Bought this for my 9 year old granddaughter for Christmas. Of course she hasn't seen him yet, but I love playing with him! It takes about 10 seconds to learn how to move (don't forget to remove the velcro from the straps - they prevent the straps from getting tangled in transit). I know my GD will love it and now I will buy another doll, another one for her and her friend to play with when they are together.
