This is a stock photo of the box. |
Keep in mind that mine is second hand and I'm missing the smaller accessories to this play set. |
I agree with the review I read that said the bar parts don't join together very well. |
...a stool...
The stool is very tiny for dolls any bigger though. In fact, the seat is so tiny that even Moxie Girlz should have a hard time keeping their butts on it.
Amazingly,she stayed on really well.
The stool didn't turn over either.
...a chair...
The chair is very low,although I've seen Barbie furniture try to get by with things the same height. |
It looks short,even with the dolls intended for it. |
I'm missing the icicles for the roof edges.
The roofing snaps on---not very well---and the icicles would fit into the channel on the edge. |
This is the stock MGA picture. |
I'm also missing the fire for the fire place, which would have been nice to have. The fire and the fireplace are usable from the inside or the outside. Why you would want to have a fireplace that goes straight through to the outside,I don't know.
The inside. |
The outside. |
The fireplace is a pass-through. this is the outside. |
The idea of the Magic Snow Cabin was that it was a snowy lodge for the Magic Snow Moxie Girlz dolls.
The dolls modeling the set are Magic Snow dolls Owen, Avery,and Kellan. (You can see my post on Kellan HERE,and on Avery and Owen HERE.) As for the set,it is sized for Moxie Girlz,so don't get the idea you're going to use it for Barbie sized dolls. The walls are way too low for Barbie,Monster High,Ever After High, or other dolls of that scale. It's ok for anybody 10 inches tall, and a bit below.
The dolls each came with a snowflake Christmas ornament looking thing filled with 'magic snow'. When water was added to the 'magic snow' it increased in volume. It was supposed to resemble real snow. I can see it being a sloshy mess,but then, I haven't tried it. The Magic Snow Cabin had a 'fun' feature of it's own. Well,you can call it fun. I wouldn't think it was fun if I had to clean up after it. In fact, I might not have thought it was very fun if I were a kid playing with it. The gimmick is that you can 'make it snow' by placing the fake snow, that came with the set, in the chimney and turning on the switch in back. Then the snow,which was made of tiny styrofoam balls,came shooting out of the chimney.
Out of this tiny hole they have instead of a normal chimney opening. What does Moxie Santa do? |
You can see all the Magic Snow dolls and the cabin playset on YouTube HERE,and you can watch the commercial for the Magic Snow Cabin HERE.
There's a full review of the cabin at Growing Up is for Quitters. You can see that HERE.
its very cute, I have two moxie girls and a Mercedes that's missing a front window (dang kids)
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute. I am a little confused though. Are they supposed to be indoors or out of doors? I am trying to understand the need for a shovel.
ReplyDeleteUh...both? And the shovel is for the fake snow,which would actually be everywhere BUT the shovel,I can assure you!
DeleteThe cabin is cute, but it doesn’t seem like much of a playset - more of a backdrop I think. There just doesn’t seem to be much to it. And the “magic snow” seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I think if someone wants a small cabin for their dolls, the Liv doll Maple Lodge was a better playset than this one. I’ve looked at the Liv doll lodge on eBay several times but so far haven’t purchased one yet. I’m sure I will eventually.
ReplyDeleteHaving looked at the Maple Lodge set,k I see some of the some problems with it. At least it's taller,and best of all: no snow!
DeleteIt's funny, I actually just donated my Magic Snow Cabin to the thrift just this past week!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a mixed bag of a playset, isn't it? It's not quite tall enough to pass as a house, not fully realized enough to be a decent backdrop. And that "snow"! Someone was insane when they decided tiny styrofoam pellets was a great accessory to have. It's arguably worse than glitter!
Agree with all points. Maybe we should design these things!
DeleteI watched the video and it looks like the snow made the girls cough! I didn't watch it with sound, so I could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteIts cute but that snow stuff just seems a mess. And tossing tiny pieces of plastic in the air where we can breathe it in? Um, no.
The whole thing sounds like a disaster.
