Mattel's Barbie Color Reveal sets have become a popular commodity among kids for the interactive element they supply, which leaves kids guessing on how their new doll will look until they've removed the exterior coating with water.
With its new Slumber Party Fun Set, Mattel includes more than 50 surprises to keep kids entertained, including two dolls, three pets, and 36 accessories that they can play with. When kids first open the box, they'll find 28 mystery packages, along with a game mat, dice, and kid-sized eye masks that they can wear to join in their dolls' slumber party fun.
The set also comes with a sponge that can activate more color changes, with cold and warm water activating different hues so that kids can repeatedly transform their dolls.
