    I also bought a V4 Baby Annabell doll for my 3yr old for Xmas 08 and have had the same problems as many of you have stated here - after waking and turning her head to one side she switches off and can only be reactivated by taking out and replacing the same batteries.

    Unfortunately, I bought mine from Woolworths so couldn't return it so I sent mine back to Zapf. They returned the same doll with a note stating "Please only use Phillips Powerlife Betteries" which they also enclosed (but did not return my brand new duracells!) - I will point out that this was an illegal comment by them - but if it made the doll work and kept my daughter happy then, hey, that is what I would do. However, this did not completely solve the problem but did seem to make it more frequent.

    I now find that these batteries have run out and I cannot buy any Powerlife locally and have tried other brands of batteries but Baby Annabell will not work at all now. I shall have to contact Zapf again and see if they can help - I really would like the doll replaced with a newer version though as these comments with the V4 doll are very consistant.

    I bought this doll (baby annabell v4)b for my little sister and it was good to start with. I should have read the reviews before buying it, as i see alot of people have the problem of having to take the batteries out and putting them back in.

    Baby Annabell could be a nice doll if it worked propperly. Baby Annabel turns out after some time. Turn off/on button does not work if that happens. You have to open and get the batteries out and in. After that it works again for some time. This is our third Baby Annabell in 1 month with this problem.The forums in the Netherlands write about this same problem with Baby Annabell version 4.

    Dont waste your money as your children will be very disapointed and you'll end up taking shares out with duracell.

    It has been interesting to read the different comments on this doll, my daughter got the new version of this doll for her birthday and has had nothing but problems with it, it doesn't cry and everytime you feed it it stops working and won't work till the batteries have been changed, total waste of money if you ask me, the shop where it was brought from won't do anything as i don't have a receipt, so where do i go now.

Its just that i cant get acessories for baby annabell in brasil, have to order from overseas

    If anyone knows of where I can get another version 3 doll please let me know.
    Baby Annabell V4 is the biggest waste of time. I have twin girls, one girl has V3 and we have had no problems. We are on our third Version 4 doll and she doesn't move her head but makes an awful whirring sound.
    We bought this one from Amazon and they say that Zapf have a fault with this version. So why are companies still selling it???

    I bought 2 of these for the my twin daughters, after 1 hour one stopped working completely changed batteries 3 times. Also the eye lashes fell out. Changed doll at shop where bought, again after one hour batteries had run out again. Would be excellent play value if the batteries would last more than 1 hour. You cant keep re-inserting the batteries every 5 minutes to make the functions work. Very frustrating for the girls. Will not bother again with baby annabel unless the manufacture pulls ...

    Could go on and on about how bad this doll is. Spoken to manufacturers about faults , been offered yet another doll , but frankly wont bother with another one. Will have to learn from this one , never bought this make of doll before, always regarded them as expensive, now they are a waste of money as well. Manufacturers trying to be clever in their design , but failling miserably with the practical aspects and delivering poorly to the expectaions of the young children they are trying to appeal t ...

    I bought a Baby Annabell for my daughter for christmas 2007 and by January 5th 2008 we are already on faulty Baby Annabell number 3. The neck mechanism which makes the head turn has not worked properly on any of the three dolls. If this problem was solved it would be a great toy worthy of 8 or 9 out of 10. As it is though it only gets 3 out of 10.
    More importantly though I now have one very upset daughter and a load of Baby Annabell equipment / clothes that have been a waste of money so far. ...

    Nice doll for little girls, my daughter loves it. I liked the fact that it crys, however it can hardly stay asleep. It automatically wakes up after 30 seconds

    I liked the Baby Annabell doll because she can play with others. She is awesome (besides sleeping and play).

    My mother-in-law got the Baby Annabell doll a while back for my daughter, who has since lost interest in it. It has been played with a few times, but it mostly sits naked in the corner of her room, switched off of course. My daughter really loved making it cry because it annoyed me, and she also hated the fact she couldn't put it in the bath!

    I think this doll has more appeal for adults due to the weird 'real' sounds and facial movement (creepy)! Definitely an expensive toy for what it is. ...
