You can't spell ballerina without Erin! This Our Generation 18-inch ballet doll has beautiful brown eyes that open and close, and her long blonde hair is fun to brush and style before her recital. Practice pirouettes and perfect poses by bending Erin's knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles — she has movable joints to dance like a real ballerina! Create your own choreography as you dance to the song on the music box. Just wind up the key and let the sweet music play! The music box also doubles as an 18-inch doll stand decorated with a cute bow detail, so you can keep Erin safely in sight until the next show. This ballerina doll has a soft body and can rotate her arms and legs to easily change outfits to celebrate with her friends after her performance. She is wearing a removable (one-piece) pink ballet leotard with a tutu skirt, a braided hairband that matches her hair color for extra sweet style, and ballerina shoes with flat toes.

Q: What music does it play?
submitted by Teresa - 3 years ago
A: Hi Teresa. The song you will hear will make you want to dance along. The song name is a secret that only our little ballerina knows, and she won't ever tell. Happy dancing. The Battat Team
My daughters really liked these dolls they got for Christmas. I just wish there were more jointed dolls besides these two. My daughters both do ballet and wanted these but they have blue eyes and blonde hair and blue eyes and brown hair. It would be nice to have dolls that looked more like them but I'm glad they got these. They like posing them in different ballet positions and the music boxes are a great touch.

Wrong dress?

My doll was wearing a pink leotard and a blue skirt. It doesn’t look like the dress in the image. It also has a scoop neckline not a v neckline. Dissatisfied with these differences,

Beautiful Posable Ballet Doll Atop Music Box

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this ballet doll a couple weeks ago and my daughters have absolutely adored Erin ever since! She comes with a beautiful braided style hair and sits atop a beautiful opaque pink music box. She is Posable which makes her far more entertaining to any girl who wants to play with dolls. We’ve always loved the affordability and quality of the Our Generation brand and this Erin Deluxe Doll has been their favorite so far !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little miss was so happy to receive this gorgeous little doll. Like most little girls she fancies herself a ballerina. The hair is just what you'd expect for a ballerina and it stays put. The leotard fits perfectly. The tutu so precious. She has pose able limbs so she can dance. The stand and music box are just the iceing on the cake. My daughter is just enamored of this doll. If they came out with a stand that would rotate as well it would be 100 perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Our Generation Erin Ballet Doll was a perfect gift for my daughter finishing her first class of ballet. She turns and plays a beautiful melody. My daughter likes to put her in different positions she has learned in ballet. The extra joints on this doll makes it alot easier to change clothes as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When my daughter got this as a surprise, her eyes got wide like saucers in the best way possible. The clothes are interchangeable with many other similarly-sized dolls, but we keep her in these clothes since my daughter thinks ballet is amazing. Huge fans!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am definitely captivated by the story behind this doll, it is very sad but at the same time it shows the footprints left by loved ones and the challenge of achieving a goal. The dancer is very well done, all the joints move perfectly from side to side, she can be put in many positions, her eyes close when the doll is horizontal, her hair is very silky, soft and easy to handle, very realistic and it even comes with care instructions which I think is great. Her clothes are very well cooked, her filling is perfect without imperfections or parts that are more bulky than others. The music box is simple made of string but very functional to keep the dancer standing. Something that I think is great is that the box it comes in is recycled and I love it because it helps the environment. My girl loves her, and she has a lot of fun playing with her and she is so pretty that I plan to put her in her adornment room even if my girl grows up and no longer plays with dolls.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves this doll. The quality of the doll is amazing, she has a soft torso and her limbs are plastic but with movability/pose ability. Her ballerina outfit is perfect and made well. The doll stand is cute! It has a key on the side that you twist to wind up and it plays a pretty song.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little girl has been having so much fun with Erin her ballerina doll. She loves winding the music box and putting on dance shows. With bendable joints she can do many different dances and poses with her. She has a soft body and comes wearing a beautiful ballet dress and has pretty pink slippers. The music box is also a display stand when play time is over. This doll is any girls dream toy.

Beautiful but Disappointing
1 out of 5 stars
Unhappytoddler - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Doll feels very bulky and antique/breakable due to the awkward way it bends. It’s beautiful but not practical. Not the same as the new bendable Barbie experience!! The doll falls out of ballet stand, off balance. Would be neat if the stand rotated when music played once wound. Very disappointing. My toddler won’t play with it.

I purchased this doll through target.com I also purchased Shayla at the same time I love the articulation but I think it needs to be redesigned where it's not strong but more like the articulation or the ankles and the wrists are also her ballet slipper should be fabric and have ribbon tie I redid my doll's hair and I also brushed her cheeks and we painted her lips and I added a beautiful bow at the top of her hair with her Cascade of curls.

Adorable Face, but ...

RealBalletDancer - 3 years ago
I purchased 2 Erin and Shayla Ballerina Dolls. I returned all of them. The face is adorable. Precious! However, the head on all 4 dolls were floppy. The legs and arms had cracks. I don't know if it's a design/manufacturing issue or because the plastic ties are way too tight (packaging issue). The legs could not hold poses. I tried to put her in 4th arabesque, and her legs flopped down. When you put her on the music stand, she bends forward or back. Her arms could stay in 1st, 2nd and 3rd position nicely. Her hands are nice. The price point is good.

Hi RealBalletDancer! Thank you so much for your feedback. We always love to hear from our customers! We are so happy to hear that you love Erin's face, hands and arms. We have forwarded your comments on her head and legs to our design team for them to review. We are glad you like the moveable joints on this new OG doll. We're really excited about her - and all the happiness Erin will be bringing to kiddos all over the world! Sincerely, Team Battat

Selena - 3 years ago
Beautiful doll and appearance when I took her out of the box some of her seems have cracks and her head is very loose on her body nearly detaching itself there's not enough stuffing to give her head the support that it needs and her joints are quite loose they are strong by stringing excellent design concepts but poorly crafted and the reason why I gave it one star is because the head is wobbly like it's coming off of her body

Julia - 3 years ago
We find OG, more than the competitors. I supplement as needed, which is rare to be honest, and typically only need when OG is sold out of something or hasn't introduced a line. OG has thoughtful, functional designs that spark ongoing imaginative play which is what we seek. The details are impeccable and the quality has been fantastic (we have more items than I care to admit). We're hoping more items are added to the jointed line and perhaps a pickup truck could be added to the vehicles. It would be great for hauling fruits/veggies, animals, hay, beach toys, furniture on moving day ;) and so on. Of course it would need a functional tailgate but I'm sure OG would be on top of that! If it were cute and red or white and ohhhh right now the pumpkins it could hold even when not playing dolls!

it is good to see Our Generation pushing boundaries for the 18 inch doll scene. it started with their odd deluxe dolls being poseable but now this adds to the jointed doll love that is growing in popularity. I give her 4 stars because I am unsure of how much play they can have before they go loose. Depends on the child I guess but she will be fun for photography!
