Customer Reviews
The wings constantly come off he doll. 
I would not recommend his Mariposa Barbie. The wings constantly come off the doll and it is not easy for a child to put them back on, requiring parent intervention every couple of minutes.
Mariposa Barbie
My purchase was sent to me very quickly. It was packaged very well, and it was in perfect condition! I was very pleased to give it to my niece for her birthday!
Design flaw on the wing assembly
As others have noted, there seems to be a design flaw on the wing. Once the curved sockets on the wing hooks onto the body, you're supposed to pull the wing forward where a little retention clip on the wing snaps into the body (this is hard to describe in a review!) Well, it just wouldn't clip, leaving the wing wobbly and unable to be played with without it falling off immediately. Upon inspection, there was a little extra bit of plastic blocking the wing from coming forward enough to engage the retention clip. It's clearly not intended to be there.
Fortunately, a little surgery on the back assembly worked. I used an exacto knife to hew off the plastic bit protruding out and once I did, the wing snapped in securely as it was clearly intended to do.
Long-awaited fifth birthday present salvaged and I have one happy little girl who is now snoozing with her arm around her new Mariposa doll.
I will post a picture of what I did in case it helps others, assuming I can find a time when said five year old is not hugging it.
