Customer Reviews

Let me just start by saying I absolutely adore this doll - it's one of the most beautiful reproductions I have ever seen. The doll's face paint is perfect, the outfit and swimsuit are exactly as pictured. Just lovely. As an added charm, Mattel actually didn't shellac the doll's hair into its usual frozen helmet. The hair is actually SOFT, can you believe it? Wow!
The downside? There are several: Once again, Mattel has stapled and fastened this doll to death. Four plastic staples in the head, alone. And it's impossible to cut them down flat without harming the hairdo. Why is it necessary to keep anchoring the collectible dolls' heads to the cardboard, at all? What is the point? Every Barbie collectible l doll I own has sharp plastic points sticking through her hair and you can never enjoy combing or touching it. Seriously, do Barbie heads really require multiple anchors to maintain their display position? Also, there is so much plastic piercing the clothes and poking holes in the legs that removing the doll from the cardboard takes an eternity. And quite wasteful packaging, btw.
Finally, the doll stand, itself, is not the proper height for this Barbie. You have to slide the waist grip all the way to the very top of the stand in order to keep the doll upright, and it keeps slipping off.
Still, this is in no way the fault of the doll, herself. And her loveliness makes up for all my complaints.

Mattel gets an A from me on reproducing this doll. She's beautiful, with lovely facial color and gorgeous hair. She looks fabulous in Matinee Fashion (yes, I remove them from the box). I was too young for this version of Barbie when she first came out, but I leaped at the chance to buy the reproduction. She's a lovely addition to my collection.
I am in full agreement with the other reviewer regarding the packaging. It's frustrating, and complete overkill. What is with stapling the head to the box? I can't stand it. And although my doll did not have the heavy shellac on her hair like I've had with their other reproductions, mine still had this weird oily residue. I was able to get it clean but still, this was not necessary. Mattel, can you please just leave the hair alone so we collectors can enjoy it? No staples, no hair gunk.
That being said, I am really looking forward to what else Mattel has in mind for their collector series. Barring the packaging and hair treatment annoyances these dolls are a lovely addition to my collection.
