The Rainbow High series is a collection of 11-inch fashion dolls recognizable for bright rainbow-themed hair, stylish clothing and upscale accessories. While each doll comes with a fun, vibrant outfit, you can purchase extra accessories separately to expand the play experience. Check out the MGA Entertainment Rainbow High House for a luxurious dollhouse with great details and high-end fixtures.
Rainbow High makes accessories for both the fashion dolls and the kids who love them. While there are no matching doll and kid accessories, the Rainbow High theme is consistent throughout:
A Rainbow High fashion doll is 11 inches tall, which is a little shorter than the average Barbie doll. It has a larger head and facial features than a Barbie doll. For the best fit, you'll want clothing and accessories designed specifically for a Rainbow High doll. This is especially so with items like boots or wigs, which are shaped to the curves of a Rainbow High Doll's legs and head.
Shadow High is a spinoff line of dolls and accessories from the Rainbow High world. Shadow High is the rival school to Rainbow High with its own characters that feature deeper, darker color schemes than the Rainbow High dolls. Since these dolls are the same size as Rainbow High dolls, all accessories are interchangeable.
Whether the accessory is for the doll or the child playing with the doll, it should be versatile. For example, the Rainbow High Secret Journal isn't just a journal. It comes with a necklace that locks and unlocks the toy. The Rainbow High Hair Studio isn't just about dyeing doll hair. It also has hair pins so your child can create different hairstyles to go with each new look.
The best accessory sets come with a Rainbow High doll so your child can jump right into playing. The doll can be one of the primary Rainbow High characters or a new character with a storyline tied to the playset in which it is featured. Often a bonus doll will include details specific to the set, such as doll hair that is compatible with certain dyes.
When it comes to Rainbow High accessories, colorful imagery is everything. Accessories that change color do so in one of two ways:
Most Rainbow High accessory sets cost $20-$60. A few individual accessories cost under $20 and a full dollhouse can cost over $100.
A. Rainbow High toys are designed for children 4 years old and up. Most are recommended for children 6-15 years old.
A. Most Rainbow High accessories do not require batteries. The ones that do usually require AA batteries. These do not come with the toy and must be purchased separately.
