it to any fairy lovers, or Barbie lovers. A very sweet barbie to add to anyone's collection. Hope this Helpes!!!
