The MEGA Barbie Color Reveal Dolphin Exploration toy-building set is a lovely building set to keep kids busy. I bought it for my 6-year-old daughter and she loved it. The instruction was clear and she could manage to assemble without much help from a grown-up. While the description covers both, in my opinion, this set might attract girls more. There are a couple of tiny pieces and it is important to keep them away if there are young kids at home. Overall, it is a great building set for kids.
I wasn’t overly familiar with the MEGA construct system before, but I was pleasantly surprised that the peg placements seemed to be broadly compatible with our existing lego, so it makes integrating this new toy with our current ones easy and is a lovely unexpected bonus as it means we can buy more into this without having to scrap what we already have. This looks like official branded merchandise and a nice recognisable twist on the more modern version of Barbie. Our children have really enjoyed it.
I got this for my daughter who is Barbies mad. It’s just like Lego, just as good quality.
It’s quite small but nevertheless just as good. You can build 3 different little sets. Which are all easy to build and put together. It come with very simple and easy to follow instructions which my 5 year old followed and built this her self. It’s all good quality the blocks are good quality, it’s very colourful and fun.
There are multiple different parts to this barbie set that are colour changing. You just need to use water, it’s really reactive to the water changes straight away. This has offered my daughter so much fun. Really easy to put together. Comes with lots of little added extras. Great value for money, it makes a great birthday or Christmas present.
This colour reveal set is incredible, includes a small painted suprise doll which needs to be placed into water to wash the paint off and reveal the look. Kids love this bit, sadly it’s a one time only thing.
The set of tiny lego style pieces is fantastic quality but imagine will be lost easily.
For the size its expensive, however the quality is top tier and will last a long time.
Mega Barbie Set is really going to blow your child’s mind.
We have all sorts of blocks to build a water and island and a boat which took our nephew a while. Well made pieces can definitely withstand some heavy play.
Little characters change colour when you apply heat to them. Rubbing in hands as a magic trick or a cup of warm water will do. The kid was super excited.
Super fun and comes at a good price too in comparison to some other toys. Sturdy and colourful. Our lil nephew adores this set and so does he’s older sister.
This set is going to be a huge hit with my niece, who is nearly five, and graduating from Duplo to ‘proper LEGO’. Or BLOX to MEGA Construx, in this case.
Mattel’s Mega is the US’s equivalent to LEGO, in case you didn’t already know. As such, it has official licenses with Barbie, Pokemon and others. The quality is high and it should be regarded as an alternative to LEGO rather than a copy.
This Barbie set is great for younger children. It uses components from the ‘big kids’ Construx range, combined with large pre-shaped components like the pool, and larger Barbie figures – or Micro-dolls as MEGA call them.
The set has a ‘secret feature’, in that some of the pieces change colour in water. I wasn’t hugely impressed with this feature. The larger dolphin has hearts ‘tattooed’ on its side, which are supposed to change colour. No matter what I tried – running water, dipped in water, really hot water, really cold water – I couldn’t get the pattern to change colour.
The micro-dolls arrive in a uniform blue colour. I dipped one in water expecting it to change colour (or not), and was surprised to find the water changing colour and my fingers getting sticky. The figure is actually PAINTED in water-soluble paint, which washes off when you dip it in water. It’s a once-only thing, and I can see lots of little people being upset that the figure only changes once. More should be made of that in the packaging – it’s a ‘reveal’ feature, not a colour change. To be entirely fair, it does say that in the name – Barbie Colour Reveal Dolphin Exploration.
If I dip the figure in cold water, a very faint pattern appears on the hair, as indicated in the instructions, but nowhere near as bold as they suggest. I think perhaps the very hot weather has affected the colour-change paint while the toys were in the warehouse.
Aside from that, the rest of the set is exactly as expected. The parts come in clearly-numbered bags,and the instructions are comprehensive and clear. The fit of the pieces is excellent and there is a good mixture of large and small bricks so it’s challenging without being fiddly. Once built, there is lots of play potential, which is something missing from a lot of other brick-building sets.
The micro-dolls can be dismantled, in particular the top-knot of their hairstyle comes off so you can fit the hats that come in the set.
Overall, a great set that’s a lot of fun. Mine has some issues with the colour change, so I’ll have to manage my niece’s expectations slightly (especially since I’ve already done the once-only ‘reveal’), but it’s not really a huge feature of the set.
This is a review for MEGA Barbie Color Reveal Dolphin Exploration toy building set with 10+ surprises, 2 micro-dolls and 2 dolphins, toy gift set for girls and boys, ages 5 and up, HHW83
This is a really nice little building set. It is very similar to Lego, where you build using small blocks that connect to each other. It is fun to do and would make a lovely Birthday or stocking present. It is is good value for money and my daughter has really enjoyed building it.
How can we be so sure, well she already has some Barbie sets, she has also been the recipient of a few of the Hogokids sets when I completed them, it was not the plan but when she saw them being done, she really wanted to try and she was really rather good at it, with minimal adult help.
So the fact that this set is 114 bricks and colour reveal surprises as well only heightens the anticipation of seeing her face when she unwraps up and starts to play.
My only real worry is that this becomes her gateway to the world of Mega Barbie because that will just lead to lots more presents I have not yet planned for, a nice problem to have really.
At just 22 the price seems to be relatively normal compared to similar build projects within a brand and will easily make an excellent and much-loved gifting idea.
The little girl loves her new Barbie Dolphin building bricks. She thinks it’s Barbie Lego, even though it’s not. She loves building it up and pretending the carpet is the sea, whilst she looks for more dolphins. She is super impressed by the colour reveal of the dolls, and the hidden surprises that are activated by water. She absolutely lovely this Barbie set. Excellent price in my opinion, great gift for any girl whether its a birthday or Xmas.
My daughter loves this set as she loves Barbie and anything pink. This set comes with 2 Barbie Color Reveal micro-dolls, 2 dolphins, 114 bricks and special pieces.
The instructions are fantastic and are very easy to follow for children making it an enjoyable build for them.
She loves playing with water and the sponge doing the colour reveals..
For me this is a 2 in 1 toy.. firstly the initial build teaching fine motor skills etc then secondly the gameplay after, increasing the longevity of the toy.
Great for gifting too.
This set is great fun for barbie or construction block fans. Good quality, as good as the leading brand of this kind of toy! The colour reveal is a really nice touch on the little barbie figures. Really fun to build. Highly recommend!
This is the Barbie colour reveal set from MEGA and is akin to Lego.
It is a building set that provides not just the fun and achievement of building a toy but the fun of playing with afterwards.
2 micro Barbies complete the set.
Good value and good quality

My little one loves it. We had to build together (like all the legos with my son too) but once done she really enjoyed. She loves the fact that is very pinky and has many parts. Great peace of kit.
My niece loves it. It’s pink, has dolls, and is similar to Lego.
She enjoys building, and this type of toy set helps to develop creativity. kept her busy for a while.
This lovely set would make a great gift for Christmas, and the price is affordable 24.95.
Arrived very well presented in its own box, very well packaged, and with fast delivery.
I would highly recommend it.
A perfect little construction kit for the person (child or otherwise) that loves dolphins.
I would say Barbie but there’s barely any resemblance here other than maybe the colour scheme and the logo on the box.
The instructions are easy enough to follow and the pieces fit together well for then most part.
A good birthday or Christmas prese
This very colourful building set comes with a little boat, dolphins, a beach hut, plus two little dolls and loads of playful extras that make putting this together with your child loads of fun as well as educational.
There are many bricks to it so it’s not a 5 minute job putting it all together, but this makes it all the more rewarding as it requires your child to maintain focus and concentration, so it’s a win-win!
My little girl really enjoyed building this Barbie reveal set. The instructions were very clear and she didn’t need any help from me. The boat, island and the dolphins all come in individual bags so that you can concentrate on building one item at a time. She particularly liked putting the little figures in warm water to reveal them and she also likes wiping the dolphins to reveal their tattoos as she likes to call them. The quality of the set is good and I think the price is ok since my daughter has had lots of fun playing with it. I think it would make a nice preset for any little girl or boy.
Not only is this building blocks but it also plays into the whole “surprise” field that my daughter has become fascinated by and to top it off there is even some “”color reveal” elements.
From the moment she saw this she was jumping up and down with excitement. The models are pretty good and she was able to follow the instructions and complete the build herself without assistance (6). The ‘surprises’ part added to the excitement, and she took great joy in opening the bags hoping for something special. The color reveal was a nice touch and although it only a couple of small parts it gave the set another dimension.
The comments from my daughter were:
“I really like the boat and the see-through bit at the back”
“The dolphins are so cute”
“The sun beds are so great because they move and can go anywhere”
My little niece is a Barbie fanatic and having this pop up on vine is lovely as she is so appreciative of toys I get to grab her to test from vine. It arrived as always from the Barbie manufacturer in really wonderful packaging and inside you get a mix of accessories and doll figure. This one is set as a beach / harbour themed having the boat, dock and beach. My niece absolutely loves it and has shown me already where it fits into her setup. She is lovingly playing with it all and is very much chuffed! This being said, I can’t fault it at all 🙂
We absolutely love this set. There is so much fun to be had for our kids. It combines so many of their interests! From building the set to having dolls and animals! Our kids are enchanted by the magic of colour changing toys. Not only do the dolls change colour but many parts do. Using warm and cold water to activate the colour change our kids were so excited by it all. Days later they still aren’t bored with it and still love to play with the whole set. We especially appreciated it coming with 2 dolls so our kids can play with the set together. It can get a bit messy so it’s best played with in a controlled environment such as in the bath or on a towel/Mat, but it is so worth it for the sheer enjoyment it brings. Fantastic value set for all it does.
So much fun, this lovely Barbie Building Set has a boat, a dolphin jumping hoops and a beach hut all to build up enjoying the creativity part and using problem-solving skills.
My daughter she loves the water reveal looks and this building set it has 2 wow, are 2 micro-dolls and 10 surprises, happy times for someone.
Can be great for Christmas, a lovely present in any situation for Barbie lovers, my daughter she is one of them.
My daughter and I have always loved building sets like this. They are a great way for children to learn fine motor skills and to follow instructions.
Inside the brightly packaged box is everything you will need to build your Barbie Dolphin Exploration. This is a lovely bright set with dolphins, a speed boat, sure and relation beach area.
It does take a while to make up, but my daughter and I enjoyed every second of it. We have a cupboard where our lego-style sets are displayed and my daughter loves playing with them once they are made up.
This set also comes with surprises and hair that changes colour and dolphins that have water splash marks. There is so much to discover and enjoy.
Would make a lovely gift.
Good simple set to add the Mega Barbie family.
Very cute and the Colour Reveal adding more fun to the set.
A little unknown and mystery, giving a little surprise to the play.
Easy to construct, should keep the little one busy for a while.
Price is slight high at 24 for a small set.
Perfect gift for Christmas
This is great it comes with 15 Surprise accessories and is a fun little set
I love the added extra of adding water to reveal the character you get
My niece loved this it was the gift that kept giving with surprises on after the other
I like that it’s a play set with a scene so it doesn’t just get casted aside once opened like some of the mystery toys I’ve seen before
