L.O.L Surprise! Series 2 – A Review

We were sent one of the dolls from the new L.O.L Surprise! Series 2, which are available now (you can see our review of LOL Surprise Pets here)

L.O.L Surprise! Series 2

The girls are already big fans of the first series and were beyond excited when we received this one. They knew the drill and quickly unwrapped the first layer to reveal the message: Sick Beat. This gave a clue to the doll’s identity; the girls didn’t figure it out just yet and thought it would be a singer.

Next up came the four collectable stickers, which are like emojis. These link to the things that the doll might do: wee, spit, colour change and cry. You can stick these on the collector poster as a kind of checklist for all the dolls you have.

L.O.L Surprise! The next layers

They quickly unwrapped the next layer to uncover a compartment containing a pink plastic bag, which had a gold bottle charm inside. Another layer and another compartment, this time with black and gold boots.

The next two layers revealed the outfit and accessory, and then it was down to the doll itself. Bingo! We’d got D.J part of the Hip Hop Club of dolls. There are 10 different ‘clubs’ with a number of dolls in each. The dolls are further distinguished as popular, fancy, rare or ultra rare (a # on the collector poster means that a doll is ‘OMW’ – On My Way). D.J is a ‘fancy’ one. I assume ‘popular’ are the most common ones.

There was a big frenzy as they dressed her and then tested to see which features she had. We quickly discovered that D.J spat, but weren’t sure what other feature she had.

We tested our LOL doll by putting it in a bowl of cold water, but not too much happened so we tested out putting the bowl in the freezer. After 10 minutes we took it out and it had colour changed! This caused lot of excitement, as we’d never had a colour change one before. We found out that we could speed up the process by touching the doll directly onto the ice of the freezer (see below video). Further testing showed more extreme colour changing!

The ball turns into a bag/carry case as well as a stand for the doll. It can also be used as a bath and a lounge/diner.

My daughters absolutely loved the new doll. From what I can see, there are no functionality changes from series one, there are just more to collect and in the words of the girls: “we want to collect every one of the LOL dolls series two!”

The RRP for a L.O.L Surprise! Series 2 Doll is £9.99.
