I've been excitedly waiting for the Unicorn Academy merchandise to hit the shelves for several months now. Not because I'm an avid reader of the original book series by Julie Sykes (although I recently read and enjoyed the first volume), but because I tend to be interested in everything Spin Master does.
I'm a fan of Spin Master primarily because of their Liv line, which came out way back in 2009 and jump-started my enthusiasm for dolls and doll reviewing. I was also amused by the flamboyant La Dee Da dolls, despite their minimal articulation, and kind of wish I'd kept a few of those girls in my collection. Most recently, I reviewed Spin Master's Mermaid High dolls and found them to be versatile and whimsical little play companions.
Based on that history, I tend to have a high level of enthusiasm when I learn about a new Spin Master doll line. And with the Unicorn Academy release I was doubly excited because not only are there a bunch of new dolls, in two different scales, but there's a wonderful selection of unicorn characters to accompany them:
