She is actually much cuter in person. This is the ONLY doll my technolgy savy 4 year old asked for...LOL.. (So I think that should say something, she doesn't usually ask for dolls at all) I didn't find any on the shelves locally but I did buy it when it was on sale at the hasbro website. If you find one you might want to get one early and hold on to the receipt just in case.
