Customer Reviews
Let me start my review by saying that I am a HUGE Cyndi Lauper fan, and have been since '84, standing by her all these years and never leaving her side. That being said...
I've always wished there was a doll of Cyndi, even imagining that she'd be part of some "Rock Divas" collection in the Barbie line. Little did I know that I wasn't too far off track! Here we FINALLY have the Cyndi Lauper doll, the final(?) doll in the Barbie "Ladies of the '80s" collection. After the great job Mattel did with Debbie Harry, and then the HORRIBLE tragedy that is the Joan Jett doll, I awaited Cyndi's plastic incarnation with a mix of excitement and a slight bit of dread. I received two of the dolls today, and I can happily report that she came out BETTER than I'd hoped; IMO, she came out even better than the prototype! Mattel NAILED Cyndi's eyes perfectly, even managing to capture her joyous attitude in them, and the Teresa head mold was indeed the best choice to use for Cyndi, as the mouth and cheeks mimic Cyndi's face very well. Very little seems to have changed from the prototype; even the complex, metal, multi-linked beaded earrings made it through to the produced doll. Even the doll's hair goes one step further than the prototype, with streaks of yellow and red being shot through the orange/auburn, giving the doll's hair a LOT of color. The fabrics of her fashion are great, too, with a rich tafetta for her skirt, and fabric with a lace overlay making up her corset. She is also wearing a plastic flower necklace, three metal chain bracelets, and a black/gold elastic cord ankle bracelet over her fishnets. The qualms I have with the doll are few, if any; the "short" side of Cyndi's hair doesn't go back far enough on her head to truly represent her hair circa '84 (when the ENTIRE right side of her head was shaved), but, without resorting to flocking that side, it would've been a hard look to pull off on the doll (her hair will just have to be kept swept to the left). Another slight issue is her positioning in the box; they made a great new left arm for Cyndi, only to put her left hand on her hip in the box, instead of out in front of her to capture one of her unique "frozen in mid-dance" poses. The last minor qualm would be the box photos; with TONS of pics of Cyndi from that time period, THOSE were the best ones Mattel could come up with? I could've given them better pics out of my OWN collection! But, like I said, minor quibbles about this AMAZING doll. If you're after all three in this series and were put off by the JJ doll, trust me, you have NOTHING to worry about with the Cyndi Lauper doll! And Mattel, if you're out there, let's keep it going....give us Pat Benetar and Annie Lennox (but you can skip the Madonna doll; all she would do is say nasty, spiteful things behind the Cyndi doll's back)!
As a long-time Cyndi Lauper fan, I'd thought about buying a Cyndi doll before-if anyone ever made one, that is. Well they finally did with Mattel's Ladies of the 80s line. Out of the 3 available so far, I think the Cyndi one is the best. Maybe it's because she is one of my favorite singers. But the quality is good and the look captures Cyndi in her She's So Unusual/Girls Just Wanna Have Fun heyday. I think this one is the closest to resembling it's model, compared to the others. It also really captures a certain time in the mid 80s. From her bright orange-red hair and red dress to her red shoes, the doll stands out with all that color. They gave her nice earrings, a couple of bracelets, an ankle bracelet, and a necklace with flowers on it. I really like the detail. The hair isn't exactly like in the photo, but I think if you opened it you could fix it the way you want. It's exciting to have a doll of a celebrity I've liked since I was a kid.
The design of the box is nice too. I like the pictures they used, although they didn't really have to repeat the same photos over (they used the same ones multiple times), since there are many photos of her from that era. But it's cool.
I've found this doll to be hard to find in stores, unlike the Debbie Harry and Joan Jett versions. It is also usually the most expensive. The only thing I have an issue with is the price. These were originally selling for $50, but prices have dropped in some places, including Amazon. [...] is still a lot for a plastic doll made in China, but that is about the best price you are going to find. In this case it appears to be well-made though, thank goodness, so at least you feel like you are getting your money's worth-especially if you are a Cyndi fan or 80s music fan.
I was lucky and got two of these dolls in the past few weeks-one was a gift and one I bought myself. I plan to keep one in the box and open the other. Maybe it's the 80s-ness of it, but it takes me back to being a little kid in the 80s playing with my Barbie dolls.
