The Dora Links Doll is a new doll from Fisher Price® that received a strong amount of criticism by concerned parents. The issue stemmed from the perceived changes that were going to take place with the new Dora Links Doll. This doll is a slightly older version than the classic Dora which has been featured on the Dora The Explorer™ series. The main concern was over the possible look of the new Dora doll which some feared would make the doll look "tramp" like. This concern was raised after an early black and white silhouette of the new doll was given that gave some the impression she would be wearing a short skirt.

However, a newer version of the doll in color shows this to not be the case at all. Instead, Dora sports a pretty looking dress with leggings. This look is one fans have described as a-dora-ble and certainly doesn't give rise to the fear that Dora is dressing less than acceptable. Instead, most of the initial concerns of the Dora Links Doll have been replaced by curiosity and interest in what the new Dora can do. In fact, the new doll can do quite a lot.

The new doll offers girls a chance to have a nice looking doll to play with, but what really makes the doll unique is that it connects to the internet where they can play all kinds of games. Here, girls are able to solve mysteries with Dora and Explorer Girls which is her new cast of friends with this toy. 

We believe that despite the negative criticism early on about this toy, the Dora Links Doll could very easily become a best seller this year. Early reviews of this product should give a strong indication of whether this product will be a winner this fall. The product will be released on September 29th so reviews should start pouring in soon. It will be interesting to see if this early controversy works in favor of or against the new Dora.
